# How it works

### Let us explain it the way it has happened to everyone:

Users often find themselves in groups where friends constantly send plenty of Contract Addresses (CA). Occasionally, friends become very excited about certain tokens and promote them heavily. Naturally, some users may be away from the keyboard (AFK) during these critical moments, only to return and discover that the token has already made 50x gains. This can leave users feeling disappointed that they missed out on easy profits.

That's exactly why Alpha Gardeners created the **Smash The Button Scanner** and the **Free Sniper**, which automatically purchases the token that gets "**Smashed**."

### Here’s a detailed explanation:

First, users need to invite the **Smash The Button Solami Scanner** onto their server, either Discord or Telegram, based on their preference.

* **Discord:** [Invite Scanner](https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=1190346694055964753)
* **Telegram:** [Invite Scanner](https://t.me/solami_scanner_bot)

Next, users need to set up the **AG Free Sniper**:

Here’s how the process works:

A user scans a token on the server. The scan provides all essential insights about the token. If convinced they’ve found something promising and wish to call it out, the user clicks **"Smash It."** Everyone who has properly set up the Free Sniper will automatically purchase this token, even while AFK. Additionally, automated orders for take-profit and stop-loss can be created within the sniper, making the entire process completely hands-free. **This ensures that users never miss potential moonshots again.**

Only the person who scans the token can click **“Smash It.”** (You can also set it that **only admins** can “Smash” tokens if you don’t fully trust some of your users.)

We also have a **/lite** version (activated via command), which works great with Rick Bot, so you don’t need two scanners on the server.
