Setting it up

From zero to a working bot, in a DM and in your group.

There is no account, no sign-up, no wallet connect and no configuration file. Setup is opening a chat, and — if you want it in a group — tapping a few switches once.

1. Start it in a DM

Open @DigitalDonAnalyzeBot and hit Start, or send /start.

You get a short welcome, an example, and an ➕ Add me to a group button. That's the whole onboarding.

2. Scan something

/don BONK

Ticker, name or contract address — all three work. A few seconds later you get a chart image and the analysis card.

In a private chat you can skip the command entirely. Paste a contract address or a ticker on its own and the bot analyses it. /don is only strictly required in groups, where the bot has to know the message is meant for it.

Under the card there are two optional buttons — 📣 Social Sentiment and 👥 Holder Analysis. They only run when you tap them, because each one costs real upstream budget. See Holder analysis and Social sentiment.

3. Add it to a group

Tap ➕ Add me to a group from /start, or add @DigitalDonAnalyzeBot the normal Telegram way.

The moment it joins, it posts a setup card by itself. No command needed, at any point.

The card is a short explainer plus a checklist:

• ✅ added to the group

• ✅ admin rights — with a 🔄 Check admin rights button while that one is still open

Then one tap per switch.

Why it asks for admin rights. Under Telegram's privacy mode, a bot that isn't an admin never receives ordinary group messages — only commands aimed directly at it. Auto-scan literally cannot see a pasted address without admin. That's a Telegram rule, not a permission grab; the bot doesn't act on anything but messages containing a contract address.

Without admin, /don and the other commands still work perfectly. You just lose auto-scan.

4. The three group switches

Setting	Default	What it does
🔍 Auto-scan	on	A contract address pasted in the group gets answered with a short card
🃏 PNL cards	on	/pnl <contract> renders call cards here
🏆 Leaderboard	on	/lb renders the group's caller leaderboard here

Every switch is admin-only. A non-admin tapping one is told so and nothing changes.

Auto-scan answers only tokens with enough chart history for a real analysis; fresh launches are passed over, and that is not a group setting — it's reserved for the bot owner, because all groups draw on one shared API budget.

5. Done

Once you're finished, the card collapses to a single ⚙️ Settings button so it isn't taking up space in the chat forever.

Admins can reopen it any time with /setup. If you prefer typing, /autoscan on|off still works.

What "off" actually means

Every switch is genuinely off, not "off with a notice". A group that turns PNL cards off doesn't get an explanation when someone runs /pnl — that explanation would be exactly the bot output the admin just declined. Same for the leaderboard, same for auto-scan.

The one thing no switch touches: /don always answers. The settings govern what the bot says on its own initiative, never what it does when it's asked directly.
