What Are The Top 5 Telegram Trading Bots? 

Based on lifetime trading volume, the top 5 Telegram trading bots are Trojan, BONKbot, Maestro, Banana Gun, and SolTradingBot. 

Key Takeaways

• Telegram trading bots connect to your wallet and help users to automate trading functions such as copy trading, liquidity sniping, and executing limit orders.

• Telegram bots streamline the decentralized crypto trading process, removing the complexities of connecting web3 wallets and connecting to dApps, as everything takes place on the Telegram bot.

• While convenient, trading bots may expose users to additional smart contract and custodial risks.

Introduction To Telegram Trading Bots 

Telegram trading bots were introduced to the crypto space in 2024, bringing accessibility and convenience to traders by helping them to automate their trades. Telegram trading bots connect to decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges, and execute trades based on predefined rules. Users can easily set up their Telegram bots by visiting the official website or X account, opening the trading bot in Telegram, and entering commands in the chat.

Based on data from Dune, the average daily trading volume of DEX bots is around $61.7 million, with around 52 thousand daily active users.

While different bots have slightly differing functions, most bots generally execute the same basic trades, and operate as a hot wallet, where users need to deposit funds before they can engage in trades.

Common Features of Telegram Trading Bots

• Buy / Sell: Buy and sell tokens through a Telegram bot. Auto Buy lets you buy tokens by simply pasting the token address based on your set parameters, while Auto Sell will sell your tokens when limit sell orders are reached. 

• Copy Trading: Copy the trades of any wallet based on your preferred parameters.

• Limit Orders: Set the trigger price for the bot to automatically buy and sell tokens on your behalf. This can be based on percentage change, a specific price, or market cap. 

• DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging): Enter intervals at which to buy the token (minutes, hours, days). 

• Sniper: Snipers let you set parameters to snipe newly launched tokens. 

• MEV-Protection: This feature ensures that your transactions will be private and cannot be detected to be frontrun by MEV bots.

• Multi Wallet: You can generate multiple wallets on some Telegram bots to manage different strategies.

• Anti-Rug / Honeypot Features: Anti-Rug features are intended to protect users from rug pulls, and can range from identifying whether Mint and Freeze contracts are revoked, or even attempt to frontrun identified potential rug pull transactions.

• Token Transfers: Transfer your tokens to an external wallet. Some bots only allow you to transfer specific tokens (like SOL) out of the Telegram bot.

In this article, let us look at the top 5 most popular Telegram trading bots based on their 7 day trading volume, and each bot's different features. 

Trojan: The Largest Telegram Trading Bot

Trojan on Solana is a Telegram trading bot on Solana, and has since grown to become the largest player in the space, with a lifetime volume of almost $23.4 billion and over 1.7 million total users. While using Trojan on Solana is free, it charges a fee of 0.9% with a referral or 1% without for every successful transaction. 

Trojan on Solana has a strong referral program to incentivize users to share the bot with their network. Referrals get 10% off their fees, while referrers receive a reward (a % of their referrals’ fees). Here’s a quick overview of how the referral program works:

These rewards are paid out daily to users’ trading wallets, although custom wallets can also be set up. To date, over 362,000 SOL ($65.8 million) in rewards have been paid out according to the project.

Features

Trojan on Solana offers two modes: Simple or Advanced. Under Settings you can toggle on features like MEV protection, Auto Buy, Auto Sell, select your priority fee, and generate up to 10 wallets. 

Simple: This interface is straightforward, focusing on easy maneuvering for fast swaps. Users can buy, sell, withdraw, and check their positions. 

Advanced: This mode offers more features, including limit and DCA orders, copy trading, and snipers.When sniping, users can also set parameters to protect themselves from rug pulls, like ensuring sniped tokens have their Mint and Freeze authority revoked, or add suspicious tokens and developers to a blacklist. 

Trojan also allows users to access the latest token launches directly on the bot through Trenches. Additional features include enabling users to bridge ETH to SOL and vice versa through the addresses generated on the Telegram bot.

BONKbot: Telegram Bot Linked to the BONK Ecosystem

BONKbot took off partly because of its ties to BONK, a dog-themed memecoin. However, it’s grown to become a major Telegram trading bot, only second to Trojan. According to Dune, it boasts $13.8 billion in lifetime volume, and over 519,000 total users. Like Trojan, BONKbot is also designed for the Solana blockchain. 

BONKbot’s routing is powered by Jupiter, allowing BONKbot to find the best available prices for tokens across DEXs on Solana.

There is a charge of 1% fees on every successful swap transaction.

BONKbot’s referral program allows users to earn 30% of their referrals’ fees in the first month, 20% in the second, and 10% forever. 

Features

On BONKbot’s intuitive interface, you can easily choose trading options from buying tokens, funding your wallet, and setting DCA and limit orders. Under Settings,  you’ll be able to toggle on Auto Buy, set your slippage, select your MEV protection levels, and set your priority fees.

BONKbot also makes it easy for users to fund their wallet with SOL by buying SOL with Apple / Google Pay through MoonPay. 

It is worth noting that unlike other Telegram bots, BONKbot does not currently have a Sniper that will snipe a liquidity pool on launch at time of writing, although the release of Nighthawk will change that. As a workaround, users can use the Auto Buy feature, where pasting a contract address will initiate an auto buy. 

