What is robinhood-token-sniper?

Robinhood Chain Token Creator is a TypeScript toolkit for deploying ERC-20 tokens on Robinhood Chain, the EVM-compatible Layer 2 network that Robinhood launched in July 2026 (built on Arbitrum Orbit). ERC-20 is a common standard for creating tokens on Ethereum-style blockchains. The repository's own name and topics describe it as a token sniper bot, but the README documents a straightforward token deployment toolkit, not automated sniping or trading logic. With this toolkit, a developer can deploy a mintable, burnable ERC-20 token built on OpenZeppelin contracts to either the Robinhood Chain testnet or mainnet, then verify the contract on the Blockscout block explorer. It also includes read-only helpers, built with the viem library, for fetching a token's name, symbol, supply, and owner directly from the chain without needing a wallet connected. Setup involves cloning the repository, installing dependencies with npm, and copying an example environment file to set a deployer wallet's private key. From there, npm scripts create a token on testnet or mainnet by passing a name, symbol, and initial supply. The owner of a deployed token can mint additional supply later, and the project also exports the network details needed to add Robinhood Chain to a wallet like MetaMask. The project is organized into a Solidity contract file, TypeScript deployment and verification scripts, chain configuration, and Hardhat network settings. The README stresses using a dedicated deployer key with only the ETH needed for gas, and describes itself as a developer template rather than financial advice. It is released under the MIT license. This is aimed at developers who want to launch their own ERC-20 token on Robinhood Chain, whether for testing or a real deployment, without writing the deployment and verification scripts from scratch.
