Step by step

  1. Open the official botUse t.me/bonkbot_bot from BonkBot's docs. Fake bots copy the name and ask you to deposit SOL; check the username letter by letter.
  2. Back up your walletBonkBot creates a Solana wallet for you. Export the private key once and store it offline. Anyone with it can empty the wallet, so never paste it anywhere else.
  3. Fund it with a small amountSend only what you plan to trade from your main wallet (Phantom, Solflare). Keep the rest in your own wallet or a hardware wallet.
  4. Turn on security firstIn /settings → Security Config: enable 2FA and, if you want, require 2FA for token approvals. Also turn on 2FA in Telegram itself.
  5. Set buttons, slippage and MEVBuy/Sell Buttons Config, Slippage Config, MEV Protect and Transaction Priority, with the values in the table below.
  6. First tradePaste a token's contract address, check the safety lines BonkBot shows (mint authority, freeze authority, LP burnt), then tap a buy button.
  7. Protect the positionLimit → Limit Sell %: a take profit, and a trailing stop loss (BonkBot's example sells 50% if market cap falls to 0.8x of any high).
