Bloom is a Telegram-based trading bot for Solana that has built a reputation for having one of the cleanest, most beginner-friendly interfaces in the space. While most Telegram trading bots cram dozens of features into cramped message layouts, Bloom takes a different approach — a structured, visual interface inside Telegram that makes buying and selling tokens straightforward even if you have never used an on-chain trading bot before.
This guide walks through everything you need to get started with Bloom, from initial setup to advanced features like auto-sell triggers and copy trading.
What Is Bloom
Bloom is a Telegram bot that lets you trade Solana tokens directly from a Telegram chat. You paste a token contract address, tap a button, and the bot executes the swap on-chain through Raydium, Jupiter, or other Solana DEXs. No browser needed, no wallet popups, no manual transaction signing.
The core value of Telegram trading bots is speed and convenience. Instead of opening a DEX website, connecting a wallet, entering amounts, approving transactions, and waiting for confirmations, you do everything in a chat interface with preset buttons. For memecoin trading where seconds can matter, this simplification is the entire point.
Bloom stands out from other Telegram bots primarily through its interface design. Where most bots present walls of text with tiny inline buttons, Bloom uses structured layouts with clear visual hierarchy, making it easier to see your positions, understand what you are about to do, and avoid expensive mistakes.
Getting Started
Finding and Starting the Bot
- Open Telegram and search for the official Bloom bot. Make sure you are using the verified bot — check for the official username and verification badge. Scam bots that impersonate popular trading bots are common on Telegram.
- Tap "Start" to initialize the bot.
- Bloom will walk you through the initial setup process.
Creating a Wallet
When you first start Bloom, it generates a new Solana wallet for you. This happens automatically — the bot creates a keypair and presents you with the wallet address.
Critical step: Back up your private key. Bloom will show you the private key or recovery phrase for your new wallet. Write this down and store it somewhere secure and offline. If you lose access to Telegram or the bot goes down, this key is the only way to recover your funds.
You can also import an existing wallet by providing its private key. However, most traders create a dedicated bot wallet and fund it separately from their main holdings. This limits your exposure — if anything goes wrong with the bot, only the funds in the bot wallet are at risk.
Funding Your Wallet
Copy your Bloom wallet address and send SOL to it from your main wallet (Phantom, Solflare, or any other Solana wallet). You need SOL both for buying tokens and for paying transaction fees.
Start small. Fund the wallet with 0.5 to 2 SOL while you learn the interface. You can always add more later.
Buying Tokens
The buying process in Bloom is designed to be as fast as possible.
Quick Buy
- Paste a contract address: Copy the token's mint address from DexScreener, Birdeye, Twitter, or any other source. Paste it into the Bloom chat.
- Bloom displays token info: The bot shows you the token name, ticker, current price, market cap, liquidity, and other relevant data. Review this before buying.
- Select a buy amount: Bloom presents preset buy buttons (e.g., 0.1 SOL, 0.5 SOL, 1 SOL, 5 SOL) plus a custom amount option. Tap the amount you want to spend.
- Transaction executes: Bloom submits the swap transaction on-chain. You receive a confirmation with the transaction details — tokens received, price paid, and a link to the transaction on the explorer.
The entire process from pasting an address to having tokens in your wallet takes a few seconds under normal network conditions.
Buy Settings
Before buying, you can configure several settings that apply to all purchases:
- Slippage tolerance: How much price movement you are willing to accept between submitting the transaction and it landing on-chain. For liquid tokens, 1% to 5% is standard. For volatile memecoins or tokens with thin liquidity, you may need 10% to 30%.
- Priority fee: The additional SOL paid to validators for faster transaction inclusion. Higher priority fees improve your chances of landing a transaction during congested periods.
- MEV protection: Some bots offer anti-MEV features that route transactions through private pools to avoid sandwich attacks. Check whether Bloom has this enabled and understand what it does.
Auto-Buy
Bloom supports auto-buy functionality where you can set the bot to automatically buy a specified amount of SOL worth of any token you paste. This removes the step of selecting an amount each time, which saves a second or two on each trade — meaningful when you are trying to enter a position quickly.
