Trojan vs BullX (2026)
The two largest Solana sniper bots, head-to-head. Trojan is the volume leader; BullX is the multi-chain web product. Here's where each one wins.
TL;DR
- Pick Trojan if: You only trade Solana memecoins, you prefer Telegram, you might refer friends.
- Pick BullX if: You trade across Solana + Ethereum + Base, you prefer a web terminal, and you're not driving affiliate income.

Speed
In synthetic benchmarks, both bots cluster in the same tier. Cryptonews's 2026 ranking places BullX, Trojan, and Banana Gun all tied at 8/10 for speed, with Smithii Sniper alone at 9/10. Practically, the speed difference between Trojan and BullX is below the noise floor for most retail trades. Don't pick one over the other on latency.
Fees in different scenarios
If you're a Solana-only trader:
- Trojan via referral: 0.9% × volume
- BullX: 1.0% × volume
- → Trojan wins by 0.1%. On $10k weekly volume, Trojan saves you $10/week.
If you're an Ethereum-heavy trader:
- Trojan: N/A (Solana only)
- BullX manual buys + limit orders on ETH: 0.5%
- → BullX wins — and Trojan is not even an option.
If you bridge between chains via stablecoins:
- Trojan: swap on Solana at 1%
- BullX: stablecoin swaps at 0%
- → BullX wins.
Affiliate program — this is where they really diverge
Both promise "up to 35% across 5 layers." The execution diverges sharply:
Trojan: - Documented payouts of 30,800+ SOL shared through the program - No clawback complaints in the public review corpus - Daily payouts to your trading wallet
BullX: - Claimed "1:1 copy" of Trojan's structure per Cryptonews - Pattern of complaints about restricted accounts and disappearing earnings — see Trustpilot and the same Cryptonews piece - Many small referrers are paid normally; the issues cluster around larger referrers
If you only care about using the bot and getting your own 10% fee discount, both work fine and Trojan is slightly cheaper. If you intend to drive referral volume, the public record favors Trojan.
Security
Neither bot has had a reported infrastructure exploit as of May 2026. Both use the same fundamental hot-wallet model — your private key sits in their service. The right move with either bot is identical: dedicated trading wallet, fund only what you'll trade with.
BullX has more multi-chain integrations, which is more surface area; that's not a known issue but it's a structural fact.
Verdict
For the median Solana memecoin trader: pick Trojan. It's slightly cheaper, has more lifetime volume, and the affiliate program is cleaner.
For the multi-chain trader who wants one account for SOL+ETH+Base: pick BullX. It's the best in class for that workflow, and the affiliate concerns don't matter if you're not referring.
