TL;DR
In ten consecutive live‑net tests, Blazing placed its buy one slot ahead of Trojan six times and tied four. On Solana’s ~400 ms blocks, that single‑slot edge can be the difference between buying low and buying higher.
1 / Why Block Timing Matters
Sub‑second finality – Solana averages about 400 ms per block; one slot sooner can shift price by double‑digit percentages on a fresh token.
Priority‑fee ordering – Validators sort transactions by compute units × µ‑lamport bid. Effective priority, not just raw lamports, decides queue position.
Thin launch liquidity – The first fills hit the flattest part of the AMM curve.
2 / How I Tested
Rounds 10 (back‑to‑back)
Buy amount: 0.002 SOL
Slippage: 100 %
Priority fee: 0.001 SOL
Bribe: 0.001 SOL
Trigger Telegram delayed‑send → both bots’ auto‑buy
Tokens 10 newly launched pairs, each ≥ 10k SOL day‑one volume
Measurement: comparing blocks. Earlied block - faster.
No private RPC tricks or custom validators—just two off‑the‑shelf bots and identical input.

Tally — Blazing 6, Draw 4, Trojan 0
4 / Why Blazing Comes Out Ahead
Blazing gains its edge from a stack of small—but compounding—optimizations. It runs as a Rust‑native executable, so there’s no JavaScript or Python runtime in the critical path. Its transactions are assembled more compactly, meaning each lamport of priority fee buys more “weight” in the validator queue. The bot also skips the usual pre‑flight simulation, cutting an extra round‑trip to the RPC. On top of that, it can bundle orders with an optional Jito bribe, giving them a better shot at sub‑slot re‑ordering. Finally, Blazing keeps pool and token‑account data cached locally, whereas Trojan resolves those accounts on send. Together, these adjustments let Blazing reach the validator scheduler a touch sooner—and on Solana, a touch is often a whole block.
5 / Latency Tips You Can Steal
Trim compute units – A smaller CU limit means every lamport of priority fee carries more weight.
Skip pre‑sim on launch buys using degen chad mode – Simulations add ~1 RTT; do them only when safety beats speed.
Rotate low‑latency RPCs – Test multiple endpoints; latency spikes ruin the best code.
Use bundles or tip accounts – If you’re comfortable with MEV relays, slot‑auction bundles can still be re‑ordered ahead inside the block.
6 / Verdict
Blazing is currently the quicker Solana trading bot under the settings above. Trojan still fills reliably, but if your edge is block‑zero execution, Blazing—or a custom build that borrows these latency tricks—wins today.
