Mint faster than a person can.

When a new NFT collection launches, it usually goes on sale at a fixed time with a fixed supply. Everybody presses buy at the same second. Most of them are pressing it by hand. If the collection is any good, it sells out in seconds and the people who got in first are the only ones who got in at all.

That is the whole game, and it is a timing game. Easternbot does three things a person cannot:

Chains it works on

Read straight from the bot's own list, so this table cannot drift from what the bot actually supports.

Solana has its own screen, because its mints work differently. Pick SOL on the chain button, or just paste a Solana address; the screen switches itself. Minting on Solana covers what changes.

The first time you open the bot it offers a dry run(a full rehearsal on a test network, where the money is not real). Take it. It runs the entire sequence end to end so you can see what the screen does before anything is at stake.

1. 1

   Open the bot

   Go to easternbot.xyz. It is a web page, not an app.
2. 2

   Press Run dry-run

   The offer appears on first open. If you skipped it, it is still there under the wallet sheet.
3. 3

   Watch the log

   You will see the same sequence a real mint uses: checking the contract, arming, firing, and a result per wallet.

A seed phrase(a list of words that is the master key to a set of wallets) is the only thing you need to recreate every wallet the bot uses. Anyone who has it has your money, so it never leaves your device andEasternbot never receives it.

1. 1

   Open Setup

   Tap Set up mint wallets, or the settings button at the top right. Wallets, a signer of your own and a box are all set up there, once, and stay off the race screen after that.
2. 2

   Paste a seed phrase, or keys

   Paste the phrase into Seed phrase or private keys and choose how many wallets to derive from it, typically four to eight. The same phrase makes that many Ethereum wallets and that many Solana wallets: the Solana ones are the same accounts Phantom shows for that phrase. Private keys, one per line, are taken as they are, Ethereum or Solana, and replace only that chain's wallets. Easternbot does not make a phrase for you: make a fresh one in a wallet app you trust, just for minting.
3. 3

   Set a passphrase, then Save wallets

   This encrypts the keys on your device. It is not the seed phrase and it is not recoverable. Write it down, then press Save wallets.
4. 4

   Turn on Face ID or fingerprint

   Optional but worth it. It unlocks the set with one scan instead of typing the passphrase before every race. The name on the button matches whatever your device actually has.
5. 5

   Fund them from a cold wallet

   Send each mint wallet enough for the mint price plus gas, on the chain the sale is on. The bot will tell you which wallets are short before it arms.

Something has to hold the keys and sign the purchases. That thing is called the signer(whatever holds your keys and signs transactions).Easternbot never does. You choose where it runs.

You can change your mind later. The wallets are the same wallets whichever one holds them, because they all come from the same seed phrase.

1. 1

   Paste the contract address

   The long 0x… string for the collection. The project publishes it. The bot works out which chain it is on by itself.
2. 2

   Wait for the check

   It reads the contract and runs a simulation(a pretend purchase, to see whether a real one would work). You are looking for Sim passed · ready. This costs nothing and touches nothing.
3. 3

   Choose how hard to push

   Safe, Fast or Nuke decide how much you are willing to pay in gas to get in. See the table below.
4. 4

   Choose how many, and from which wallets

   Qty is per wallet. Check the sale's own limit first: asking for more than it allows usually makes the whole purchase fail.
5. 5

   Arm, or Fire

   If the sale is already open, Fire sends now. If it opens later, Arm · wait for open prepares everything and waits.

The three gas settings

On most chains, paying a higher fee gets you processed sooner. Before the sale opens the bot signs the same purchase at several prices, from a starting bid up to a top bid. The setting decides where the starting bid comes from and which price is sent first.

Under Advanced, the max gas spend per wallet field is your gas budget. The row shows what it is set to while it is closed, so a budget is never hidden. Every bid the bot signs for a wallet is capped by it, so nothing above it can ever be sent. The cost on each setting's button is what its first bid costs at the current fee. If that bid is being outbid, the bot moves to a higher price it already signed, up to the budget and never past it. A wallet's balance can only lower its bids: more money in a wallet is never a reason to bid more.

This is the page to come back to. The bot says exactly one thing at a time, and each of them means something specific.

Before you arm

When Arm is grey, the line under it says why, and it names the first thing to fix:

While it is running

Where each wallet is

Every wallet carries one word for where its purchase is, and the strip across the top of the race shows how far the furthest one has got. Each word comes from something that actually happened — a node's answer, a receipt, the chain's latest block — never from a timer.

Under a wallet's line

When a send does not take, the reason appears in small print under that wallet:

When it is over

Most good mints open at an announced time, often in the middle of your night. You do not have to be there.

Press Arm · wait for open and the bot prepares and signs everything immediately, then waits. When the moment comes there is no work left to do, only a send. It fires against the chain's own clock, which is what actually decides who was first.

If you are arming from a phone

An allowlist(a list of wallets allowed to mint early or at all) comes in three kinds, and the line under the contract address says which one you are looking at.

When the contract keeps the list itself

There is nothing to paste. The contract answers for each wallet, so a panel called On-chain allowlist appears under the address and says how many of your selected wallets are on it:

2 of 3 wallets on the on-chain list — the rest will sit out

It is read again whenever you change which wallets are selected.

