FAQ
Non-obvious questions about Ignition internals.
Why did my bundle get "Invalid" status?
Usually a stale blockhash. Ignition auto-retries up to 3 times with fresh blockhash. If it persists, the current slot leader may not be connected to Jito. All 9 regional endpoints are hit simultaneously to maximize coverage.
Where does the Jito tip come from?
Deducted from the last side wallet's buy amount (not added on top). If you set a 0.01 SOL tip and your last wallet buys 0.1 SOL, it actually buys 0.09 SOL.
Can I use more than 4 side wallets?
Yes. Jito bundles are limited to 5 TXs, so wallets 5+ go in overflow bundles sent after the primary confirms. They're not atomic with the first 4.
What happens if I close the tab during launch?
Once the bundle is submitted to Jito, your browser is not involved. Re-open and check history. Post-launch background tasks (anti-map hops, motion) will not run until you re-open.
How does the fast path work?
TXs are pre-built in background and cached. Cache valid if: same inputs, same blockhash, blockhash < 30 seconds old. On launch, only signing + submission is needed (sub-second).
Why does Sell+Buyback disable autoSell?
They're mutually exclusive. If sellBuybackEnabled is true, autoSell is disabled for that wallet. Can't atomic-bundle a buyback if the sell already happened independently.
How does supply cap randomization work in Sell+Buyback?
Effective cap = maxSupplyPercent * (0.66 + random * 0.34). This prevents all buyback wallets from hitting identical supply percentages, which would look artificial.
What is the 5-minute key cache?
Decrypted private keys are held in memory for 5 minutes after first use, then cleared. Prevents repeated PBKDF2 derivation (100,000 iterations) during multi-wallet operations.
Can Motion and Sniper Guard conflict?
They interact cooperatively. Motion checks sniperGuard.stopBuyingFlag before every PUMP buy. If Sniper Guard triggers stopBuying or pauseBuying, Motion halts immediately.
Why is Anti-Bubblemap disabled without Bundle Mode?
It routes tokens through intermediary keypairs per side wallet. Without side wallets (bundle mode), there's nothing to obfuscate.
How does terminal spoofing actually work?
Adds a small SOL transfer (100,000-500,000 lamports) to the known fee wallet of a random terminal (Axiom, Photon, GMGN, BullX) on each trade. Block explorers see the fee and attribute the trade to that frontend.
What is the kill switch?
Server-side flag polled every 5 seconds. When active, prevents all bundle submissions. Used for emergency platform-wide pause.
