# EMC2 AI Token Sniping & Bot Detection

> EMC2 AI Token Sniping & Bot Detection is a paid API for AI agents from emc2ai.io, paid per call via x402, $1/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Detects early token purchase patterns, bot activity, and sniper wallets for a given token contract address on supported EVM chains.

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability emc2-ai-139fbf44 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Check if the token at 0xAbCd1234... on Base was sniped by bots — I want to see the early buyers and any bot or sniper activity detected.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to assess whether a token launch was compromised by bot snipers or coordinated early buyers, particularly when evaluating token safety or fairness of distribution on EVM chains. Prefer this over generic wallet analysis tools when the specific focus is launch-time sniper and bot detection with AI-enhanced classification.

## Known failure modes

- Missing tokenAddress parameter returns 400 error
- Missing X-PAYMENT header returns 402 with payment requirements
- Unsupported chain name returns error
- Invalid token contract address returns empty results or error
- Token with no trading history returns empty dataset

## How this service works

Detect early token purchase patterns and bot activity. Supported chains: ethereum, base, bsc, arbitrum, polygon. Default chain: base. Required params: tokenAddress.

## Output

Returns a list of early token buyers with AI-powered analysis flagging bot wallets, sniper addresses, and suspicious purchase patterns, along with metadata about timing and capital flows at token launch.
