# Getting Started

> Launch Wallet Bot on Telegram, set your language, and open the main menu.

This section walks you through opening **Wallet Bot** for the first time, so that you can add your first *portfolio* and start watching a wallet within a minute.

## Launching the Bot

To begin, find **Wallet Bot** on Telegram and tap **Start** (or send **`/start`**). The bot will reply with a welcome message and the main menu.

On first contact the bot picks up your language automatically from your Telegram profile. It supports *English*, *Türkçe*, *中文*, *العربية*, *Русский*, *Français*, *हिन्दी*, and *فارسی*. You can switch at any time from **⚙️ Settings → 🌐 Language**.

> **INFO**
>
> If the bot ever appears unresponsive after an update or outage, send **`/start`** again — your portfolios, alerts, pins, and display preferences are all persisted, and only the in-progress dialog is reset.

## The Main Menu

The main menu is where everything starts. From here you can tap:

- **➕ Add Portfolio** — start tracking a new wallet. See [Adding a Wallet](/docs/wallet/adding-a-wallet).
- **⚙️ Settings** — change your language or review your options.

Once you have added one or more portfolios, they appear above these buttons as a paginated list. Tap any entry to open its detail view, where you can view balances, rename the portfolio, or remove it.

## Supported Chains

| Chain         | Address format                                | Notes                                 |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| *Ethereum*    | `0x…` (40 hex characters)                     | EVM-compatible.                       |
| *Base*        | `0x…` (40 hex characters)                     | EVM-compatible.                       |
| *BNB Chain*   | `0x…` (40 hex characters)                     | EVM-compatible.                       |
| *Solana*      | Base58 string (32–44 characters)              | Non-EVM — some EVM-only features do not apply. |

The same wallet address can appear on multiple chains. If you want to track it on more than one, simply add it once per chain — each entry becomes its own portfolio with its own PnL and display preferences.
