# How It Works

#### 1. New Pool Detection

Selen AI continuously monitors the Solana blockchain for newly created liquidity pools.

#### 2. Rapid AI Analysis & Scoring

Once a pool is detected, our AI immediately analyzes available data such as:

* Initial liquidity
* Deployer wallet behavior
* Token contract characteristics
* Historical patterns

An initial **Risk Score** and **Risk Level** are instantly assigned.

#### 3. User-Defined Sniping Criteria

You control how sniping behaves. Define your rules with:

* **Minimum Risk Threshold**\
  e.g., Only snipe tokens rated as “Medium Risk” or better.
* **AI-Based Filters**\
  Avoid pools flagged with reasons like “High LP Concentration by Deployer,” or prioritize ones with “Significant Community Liquidity.”
* **Investment Budget**\
  Set how much to allocate per snipe.
* **Transaction Speed Settings**\
  Customize gas and priority fee for faster execution.
* **Technical Filters (Optional)**\
  Combine AI score with thresholds like minimum liquidity in USD.

#### 4. Automated Execution

If a new pool meets all your criteria, Selen AI triggers an automated buy — faster than manual entry, yet filtered through AI analysis.

#### 5. Post-Snipe Monitoring

After entry, the AI continues tracking the token, updating its Risk Score and Risk Level. You'll receive alerts for significant changes that may influence your exit strategy.
