In the latest development, Banana Gun hits one million users.
Crypto trading has changed. The days of logging into a centralized exchange, placing a market order, and waiting are giving way to something faster, more direct, and more demanding. On-chain trading – buying and selling tokens directly on the blockchain without a middleman – now accounts for a significant and growing share of crypto activity.
But trading on-chain comes with risks that centralized platforms handle behind the scenes: front-running bots that steal your price, scam tokens designed to trap your funds, and the sheer complexity of operating across multiple blockchain networks.
Banana Gun was built to solve exactly this. Originally created in 2023 as a private tool for a small group of traders, it has since grown into one of the most widely used trading platforms in decentralized finance – now serving over one million users across five blockchain networks, with more than $16 billion in total volume processed. The platform works through two interfaces: a Telegram bot for fast, on-the-go trading and Banana Pro, a browser-based trading terminal for those who want full dashboard control.
Here is what new traders should know about how it works and why it has attracted the user base it has.

What Banana Gun Actually Does
At its core, Banana Gun is an execution layer. It sits between you and the blockchain and makes sure your trades go through faster, safer, and more reliably than if you were using a standard wallet or exchange interface.
If you are buying a newly launched token, Banana Gun can execute your purchase in the very first block of trading – before most other buyers even see the token is live. The platform holds an 88% success rate in these competitive first-block entries on Ethereum, the highest of any major platform. If you are making a routine swap, it routes your transaction through private channels that prevent bots from seeing and exploiting your trade before it settles.
If you want to set a limit order to buy at a specific price, automate recurring purchases through dollar-cost averaging, or copy the trades of successful wallets automatically, the platform handles all of this. And if the token you are buying turns out to be a scam – a rug pull, a honeypot, or a contract with hidden malicious code – the platform’s security systems are designed to catch it before your money is at risk.
The simplest way to think about it: Banana Gun gives you the trading speed and protection that was previously only available to technically sophisticated users or custom-built bots, but packaged into interfaces that anyone can use.
Two Ways to Trade
Banana Gun offers two interfaces designed for different situations, both running on the same underlying engine.
The Telegram bot is the fastest way to start. There is nothing to download or install. You open a Telegram chat with the bot, generate a wallet or import your own, and you are ready to trade. Paste a token contract address into the chat, choose your amount, and execute. It is designed for speed – reacting to new launches, making quick swaps, or managing positions while away from a computer. The setup takes minutes, and the learning curve is minimal.
Banana Pro is the full trading terminal, available in any web browser at pro.bananagun.io. It offers a customizable dashboard where you can arrange charts, wallet views, order panels, and analytics widgets in whatever layout matches how you trade. Features include real-time charts, limit orders, DCA automation, copy trading, multi-wallet management, a live feed of new token launches, and tools for analyzing holder distribution and top trader behavior. For traders who spend time at a screen managing active positions across multiple tokens and chains, Banana Pro provides the depth that a chat interface cannot.
The key point is that both interfaces share the same execution engine and security protections. A trade placed through the Telegram bot receives the same MEV protection, the same anti-rug monitoring, and the same transaction routing as a trade placed through the full terminal. You choose the interface that fits the moment. The quality of what happens underneath does not change.
Built-In Protection Against the Most Common Losses
On-chain trading carries risks that do not exist on centralized exchanges, and most of them are invisible to new traders. Banana Gun addresses the major ones automatically.
Front-running and sandwich attacks happen when bots detect your pending transaction and trade against you to extract profit. Banana Gun prevents this by routing transactions through private pathways that bots cannot see. Your trade settles at the price you expected, not a price manipulated by an automated extractor.
Honeypot tokens are contracts designed to let you buy but prevent you from selling. Before your trade executes, Banana Gun’s pre-trade simulation runs it through a virtual environment to detect these traps. If the contract contains malicious code, the trade is blocked before your funds are committed.
Rug pulls occur when a developer drains all liquidity from a token’s pool, leaving holders with worthless assets. The platform monitors token contracts in real time for warning signs – sudden tax changes, suspicious ownership patterns, liquidity movements – and can trigger a protective sell on your behalf before a rug pull completes.
None of these protections require you to enable them manually or understand how they work technically. They are part of the execution layer. Every trade passes through them by default.
Five Networks, One Platform
Crypto activity does not happen on a single blockchain. Different networks offer different tokens, different trading environments, and different opportunities. Banana Gun supports trading on Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Base, and MegaETH – all accessible from the same interface without switching platforms or reconnecting wallets.
Ethereum is the largest DeFi ecosystem with the deepest liquidity. Solana offers low fees and near-instant transactions, making it popular for memecoin trading and smaller positions. BNB Chain has one of the most active retail trading communities. Base is a growing EVM-compatible network with increasing token activity. And MegaETH is the newest addition – a blockchain capable of processing 100,000 transactions per second, which Banana Gun supported from the very first block of its mainnet launch.
For new traders, this means you do not need to figure out which chain is hot this week and find a separate tool for it. When activity shifts between networks – and it shifts constantly – you are already positioned to trade wherever the volume goes.
Earning From the Platform You Use
Banana Gun has its own token, BANANA, and it comes with a straightforward value proposition. The platform collects a small fee on every trade processed through its infrastructure, and 40% of all collected fees are distributed directly to BANANA holders. Distributions happen automatically every four hours, paid in ETH or SOL depending on the chain. There is no staking, no lockup, and no complex claiming process. You hold a minimum of 50 BANANA tokens, and the revenue share flows to your wallet.
This means that as more people trade on Banana Gun and total volume grows, the distributions grow proportionally. It is real yield derived from real platform activity – not token emissions or inflationary rewards. The team has further demonstrated long-term alignment by burning its own token allocation linearly over 36 months rather than selling.
Getting Started
For traders who want to try Banana Gun, the fastest path is through the Telegram bot. Open Telegram, search for the official Banana Gun bot, and follow the setup prompts – you will have a wallet generated and be ready to trade in minutes. For those who prefer a browser-based experience, Banana Pro is accessible at pro.bananagun.io with a quick wallet setup process.
The platform is non-custodial, meaning you retain full control of your funds at all times. Banana Gun never holds your assets. The execution engine handles routing and protection, but your wallet keys stay with you.
Full documentation is available at docs.bananagun.io, covering everything from initial setup to advanced features like sniping configuration, copy trading, and DCA strategies. The community Telegram channel and the platform’s blog at blog.bananagun.io provide ongoing updates, trading insights, and support.
One million traders have already made the switch. The infrastructure is live across five chains, both interfaces are operational, and the security stack runs on every trade by default. The only thing left is to try it.
