FAQ
Quick answers to the questions users ask most often about Whale Bot.
A short list of the questions that come up most often. If your question is not here, skim the Troubleshooting page — most operational issues are covered there.
Do I Have to Own the Wallet I'm Watching?
No. Any public address on a supported chain can be watched. That is the whole point — you can follow large wallets, exchange addresses, or project treasuries that have nothing to do with you.
Can the Bot Move Funds From a Watched Wallet?
No. It can only read public on-chain activity. It cannot sign or send transactions.
Why the Three-Watch Limit?
Each watch holds an open real-time subscription to the chain. Capping it at 3 keeps the bot fast and reliable for everyone. You can always rotate watches as your interests change.
Why Is My Alert a Few Seconds Late?
The bot waits briefly (typically under three seconds) to batch transfers together. This keeps you from receiving a burst of separate messages when a wallet moves many tokens at once.
What Chains Are Supported?
Four: Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, and Solana.
Can I Set Separate Thresholds for Incoming vs Outgoing?
Not currently. The threshold applies to the USD value of a transfer in either direction.
Can I Watch More Than One Address at a Time?
Yes — up to 3 watches at a time. Each is independent, with its own nickname, chain, and threshold. Rename related watches with similar prefixes and they will visually cluster in the watches list.
Why Did a Small-Value Token Fire an Alert?
If the token's USD price put the transfer above your threshold at the moment of the trade, the alert fires. Token prices come from public price feeds; illiquid tokens occasionally spike briefly.
What Happens if I Block the Bot?
No more alerts. You will not receive messages until you unblock and send /start again. Your watches are preserved in the meantime.
What Languages Are Supported?
Eight: English, Türkçe, 中文, العربية, Русский, Français, हिन्दी, and فارسی. Language is auto-detected from your Telegram profile and can be changed from ⚙️ Settings → 🌐 Language.
