Snipers Stream

Real-time sniper detection events delivered over WebSocket.

Stream name: snipers

The Snipers stream delivers real-time updates on wallets that bought a token within the first few blocks of trading. These early buyers often have an information advantage and their combined holdings can signal elevated risk for later participants.

This is a lightweight derived stream -- it extracts the snipers_pct field from the parent dex_metrics stream. Use it when you only need sniper concentration data without the full holder analysis payload.
