# Anti Sniper Suite
> Sniping tokens is a feature. Choose to turn it on or off with Meteora's Anti Sniper Suite.
For any token launch, sniper bots have an incredibly unfair advantage as they can buy up a substantial portion of the initial token supply right at the activation slot, at the earliest/lowest prices, in order to sell for a quick profit. This prevents tokens from being widely distributed and severely disadvantages genuine users and supporters of the token project.
Meteora has developed an advanced Anti-Sniper Suite (A.S.S.) to counter the threat of mercenary sniper bots during token launches, helping to provide a fairer experience for the community.
# A.S.S. Core Components
Configurable fee decay over time designed to deter sniper bots by imposing higher fees during the initial launch phase.
Configurable fee decay that reduces fees progressively as the token price increases from its starting point.
Configurable fee slope designed to deter sniper bots by increasing the fee depending on the trade size.
A complementary anti-bot mechanism that provides early access for genuine supporters to purchase tokens before the pool starts trading.
# A.S.S. Progress