To enable auto-buy:
- Go to Bloom's settings.
- Set your default buy amount (e.g., 0.5 SOL).
- Enable auto-buy.
- Now when you paste a contract address, Bloom will buy immediately at your preset amount instead of showing you amount options first.
Use auto-buy with caution. The speed advantage comes at the cost of not reviewing token information before buying. Make sure you have already done your research before pasting the address.
Selling Tokens
Manual Sell
To sell a token you hold:
- Open your portfolio or positions view in Bloom.
- Select the token you want to sell.
- Choose a sell percentage — common options are 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% of your position.
- Confirm and the bot executes the sell.
Bloom shows your current PnL (profit and loss) for each position, making it easy to see which tokens are in profit and by how much before deciding to sell.
Auto-Sell Triggers
Auto-sell is one of the most important features for managing risk. Bloom lets you set conditions that automatically sell a position when triggered:
Take profit: Set a target return (e.g., sell 50% of the position at 2x, sell another 25% at 5x). When the token hits your target price, Bloom sells automatically.
Stop loss: Set a maximum loss threshold (e.g., sell 100% if the position drops 50% from entry). This prevents a bad trade from going to zero while you are not watching.
Trailing stop: A dynamic stop loss that moves up as the price increases. If you set a 30% trailing stop, Bloom will sell if the price drops 30% from the highest point reached after your buy. This lets you ride uptrends while automatically locking in some of the gains.
Setting up auto-sell triggers on every position is strongly recommended, especially for memecoin trading where prices can drop 80% or more in minutes. Even a simple stop loss at -50% prevents your worst losses.
Limit Orders
Beyond instant market buys and sells, Bloom supports limit orders:
- Buy limit: Set a price at which you want to buy a token. If the token drops to your target price, the order executes automatically.
- Sell limit: Set a price at which you want to sell. Same as a take-profit trigger but structured as a pending order.
Limit orders are useful when you want to enter a token at a lower price than the current market or when you have a specific exit price in mind. They run on Bloom's infrastructure — the bot monitors the price and executes when your conditions are met.
Keep in mind that limit orders depend on Bloom's servers being operational and monitoring prices accurately. They are not on-chain limit orders like those offered by Jupiter. If Bloom experiences downtime, your limit orders will not execute.
Copy Trading
Bloom includes a copy trading feature that lets you automatically mirror trades from wallets you specify.
How It Works
- Add a wallet address you want to copy.
- Set a buy amount (how much SOL to spend when the copied wallet buys).
- Configure additional parameters like maximum buy amount per token, tokens to exclude, and whether to copy sells as well.
- When the target wallet buys a token, Bloom automatically buys the same token with your specified amount.
Copy Trading Considerations
Copy trading sounds simple but has several practical challenges:
Latency: There is always a delay between the source wallet's transaction landing on-chain and your copy trade executing. On Solana, this delay is typically 1 to 5 seconds, which can mean significantly different entry prices on volatile tokens.
Position sizing mismatch: If you are copying a whale who buys $50,000 of a token and you are copying with 1 SOL, the dynamics are completely different. The whale's purchase itself may have moved the price, meaning you buy at a higher price than they did.
No context: You see what a wallet buys but not why. A trader might buy a token as a hedge, as part of a larger strategy, or with information you do not have. Blindly copying without understanding the thesis is risky.
Exit timing: Even if you copy the buy, you need to know when to sell. Copying sells helps, but your entry price is different from the source wallet's entry, so their profitable exit might be your breakeven or loss.
Use copy trading as a discovery tool rather than a passive income strategy. When you see a copied wallet buying a token, treat it as a signal to investigate, not as an automatic position to hold.
Fees
Bloom charges a 1% fee per trade — both buys and sells. This is in line with most Telegram trading bots and web-based terminals.
On top of the 1% Bloom fee, you also pay:
- The underlying DEX pool fee (typically 0.25% on Raydium standard pools).
- Solana base transaction fee (negligible).
