BONKbot review: quick verdict

BONKbot is a Solana trading bot for Telegram, paired with Telemetry, a desktop and mobile terminal that uses the same account. It fits traders who want a simple paste-and-buy flow with stronger key protection than most chat bots describe. BONKbot's documentation says private keys are stored encrypted in confidential computing infrastructure, staff cannot access them, its Signer only approves transactions that match a template you confirmed, and 2FA or a passkey guards withdrawals and key export.

Limit orders, trailing stop loss, DCA and Nighthawk sniping cover automation, while Telemetry adds discovery, holder analysis and a wallet tracker. The fee is 1% per successful swap, with 5% to 25% cashback when trading through Telemetry. It has no copy trading and supports Solana only, and its security claims are self-documented rather than backed by a published audit.

Best for

Solana traders who want the simplest Telegram buy and sell flow with strong key security, plus a terminal when they need charts.

Not ideal for

Traders who want automatic copy trading, chains other than Solana, or cashback without using the Telemetry terminal.

What is BONKbot?

BONKbot describes itself as the original Telegram trading bot for Solana, now paired with Telemetry, a desktop and mobile terminal that shares the same account. It is built around fast quick-buys, limit and DCA orders, Nighthawk sniping and a key-management system designed so that nobody, including BONKbot staff, can see your private key.

In Telegram, BONKbot keeps trading to a few taps: paste a contract address, hit a preset buy button, and manage the position from the same message. Around that core sit limit buys including Buy Dip and Buy Breakout, limit sells, trailing stop loss, DCA buys and sells, partial fills, sell protection, configurable slippage and transaction priority, MEV protection, hidden tokens and deep links. Nighthawk is the sniping module with Precision and Speed snipe modes and presets.

Telemetry extends the same wallet to a terminal: token search and discovery, an X-Ray view of holders, a wallet tracker, charts, market stats, a Turbo mode for fast execution, Auto Strat automation, limit orders, portfolio and presets, on desktop and as a mobile app. Fees are 1% per successful swap, and Telemetry pays cashback in SOL that rises from 5% at Iron to 25% at Platinum III based on trailing volume.

The security model is BONKbot's strongest claim. Its Signer is described as a remote, non-custodial setup in which keys are stored encrypted in confidential computing infrastructure and every transaction is checked against a template you approved; the docs state that BONKbot staff do not have access to private keys. Two-factor authentication or a passkey such as Face ID protects withdrawals and key export, and users can back up their private key. BONKbot has no copy-trading module and is Solana-only.

How BONKbot works

Start in Telegram; Telemetry uses the same account when you want a terminal.

  1. 1

    Open BONKbot

    Search Telegram for the official @bonkbot_bot username and press Start. The bot creates an empty Solana wallet for you.

  2. 2

    Secure the wallet

    Enable 2FA or a passkey in Security Config so withdrawals and private-key export need a second factor, and back up the private key.

  3. 3

    Fund it

    Deposit SOL to the wallet address or buy SOL through the in-bot options.

  4. 4

    Trade

    Paste a contract address to get a buy panel, use the preset buttons, and manage the position with limit orders, trailing stops or DCA.

  5. 5

    Snipe or go to Telemetry

    Set up Nighthawk for launch snipes, or open Telemetry on desktop or mobile for charts, discovery, the wallet tracker and Auto Strat.

BONKbot pricing and fees

Is BONKbot safe?

BONKbot's custody model is built so that no one other than you, including BONKbot staff, can see or use your private key: keys live encrypted in confidential computing infrastructure, the Signer only approves transactions matching a template you confirmed, and 2FA or a passkey guards withdrawals and key export.

Custody model
Non-custodial per BONKbot's docs: keys are never visible to BONKbot, Telegram or third parties, and staff have no access to private keys.
Key storage
Stored encrypted, exclusively inside a Confidential Computing Infrastructure; the master key is protected by ordered memory-page access.
Transaction signing
The Signer generates a human-readable description of each transaction and only signs if the request matches a template you approved in Telegram.
Two-factor authentication
2FA or a passkey (for example Face ID) protects SOL withdrawals and private-key export, so a compromised Telegram account alone is not enough.
Key export
Users can back up and export the private key, protected by 2FA.

Verify before depositing

  • You are talking to @bonkbot_bot, the username named in the official docs, and reading docs.bonkbot.io.
  • You have enabled 2FA or a passkey before depositing.
  • You have backed up the private key and tested that the export works.
