Telegram bot

What it does

The bot is one shared account operated by Diggers. You never create your own bot or touch a token from BotFather. The platform's only job is the wallet-verified first link — after that, everything is managed inside your Telegram group. Three features, all optional:

• Buy alerts. Every buy on the pool posts to your group within seconds: your GIF, an emoji row that scales with the buy size, the USD and ETH amounts, tokens received, the buyer, the market cap and holder count, plus TX and chart links. You can arm up to three GIFs — one each for small, normal and huge buys (defaults: normal from $100, huge from $1000, thresholds tunable) — and empty slots fall back to the normal one. Alerts come straight from our indexer — the same pipeline that powers the site — so external-router buys (Uniswap, aggregators) show up too.
• Raid mode. An admin posts /raidwith an X link and the group goes read-only around a pinned raid card with a live "I raided" counter. End it on a timer, by hand, or automatically when the post hits like/repost goals.
• Join gate.New members are muted until they tap a button proving they're human. No tap within two minutes and they're removed (free to retry). Bot armies never get to post.

Setting it up

The setup is group-first, on your coin's settings → Telegram bot page. Right after a launch the coin page offers it to you, and the Add Telegram Bot to Group button above the buy box gets you there any time. A short wizard walks you through anti-spam, buy alerts and raids, then the connect step: add the bot to your group — it joins quietly and posts a pairing code that identifies that exact group (/pair mints a fresh one; codes expire in 30 minutes). Paste the code in the wizard and sign one free message (no transaction, no gas).

That signature is the whole security model: it covers your token, the chain, the exact group (id and name), the pairing code and a fingerprint of every starting setting. Nothing is written before you sign, nothing in the request can be swapped in flight, and a stolen pairing code is useless — binding a group requires a wallet that controls the coin. It's also the lasttime the site touches your bot at all: once it's live in a group, the server rejects every further signature for that coin — no re-binding, no setting rewrites, nothing. Your group link shows publicly on the coin page, and everything is configured in Telegram. Want to move or remove the bot? Kick it from the group — it unlinks itself, and a fresh pairing (settings untouched) becomes possible again.

Once the signature lands, the bot announces itself in the group and buy alerts are live. Promote it to admin (with "restrict members" and "delete messages") to unlock raid mode and the join gate — buy alerts work without admin rights.

Commands for everyone

Any member of the group — not just admins — can ask the bot for live data straight from our indexer, rate-limited to once a minute per group so it can't be spammed:

• /price — the current price in USD.
• /mc — the market cap.
• /holders — how many diggers are holding.
• /ca — the contract address, tap-to-copy.
• /help — every command explained in one card (admins see the management toolbox appended).

The admin toolbox

Group admins manage everything else without leaving the chat. Management commands are admin-only — the bot checks with Telegram before acting, and anonymous admins work too:

• /settings — a live control room that explains every option, with buttons that toggle alerts and the join gate and step the emoji, dollars-per-emoji, max emojis and minimum buy on tap.
• /setgif — reply to any GIF with this command and it becomes the normal alert GIF; /setgif small and /setgif huge arm the other two slots, and /tiers 100 1000 sets the USD thresholds between them.
• /setemoji 🟢, /setstep 50, /minbuy 10 — emoji, dollars per emoji, minimum buy.
• /verify on|off — the join gate.
• /raid <x-link> and /endraid — raid mode (below).
• /pair — mints a fresh pairing code during setup (codes expire in 30 minutes; useless without a wallet that controls the coin).

Website edits and Telegram edits write to the same settings, so the coin page panel always shows the current state.

Raid mode, three ways

Every raid locks the group read-only, pins a card with the target post and a click counter, and unmutes when it ends:

• Timed — /raid <link> 15m. The group unmutes automatically when the timer runs out.
• Manual — /raid <link>. Muted until an admin sends /endraid or taps the End button.
• Auto — /raid <link> likes:100 rts:50. The bot checks the post's public metrics every minute and ends the raid with a victory card when every goal is hit.

Why not a third-party bot?

Privacy & cost

The bot runs with Telegram's privacy mode on: it never receives normal chat messages — only commands, join events, and button taps. It can't read your group's conversation. There is no fee, no premium tier, no token requirement: if you launched the coin on Diggers, the bot is yours. It works only for Diggers-native coins — rescued and external tokens can't bind one.
