Okay, look. Most guides out there treat BonkBot like some rocket science project. They ramble on about "integrating with exchanges" or "API keys from CEXes" - total BS. BonkBot's a pure Solana sniper bot. No exchanges. No logins. It spins up its own wallet right in Telegram. That's the magic. Skip that junk, and you're golden. I usually just tell friends: search the bot, fund it, paste a CA. Boom. Trading.
Why does this matter? 'Cause if you're pasting token addresses from Pump.fun or Raydium, you wanna snipe fast - not fiddle with Phantom connections or some centralized crap. In my experience, newbies waste hours on wrong setups. Not you. Not today.
Super simple. Download Telegram if you don't have it - iOS, Android, desktop, whatever. Fire it up.
Hit that search bar. Type bonkbotbot. Or just tap this link in your browser: t.me/bonkbotbot. It'll yank you straight in.
That's it for init. Two minutes tops. Sound familiar? Like adding any Telegram bot.
Now the fun part. No balance? No trades. Head to your main Solana wallet - Phantom, Backpack, whatever you got.
Send some SOL. Start small, like 0.1 SOL for testing. Fees are tiny: expect ~0.000005 SOL per tx. Network gas? Solana's cheap, but during pumps, it spikes a hair.
Pro tip: I always send from Phantom 'cause it's quick. But watch for Solana congestion - if tx fails, retry or wait. Happened to me last pump; annoying but fixed in a min.
Don't skip this. Defaults are okay, but customize or you'll eat slippage losses. Hit Settings from the main menu (/start brings it up).
First: Announcements. Turn off. Spam.
Auto Buy? Hell no for beginners. Paste a CA to check MCAP, not buy blind. I leave it disabled. If you enable, set tiny amount like 0.01 SOL.
Now the meat: Buy/Sell Buttons Config.
| Setting | My Go To | Why? |
|---|---|---|
| Buy Amounts | 0.1, 0.5, 1 SOL | Scales for quick snipes. Quick buys without typing. |
| Sell % | 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% | Lock profits fast. Memecoins moon then dump. |
| Slippage (Buy) | 15-20% | New launches? High slip. Failed tx? Bump to 25%. |
| Slippage (Sell) | 20% | Slightly higher for exits. Protects from rugs. |
| Max Price Impact | Default or 10% | Too high = sandwich attacks. Eat your gains. |
Adjust in settings. Tap buttons to edit. For sells, Protect Mode - enables if you set it. Sells only if price above buy in by X%. Newbies: 20%. Failed sells? Raise slippage slow.
Hit Close. Settings saved. Test with a tiny buy later.
Main menu: Buy.
Fees? 1% trade fee (0.5% buy, 0.5% sell) + tiny priority fee you set in advanced. Total: ~0.3% effective sometimes. Worth it for speed.
Issue? "Insufficient funds"? Check balance. "Failed tx"? Up slippage in settings, retry. Network busy? Wait 30s.
In my experience, first buy always feels sketch. But paste a solid CA like a new BONK launcher - watch it 2x. Addictive.
Holdin' bags? Manage Positions from /start.
Shows everything:
Short para on PnL: Green? Profit. Red? Uh oh. Tap Close for full sell, or % buttons for partial. Bot handles it. Confirms tx hash - click to explorer.
What's next? Watch that PnL live. Refresh often during pumps.
Sells mirror buys. From Manage: pick token > sell buttons.
But here's the kicker - Turbo Sell in advanced settings. Bumps priority fee for front running dumps. Costs extra ~0.001 SOL, but snags top of block.
Common screwup: Low slippage on exit. Price slips 30%, you get rekt. Always preview in Manage. I usually sell 50% at 2x, trail the rest.
Closed position? Back to zero. Clean.
Back to Settings: Auto Sell. Set triggers like "sell 100% at 5x" or "trail stop at -20%". Game changer for sleep trading.
Enable MEV Protect if it's there - fights sandwich bots. On by default mostly.
Okay, you're hooked. Level up.
Quick Buy Buttons: Customize for your style. I set 0.05 for snipes, 1 SOL for convictions.
Referrals: Hit Referrals button. Get your link: t.me/bonkbotbot?start=refYOURCODE. Share, earn 10% of their fees forever. Passive SOL.
Paste with deep link: t.me/bonkbotbot?start=refYOURCODEcaTOKENCA. Auto opens buy for that token. Slick for groups.
Portfolio View: Multiple positions? Manage shows all. Sort by PnL. Close losers quick.
Gas tweaks: In settings, priority fees. Low: free ish. High: ~0.0005 SOL for speed. During alpha hunts? Crank it.
Tokens per wallet? One main. But bot supports multi? Nah, single for now. Drain to Phantom via withdraw if needed (Settings > Withdraw).
Shit hits fan? Here's the list.
Honestly, 90% is slippage/network. Tweak and go. Telegram support? Nah, docs or community chats.
I wake up, check Dexscreener hot pairs. Copy CA under 1M MCAP, good liq. Paste in BonkBot. Buy 0.5 SOL if vibes.
Monitor in Manage. At 3x, sell 50%. Trail. Rinse. Made 10x on a few last month. Losses? Cut 'em.
Why BonkBot over web apps? Telegram notifications ping you. Trade from bed. No seed phrase paranoia - bot holds keys securely.
Scale up: Use ref links in Discords. Fees stack.
Real talk. Bot's non custodial - your keys, your coins. But Telegram? Hacked account = bad. 2FA it.
No drainers here. Official bot only. Fake ones steal. Verify: bonkbot_bot, site bonkbot.io.
Risks: Memecoins rug. Impermanent loss none - pure spot. Taxes? Track tx hashes yourself.
Start with 0.1 SOL. Build confidence. Pretty much foolproof once tuned.