Also, BONKbot only allows users to create one wallet address per Telegram account. If you want multiple BONKbot wallets, you will need to create another Telegram account. 

Maestro: One of the Earliest Telegram Trading Bots

Launched in 2022, the Maestro sniper bot is one of the earliest bots in the market. It supports multiple chains, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, Tron, TON, and Base. Based on data from Dune, Maestro is the third most popular bot, with $12.8 billion lifetime volume, and over 573,000 users.

While using the Maestro bot is free, it charges a 1% tax on every successful buy and sell transaction.

Maestro also provides a paid premium subscription to use a more advanced version of the bot, ‘Maestro Premium’, which will cost users $200 a month. According to the website, the subscription is meant for hardcore users and advanced day traders. The subscription gives users faster speeds, allows users to make more concurrent trades, exclusive access to token indicators, and more.

Features

The Maestro sniper bot also has extensive features such as anti-rug, method, liquidity, and launch sniping, along with features like Copy Trade and Signals, where users can access a list of Telegram call channels and activate to auto buy on received signals. 

Maestro also has an anti-rug feature, which protects users from potential rug pulls by attempting to frontrun any suspicious transactions. However, this may come with higher gas fees in order to maximize frontrunning chances.

One of the more unique features of the Maestro sniper bot is the ability to contribute to presales on PinkSale quickly. When trying to contribute to a presale, it is often a battle to contribute quickly before the presale reaches its hard cap, and many will resort to paying high gas fees to ensure a contribution. 

For base users, Maestro offers five total wallets and five snipes per chain, while premium users get 10 total wallets and 10 concurrent auto-snipes per chain. 

Banana Gun: Solana and EVM Trading Bots

Banana Gun offers a Solana Bot and an EVM Bot, with a webapp (Banana Pro) to be launched soon. Based on data from Dune, Banana Gun is the fourth most popular bot, with almost $11.4 billion in lifetime volume, and over 502,000 users. 

Banana Gun charges a 1% sniping fee, and 0.5% for manual trades.

Features

The Banana Gun telegram bot offers features like copy trading (only on Solana), auto sniping, and limit orders. However, it does not offer auto buy, although auto sniping still allows you to buy new tokens at launch. On the EVM bot, users can also easily bridge and transfer tokens.

Banana Gun also offers MEV-resistant swaps, scam protection (if Banana simulator cannot simulate a successful sell) and anti-rug protection, which detects and frontruns contract changes that could make tokens unsellable. 

Native Token

Banana bot's token is BANANA, and the bot offers automated rebates (determined by the multiplier x volume) through the token when users trade through the bot. Token holders can also claim rewards on the Banana Gun dApp after meeting the criteria of owning 50 BANANA.

The BANANA token can be burnt for in-bot credits to unlock bonus perks, such as activating +5 wallets for 8.03 credits a month. The team promises that they will not gate key features of the bot behind the Banana Credit System, and are instead catering to a niche group of users who are looking for such features. 

SolTradingBot: Special Fee Offers for Select Tokens

Rounding up the top five, we have SolTradingBot, with a lifetime volume of $4.4 billion and over 1.2 million users. As the name suggests, SolTradingBot is designed for the Solana network, and it integrates with all DEXs on Solana. SolTradingBot charges a trading fee of 1%, although it has a special fee offer for MYRO, BONK, WIF, JUP, and WEN, where no fees are charged.

SolTradingBot has an attractive referral program as well, where users will receive 30% commission for each transaction using their referral link. 

Features

SolTradingBot offers features like trading, sniping, copy trading, auto buys and sells, along with limit and DCA orders.

Risks of Using Telegram Crypto Trading Bots

When you first start using Telegram cryptocurrency bots, you will need to connect your wallet to the bot so that the bot can execute trades on your behalf. However, this means that the bot has access to private keys and might pose a security risk.

While the bots usually claim to delete your private keys after the bots are configured, we have no sure way of knowing if your keys have been deleted. As such, we should take note of the possible security tradeoffs they might pose. To be safe, if you are using Telegram bots, you might want to connect a separate wallet to the bot and only transfer in an amount you intend to use to trade.

With copy trading becoming a more popular feature, users should be aware that following the trades of a previously successful trader does not guarantee future profits. This also potentially opens them up to liquidity risk, where there is insufficient market liquidity to execute trades. 

Final Thoughts

Telegram trading bots have cemented their role in the crypto landscape by streamlining the trading process for functions like copy trading and liquidity sniping. In this guide, we’ve covered the top bots – BONKbot, Maestro, Banana Gun, and SolTradingBot – each presenting a unique combination of features, fees, and supported blockchains. As seen in the chart below, while usage has normalized since its peak in early 2025, these tools remain a fixture for traders seeking to automate trading on the go.

Ultimately, the best bot depends entirely on your individual trading needs and preferences. However, it is critical to weigh the convenience against the inherent security trade-offs. Before proceeding, you are advised to use a separate wallet for transacting with Telegram bots, funded only with what you are willing to risk, ensuring you are protected from potential smart contract and custodial vulnerabilities.
