# Buy

* **Token Prompt**\
  The bot will ask you for the token’s symbol or mint address. If you don’t know the exact mint, you can provide the symbol, and the bot will try to look it up. If there are multiple tokens with that symbol, it will prompt you to select one from a list.
* **Preview & Confirmation**\
  After identifying the token, the bot will fetch real-time price and market cap data from on-chain or aggregator sources. It will show you:

  * **Current Price** – The per-token price in SOL or USD.
  * **Market Cap** – A quick reference to see how large or small the token is.
  * **Estimated Swap** – How much of the token you’ll receive for the SOL you’re spending.
  * **Price Impact / Slippage** – The estimated impact on price from your purchase.

  You’ll have a chance to confirm or cancel before finalizing the trade.
* **Transaction Execution**\
  The bot will automatically route your trade through the best liquidity sources (e.g., Raydium, Orca, Jupiter) to ensure minimal slippage and a high likelihood of success. You’ll see a final message with the transaction signature so you can verify it on a block explorer.
* **Tips**
  * Keep an eye on **Price Impact**. If it’s too high, consider buying smaller amounts in multiple transactions.
  * Make sure you have enough SOL in your main wallet to cover both the purchase and the small network fee.
