What the bot stores, what it never asks for, and what a watched address lets it do.
Whale Bot works exclusively from public on-chain data. Adding a wallet to a watch is no different, in principle, from looking that wallet up on a block explorer — the bot simply does it continuously and pings you the moment something interesting happens.
What the Bot Stores
For each user, the bot keeps:
- Your Telegram user ID, so the bot can send you messages.
- Your detected or chosen language.
- The up-to-3 watches you have added: chain, address, nickname, USD threshold.
- A log of recent transfer events that have already triggered alerts, so restarts do not cause the same transfer to be alerted twice.
What the Bot Does Not Store
- Private keys or seed phrases — the bot never asks for them and never accepts them. If anyone or anything pretending to be the bot ever asks, it is not us.
- Your Telegram messages outside of the commands you send to this bot.
- Any authority over the watched wallets. The bot cannot send transactions, sign messages, or move funds.
What a Watched Address Allows
With a watched address, the bot can:
- Read public transfer events involving that address.
- Look up the USD value of each transfer against public price sources.
- Alert you when a transfer's value crosses your threshold.
It cannot sign anything, move anything, or observe any private activity — there is no private activity on a public chain.
Treat nicknames as metadata you control
The nickname you give a watch is visible only to you inside this bot, but it is stored alongside the wallet address in the bot's database. Avoid real names, account numbers, or anything you would not want kept as metadata — use a short, memorable label instead.
Where Data Lives
All of the above is stored on the bot's server. It does not include anything that could authenticate you anywhere other than this bot's own conversation. If you want your data removed, remove your watches through the bot's UI — this clears the per-watch records completely.
