Banana Gun, the on-chain trading platform known for its speed and security-first architecture, has surpassed one million users across its ecosystem. What began in 2023 as a Telegram bot for sniping new token launches has evolved into a comprehensive execution layer processing billions in annual volume across five major blockchain networks.
The milestone reflects a broader shift in how retail traders approach decentralized finance. As on-chain trading grows more complex, users have gravitated toward platforms that combine execution speed with built-in protection against common threats like MEV attacks, rug pulls, and honeypot scams.
“We never set out to build the biggest bot. We set out to build the one traders could actually trust,” said Daniel, CEO and Co-Founder of Banana Gun. “Reaching one million users validates what we’ve believed from day one: traders want speed, but not at the cost of safety.”
From Telegram to Terminal
Banana Gun launched during the 2023 memecoin surge, quickly gaining traction by outperforming competitors in sniping success rates. The platform’s ability to execute trades in the first block of a token launch, combined with its MEV-resistant architecture, helped it capture significant market share on Ethereum.
The introduction of Banana Pro, a browser-based trading terminal available at pro.bananagun.io, marked a turning point. Unlike Telegram bots that require command-based interaction, Banana Pro offers a customizable dashboard with real-time charts, portfolio tracking, multi-wallet management, and advanced order controls.
“Telegram will always be part of our DNA. It’s fast, it’s accessible, and our users love it,” Daniel added. “But Banana Pro gives traders who want more visibility and control a professional-grade terminal without sacrificing the execution quality they expect from us.”
Multi-Chain Expansion
The platform now supports trading across Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Base, and MegaETH from a single interface. The MegaETH integration, completed on the network’s mainnet launch day, demonstrated Banana Gun’s ability to deploy infrastructure at the speed new chains demand.
Across all networks, Banana Gun maintains consistent security standards:
- MEV-protected transaction routing to prevent front-running
- Pre-trade simulation to detect honeypots and malicious contracts
- Anti-rug technology that monitors for suspicious activity
- Reorg protection against block reorganization attacks
Revenue Sharing Model
Unlike platforms that rely on subscription fees or token inflation, Banana Gun distributes 40% of all trading fees directly to holders of the BANANA token. With weekly platform fees consistently exceeding $90,000, this model has created alignment between the platform’s success and its community.
Token holders receive distributions every four hours, paid in ETH or SOL depending on the chain, with no staking or lockup requirements beyond holding a minimum of 50 BANANA.
Performance at Scale
Banana Gun has processed over $16 billion in lifetime trading volume across more than 24 million trades. On Ethereum, the platform maintains an 88% success rate in competitive first-block sniping, the highest among major trading bots.
Recent weekly performance has shown consistent fee generation between $70,000 and $115,000, with volume distributed across chains based on market activity. During the week of January 8, 2026, the platform recorded seven consecutive weeks of growth, reaching $115,000 in fees.
What Comes Next
The team has signaled continued development on Banana Pro, with additional features planned for 2026 including enhanced copy trading functionality and expanded chain support. Banana Swap, a simplified interface for quick token exchanges, remains in development.
For traders seeking a platform that prioritizes execution quality and security without compromising accessibility, Banana Gun offers both Telegram bots and a full web terminal.
