Getting Started
Launch Whale Bot on Telegram, set your language, and open the main menu.
This section walks you through opening Whale Bot for the first time, so that you can add your first watch and start receiving transfer alerts within a minute.
Launching the Bot
To begin, find Whale 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.
If the bot is ever unresponsive after an update or outage, send /start again — your watches, thresholds, and nicknames are all persisted, and only the in-progress dialog is reset.
The Main Menu
The main menu is the hub for every interaction. From here you can tap:
- 🐋 My Watches — open the paginated list of wallets you are watching. Tap any entry for details.
- ➕ Add Watch — start watching a new wallet. See Adding a Watch.
- ⚙️ Settings — change your language.
When the list is empty, the bot nudges you toward ➕ Add Watch. Once the first watch is live, every future session opens into the populated list.
Supported Chains
| Chain | Address format | Notes |
|---|---|---|

| BNB Chain | 0x… (40 hex characters) | EVM-compatible. |

The same address can be watched on multiple chains — add it once per chain. Each becomes its own watch and counts separately toward the three-watch limit.
