BonkBot and Telemetry review

BonkBot and Telemetry: one wallet, two interfaces

BonkBot is a non-custodial Solana bot built for fast memecoin trades in Telegram; Telemetry is its web terminal, and both run on the same wallet and settings. We rate the pair 4.4 out of 5.

The split is simple once you see it. Quick buys and sells, basic limit orders and DCA work in both. Stealth DCA, copy trading, Whale tracking and Auto-Strat presets live only in Telemetry, at app.telemetry.io. So the bot is where you fire trades from your phone, and the terminal is where you research, automate and size up.

Every fee feeds a BONK buyback: 100% of fees buy $BONK on the market, 10% of it is burned for good and 10% goes to the BONK DAO.

Is BonkBot legit?

Yes. BonkBot has run since late 2023 and reports more than $13.8 billion in lifetime volume across 519,000+ users. Fee data is documented in the official docs and the BONK buyback can be checked on-chain.

The custody model is clean: AES-256 encrypted keys, passkey support and optional 2FA. External wallets import into the bot and export out of it, and SweepSOL tools sit alongside, so snipes, copies and long holds can live in separate wallets.

BonkBot and Telemetry features

Fast execution sits in the bot; the automation and analytics that make it a full platform sit in Telemetry.

• ⚡ Execution and MEV modes (bot and terminal): Jupiter routing, with MEV Turbo for speed or MEV Secure through Jito to block sandwich attacks.
• 🎯 Event-triggered orders (bot): bundle and single-wallet trades that fire on Dev Buy, Dev Sell or Migration, sized by percentage or token amount.
• 📈 Limit orders and DCA (bot and terminal): price targets with TP/SL, plus configurable DCA.
• 🔔 Price alerts (bot and terminal): market-cap targets, dev buy and sell, and migration alerts.
• 🕵️ Stealth DCA (Telemetry only): splits a buy into separate transactions so the accumulation doesn't show.
• 🦅 Nighthawk sniping engine (bot): BonkBot's high-speed sniper, with Speed or Precision mode and Jito Turbo or Secure routing.
• 👥 Copy trading (Telemetry only): mirrors wallets automatically.
• 🐋 Whale Moves feed (Telemetry only): live feed of significant wallet activity across Solana.
• 🔎 Flash Wallet Scanner (Telemetry only): hover a wallet to see its recent trades, spot bundles and add it to a tracker list.
• 📊 Hover charts: hover a token name for a live TradingView chart with quick buy, sell and limit-order lines.
• 🤖 Auto-Strat presets (Telemetry only): ready-made TP/SL combinations for hands-off exits.
• 💰 Level-Up Rewards: up to 25% of fees back by volume, plus referral payouts.
• 💳 MoonPay and USDC: buy SOL with Apple Pay or Google Pay in the bot, swap to USDC, and let gas top-ups run automatically.

On top of that, Telemetry carries a gas optimizer, portfolio PnL, alpha alert feeds, a strategy simulator, a Token Incinerator that burns part of the fee into a token you pick, and cross-device sync. The walkthrough below shows the launchpad dashboard and its filters.

BonkBot strengths and missing features

Speed, a real terminal and fee rebates on one side; Solana-only and automation locked in Telemetry on the other.

The split is the friction experienced traders feel: snipes fire from Telegram through Nighthawk, but copy trading and Stealth DCA need a Telemetry tab open beside it.

Where BonkBot trades on Solana

Everything routes through Jupiter plus direct connections to Solana's main liquidity sources, so the bot takes whichever path fills better.

• Raydium: standard AMM, CLMM and LaunchLab pools.
• Orca: concentrated liquidity with deep major pairs.
• Meteora: DLMM and Dynamic Bonding Curve pools.
• Jupiter: aggregator routing for best-price fills.
• Pump.fun: full launchpad support, including Mayhem Mode for volatile launches.
• HEAVEN: launchpad with X-RAY filters, launch stats and Whale Moves tracking.
• LFJ Token Mill: live in the bot and Telemetry, with X-RAY and Discovery filters and safe-routed buys.
• Moonshot: bonding-curve tokens before they reach a DEX.

That coverage pays off on memecoin launches: when a token migrates from Pump.fun to Raydium, BonkBot routes through Jupiter or straight to the DEX, depending on which gives the better fill.

How to fund BonkBot and link Telemetry

Six steps from first message to a tracked position.

1. Start the bot. Open BonkBot in Telegram; it generates a non-custodial wallet on first use. Want an existing wallet? Import it straight into the bot.
2. Fund it. Send SOL for trades and gas, or buy SOL in the bot with Apple Pay or Google Pay through MoonPay. Prefer to sit in stables? Swap to USDC in the app; gas top-ups run in the background.
3. Find a token. Paste a contract from Pump.fun, DEXScreener, Birdeye or Meteora, or use Telemetry's Discovery module. Run X-RAY first for a security and liquidity scan.
4. Pick the trade type. Market buy, limit order with TP/SL, or an Auto-Strat preset in Telemetry. Add price alerts for market-cap targets, dev moves or migration.
5. Set the execution. Check slippage, the gas tier (75%, 95% or 99%) and the MEV mode before you confirm. Higher tiers land more often in congestion.
6. Track and adjust. Follow positions in Telemetry's Portfolio tab or the bot's PnL view, move limit orders, add trailing stops, and switch MEV mode as conditions change.

Trading strategies that suit BonkBot

The edge comes from pairing the bot's speed with Telemetry's data.

• 🎯 Migration sniping: Auto Buy fires the moment a token moves from Pump.fun to Raydium, while you watch the Whale Moves feed for confirmation.
• 🕵️ Quiet accumulation: Stealth DCA spreads a large buy over separate transactions, so mempool watchers don't see a concentrated entry to front-run.
• 🐋 Following Whales: spot concentrated buying in Whale Moves, check the wallet with the Flash Wallet Scanner, then copy it in Telemetry if the record holds.
• ⚡ New launchpads: filter HEAVEN and LFJ Token Mill launches with X-RAY and the launchpad filter before you buy; lock in the HEAVEN token filter to catch launches like $LIGHT from the first block.
• 📈 Chart-first entries: hover the token name to open the TradingView overlay, check structure and where your limit lines sit, then buy from the overlay without switching tabs.
• 📊 Laddered exits: partial-fill limit orders plus a trailing stop let you stay in a strong runner without riding it all the way back down.

In crowded launch windows, MEV Secure routes through Jito's whitelisted validators, so you keep sandwich protection while competing for the block. Size every snipe as money you can lose: the tooling protects execution, not the token.

BonkBot security, wallet import and SweepSOL

Keys are AES-256 encrypted on your device, the bot never takes custody, and you can export the wallet at any time.

• Account protection: passkeys and 2FA in Telemetry.
• Token checks: X-RAY flags freeze authority and mint authority before you buy, so you don't buy into a contract that can lock or dilute you.
• Execution control: an auto-approve toggle decides whether trades fire without manual confirmation.

What stays with you is market risk: no scan saves a token that simply goes to zero, and Solana congestion can still fail transactions at peak launches. The three gas tiers help; they don't remove it. The Investopedia overview of Solana is a useful primer on why. Keep snipes, copies and holds in separate imported wallets, so one bad launch never drains the whole stack.
