What it does
BONKbot is a Solana trading bot for Telegram. You paste a token address into a chat and buy it in a couple of taps, with routing handled by Jupiter, Solana's main liquidity aggregator, so you get a sensible price without picking a DEX yourself.
Its reputation is built on being fast and simple. Where Maestro spreads across 14 chains and Banana Gun leans on execution features, BONKbot does one chain properly and keeps the interface small.
Why people use it
- Speed on Solana, with Jupiter-powered routing under the hood.
- A small, learnable interface. There is not much to configure before your first trade.
- Limit orders so you can set a buy or sell price and walk away.
- Trailing stop loss to protect gains without watching the chart.
- Partial fills in thin markets rather than a failed transaction.
- Auto-strats, saved playbooks that run trades for you.
- P&L cards you can screenshot and share.
- Real-time alerts on tokens you follow.

/startto generate your Solana wallet, then export and store the key safely. - Send SOL to the deposit address it gives you.

1% per trade, which is the standard rate across Solana Telegram bots. Referral programmes can reduce the effective rate. Confirm the current fee in the bot before trading size.
Risks worth knowing
BONKbot creates a wallet for you and holds the key, so your funds sit with the bot rather than in a wallet you control. That is the trade-off every Telegram trading bot makes.
- Keep only trading funds in the bot and withdraw profits to your own wallet.
- Export and back up your key, and never paste a seed phrase into any bot.
- Check the handle is
@bonkbot_bot. Clone bots with lookalike usernames exist purely to steal keys. - Solana memecoin trading is high risk and most tokens go to zero.
Behind the app