- Priority fees (variable, depending on your settings).
A round trip (buy + sell) through Bloom costs approximately 2.5% to 3% total in fees. This is a meaningful cost, especially for smaller positions. A 1 SOL buy that you sell for 1.1 SOL (a 10% gain) nets you only about 7% after fees.
Security Considerations
Every Telegram trading bot requires you to trust the bot operator with your private key or with a wallet they generated for you. This is the fundamental security trade-off of bot trading.
What this means in practice:
- Bloom's infrastructure has access to your bot wallet's private key. They need it to sign transactions on your behalf.
- If Bloom's servers are compromised, your bot wallet funds are at risk.
- If Bloom ceases operations, you still have your private key (if you backed it up) and can recover your funds independently.
How to manage this risk:
- Never keep more funds in your bot wallet than you are actively trading. After a trading session, withdraw profits to a wallet you fully control.
- Use a dedicated bot wallet, never your main holdings wallet.
- Back up your private key immediately when the wallet is created.
- Be aware that the private key exists on Bloom's servers. This is inherent to how all Telegram trading bots work — there is no way around it without losing the speed advantage.
This is not unique to Bloom. Trojan, BONKbot, and every other Telegram trading bot operate the same way. The alternative — using a web-based terminal like Photon or BullX — has you managing your own embedded wallet, which is slightly more secure but still involves trusting the platform's frontend code.
Bloom vs Trojan vs BONKbot
Here is how Bloom compares to the other major Telegram trading bots on Solana:
| Feature | Bloom | Trojan | BONKbot |
|---|
| Fee | 1% | 0.9% | 1% |
| Interface | Clean, visual layout | Dense, feature-packed | Simple, minimal |
| Auto-sell | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Limit orders | Yes | Yes | Limited |
| Copy trading | Yes | Yes | No |
| Best for | Beginners, clean UX | Power traders, lower fees | Simple quick trades |
Bloom is the best starting point for traders new to Telegram bots. The interface is less overwhelming and the setup process is more guided. If you value clarity and ease of use, Bloom is the right choice.
Trojan is the most popular Telegram trading bot overall, with a slightly lower fee (0.9%) and more advanced features. It is dense and information-heavy, which can be intimidating at first but gives power users more control. If you plan to trade seriously and want every possible feature, Trojan is hard to beat.
BONKbot was one of the original Solana Telegram bots and remains popular for its simplicity. It does fewer things but does them reliably. Good for quick, no-frills trading.
All three bots connect to the same underlying Solana DEXs and liquidity pools, so trade execution quality is similar. The differences are primarily in user experience, feature set, and fee structure.
Tips for Using Bloom Effectively
Set auto-sell on every position. The single biggest mistake new traders make with Telegram bots is buying tokens and forgetting about them. Memecoins can go to zero overnight. At minimum, set a stop loss on every buy.
Start with manual buys before enabling auto-buy. Take the time to review token information before buying while you are learning. Auto-buy saves seconds but removes your chance to catch red flags.
Manage your wallet balance actively. After a profitable trading session, withdraw your profits to a secure wallet. Do not let large amounts accumulate in the bot wallet.
Use preset amounts that match your risk tolerance. If you are comfortable risking 0.5 SOL per trade, set your buy buttons accordingly. Do not make it easy to accidentally buy 5 SOL of something by having that as a preset.
Review your trades regularly. Bloom shows your PnL per position. Look at your winners and losers to understand patterns. Are you consistently selling too early? Holding too long? Buying tokens that rug? Use the data to improve your process.
Conclusion
Bloom is a solid entry point into Telegram-based Solana trading. Its clean interface and guided setup make it less intimidating than more feature-dense alternatives, while still offering the core functionality that matters — fast buys, auto-sell triggers, limit orders, and copy trading.
The 1% fee per trade is standard for the category, and the security trade-offs are identical to every other Telegram bot. If you are new to on-chain trading and want to start with a bot that will not overwhelm you on day one, Bloom is a strong choice. As you get more experienced and want more granular control, you can always graduate to more advanced tools.
