Ever wanted to build a mempool sniping bot? In this class, we’ll build and launch three different bots: a sophon clone which looks for BRC20 mint transactions to front-run, a weak entropy keys stealer, and a lightning channel anchor bot, which looks for free sats dropped by lightning force closes.
All bots will be written Python.
