Every Trading Bot Compared, With the Date of Each Check
Last verified: October 17, 2026. Baseline check against official docs on August 11; every cell re-checked since carries its own date. Rows added since August: Pump.fun (October 17). The badges tell you the proof level: verified in-app means we counted it ourselves inside the app, per docs means official documentation is the source.
The custody fact nobody leads with: every Telegram trading bot creates a wallet that lives on the bot's servers.
That protects your personal wallet (there is no wallet-connect step; some bots let you import a wallet by pasting its private key, and if you do, import a dedicated trading wallet, never your main one), but everything you deposit depends on the bot's infrastructure.
Two major bots have been exploited and both refunded users in full, which is better than most of DeFi, but the rule stands: only deposit what you actively trade. Full breakdown on the safety page.

New tools the week they launch. The settings and fees that quietly cost you money. Alpha I would tell a friend.