When the contract needs a proof

Here the contract only stores a fingerprint of the list, not the addresses on it, so each wallet has to send a small piece of evidence called a proof. Without it, the purchase is rejected. A box called Allowlist proof appears directly under the contract address, only for this kind. Select your wallets first, paste into the box, and press Get proof. The bot checks what you pasted against the contract and says, under the button, how many of your wallets it found. There are three things you can paste, in order of preference:

Some lists also say how many each wallet may mint, one number after each address. Paste them as they come; the bot recognises them and puts each wallet's number into its purchase. It can only do that when the contract's code is published, because that is where it learns which part of the purchase the number goes in. When it is not, the box says so, and those wallets sit out.

When only some of your wallets are on it

Either kind: select them all anyway. The simulation runs as a wallet that is on the list, so it does not matter which one comes first, and each wallet sends its own proof when one is needed. A wallet that is not on the list is not signed at all, because its purchase could only fail. The bot names it and races without it:

···4f2a not on the allowlist · racing without it

If none of your wallets is on the list, the check says so and Arm stays off, because the simulation cannot pass either:

No wallet has a proof — this call cannot pass

No gas is spent in either case.

When the project's server signs

Some sales use a signature from the project's own server rather than a list: the server decides whether your wallet may mint, and if so, signs a permission only that wallet can use. A box called Signed allowance appears under the contract address for this kind. Paste the link the project's site asks for its signature, with {address} where the wallet goes, or paste each wallet's address and signature on its own line. Press Get signatures, and the bot asks the project for every selected wallet the way its site would.

Most Solana collections sell through a candy machine(Metaplex's program for selling a collection one item at a time). Its rules — when it opens, the price, who may mint — sit in a companion account called its guard. The bot mints from Metaplex Core candy machines and from Candy Machine v3, including programmable NFTs.

1. 1

   Paste the candy machine address

   Into Paste candy machine. It is shown on Solscan and usually on the project's mint page. Paste the guard or the collection by mistake and the screen says which one you pasted.
2. 2

   Check the group

   A machine can sell in phases, called groups: an allowlist first, the public after. The bot picks the public one, or asks when two are live at once. An allowlist group needs the list pasted, like on Ethereum.
3. 3

   Arm

   The first time a wallet arms on Solana, the bot sets aside a hold(a small account per wallet that lets its purchases be signed now and sent later) for it: 0.0011 SOL, refundable with Return deposits. Then every bid is signed in advance, checked on your device first, and held.
4. 4

   It fires itself

   While holding, the bot keeps testing the real purchase against the chain. The first time the test mints, it sends. There is no Fire button to press early, because early can only fail.

What each preset bids

Two things buy a place in a Solana block: a priority fee(a price per unit of work, paid to the block's producer whether the mint works or not) and a tip(a payment to Jito, which runs most of Solana's block producers, paid only if the mint goes through). Each preset opens at one step of the same ladder and climbs from there if it is being outbid; Nuke opens at the highest step your cap allows. For a typical mint, under the default cap:

Nothing above 0.01 SOL in fees per wallet is ever signed unless you raise the cap under Advanced. The mint price and the NFT's rent come on top, and the screen shows both before you arm.

Where each wallet is

What it will not mint on Solana

Launchpads that build the purchase on their own servers, Magic Eden's among them, are in this category: the bot cannot sign what it cannot see. The remote signer and the box are Ethereum-only for now, so Solana needs wallets saved in this browser, and selling from here is Ethereum-only too.

When a purchase lands, the bot reads the receipt and shows the token numbers, per wallet. That matters because you cannot sell, send or price a token whose number you never wrote down.

3 tokens · #4211–4213

It also records how long after the sale opened your purchase actually landed. If that number is large, something is slow, and the troubleshooting table covers what.

Press Sell next to what you won. The bot reads three things from the chain before it shows you anything: whether the collection charges a royalty(a cut of every sale that goes to the creator), whether anything is allowed to move your token yet, and the state of your wallet's order history.

1. 1

   Type a price

   The bot shows what you would keep after the royalty and the marketplace fee, and the price you would need to break even on what the mint cost you.
2. 2

   Approve the collection, once

   A sale has to be able to move the token, and that takes one transaction per collection, ever. The bot tells you if it is needed and prepares it.
3. 3

   Sign the listing

   You see one sentence describing exactly what you are authorising before you sign it. Read it.

The licence is checked against the first wallet of your seed phrase. Paying once covers every other wallet derived from the same phrase, so a set of eight is one licence, not eight. It covers Solana too: a Solana mint is armed with the same licence, which is why the Ethereum wallets from your phrase must be saved as well.

1. 1

   Mint wallets are spending money

   Keep nothing in them you would miss. Top them up before a mint and move winnings out afterwards.
2. 2

   Your seed phrase goes in one place, once

   Into the bot's own wallet sheet, on easternbot.xyz and no other address. Never into a link somebody sent you, never into a form, never into a chat. Easternbot will never ask for it anywhere else.
3. 3

   Never arm an unverified contract

   If the code is not published, nobody can tell you what it does with your money. The status says so plainly.
4. 4

   Check the quantity limit before you set Qty

   Asking for more than the sale allows usually fails the whole purchase, and you still pay the gas.
5. 5

   A fast bot into a bad mint is still a bad mint

   Speed is the only thing here that is solved. What to buy is not.
