Quick Start Guide

Get your Telegram group trading with Sentry Bot in minutes using the Sentry Menu.

Step 1: Add the Bot to Your Group

  1. Open your Telegram group (private group or supergroup)

Step 2: Promote the Bot to Admin

The bot needs admin permissions to read messages and operate correctly.

Step 4: Fund Your Group Wallet

  1. Copy the Group Wallet address from the initialization message

  2. Send SOL from any wallet (Phantom, Solflare, etc.)

  3. Keep a SOL buffer for gas fees

You can view balance from the Balance button in the menu.

Use Telegram's chat menu button to open Sentry Menu.
