A terminal bot for trading memecoins.
the trenches (n.) — where memecoins launch, run and die by the minute: the fastest and riskiest corner of crypto.
trencher (n.) — "someone who spends a lot of time hunting and trading newly launched meme coins in the 'trenches'—the high-risk, high-volatility part of crypto." — ChatGPT
This is their terminal.
- Robinhood Chain — Uniswap V3 and V4, pons.family launches, and Flaunch launches
- Solana — pump.fun bonding curves and PumpSwap AMM
- Base, BNB Chain, Hyperliquid — next
- Keys stay on your machine, in a password-encrypted keystore
- One set of shortcuts, from one file — the app, the docs and the website cannot disagree about them
- A PnL calendar that remembers what each day made
macOS and Linux:
curl -fsSL https://trenches.sh/install | shInstall fetches the build for your machine, checks it against the release's
SHA256SUMS, and puts trenches in ~/.local/bin.
Windows: download the .zip from Releases and unzip it.
Prefer to do it yourself? Every binary is on the releases page with its checksum. Verify before you run it — that is true of anything you download, and doubly so of something that holds keys.
TRENCHES_VERSION=v0.1.0 curl -fsSL https://trenches.sh/install | sh
TRENCHES_BIN_DIR=/usr/local/bin curl -fsSL https://trenches.sh/install | shTrenches is in beta. It signs real transactions against real chains with real money, and it has bugs we have not found yet.
Every release is signed. The installer and trenches --update check the
signature against a key built into the binary and refuse anything that does not
match, so there is nothing to do by hand — but the key is here so you can.

sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missingSHA256SUMS.asc is a GPG signature over the same file, for anyone who prefers
that path.

Use it, modify it, redistribute it, run it yourself. If you modify Trenches and offer it to other people as a network service, the AGPL asks you to publish your changes to those users — a hosted fork gives its improvements back rather than taking them private. Running it on your own machine asks nothing of you.
Services built around Trenches — hosted RPCs, analytics, AI models — are independent services reached over an API. They carry their own licenses. The AGPL covers the bot, not what is on the other side of a network call.

Trenches is a tool, not advice. What you trade with it is your decision and your risk.
