Trojan is the most popular Telegram trading bot on Solana — the one with the largest active user base and the cleanest button UI in the category. If you've never traded through Telegram before, it's the standard recommendation for a reason: everything from buying to sniping to copy trading happens in one chat window.
This guide walks through setup, your first trade, and every major feature — plus the security steps and fee math you should know before sending SOL to any bot wallet.
What Is Trojan?
Trojan is a Telegram-based trading bot for Solana. There's no website to trade from and no wallet-connect popup — you interact entirely through chat. Paste a token address, tap a button, and the bot executes the trade on-chain using a wallet it generates for you.
The core feature set:
- Instant buy/sell with preset amounts and one-tap sell percentages
- Limit orders — buy or sell at your target price
- Copy trading — mirror other wallets automatically
- Pump.fun sniping — auto-buy new launches matching your criteria
- DCA — automatic recurring buys
- Multi-wallet management from one Telegram account
The fee is 0.9% per trade — no subscription, no minimum. That's slightly under the 1% most competitors charge, though above Banana Gun's 0.5%.
Setup: Your First Five Minutes
- Open Trojan in Telegram
- Hit
/start
- The bot generates a Solana wallet for you automatically
- Send SOL to the wallet address it shows you
Do this before anything else: export and back up your private key. Trojan gives you a command to view it — store it in a password manager. If you lose your Telegram account or the bot ever goes down, that key is the only way to recover your funds.
And the rule that applies to every Telegram bot, not just Trojan: fund it with trading capital only. Your main holdings stay in your own wallet (Phantom or hardware). The bot wallet holds what you're actively trading, nothing more.
Your First Buy (and Sell)
Paste any Solana token address into the chat. Trojan replies with the token's stats and a row of buy buttons at preset SOL amounts. Tap one — the trade executes within seconds.
Selling is the same flow in reverse: open your positions, tap a sell percentage (25%, 50%, 100%), done. No commands to memorize for basic operations — the button layout is what Trojan does best.
For finding what to buy, pair the bot with a data layer: our KOL Tracker shows what 1,000+ ranked wallets are buying in real time, and Daily Alpha surfaces the day's strongest convergence signals.
Limit Orders
Set a buy or sell that triggers at a specific price. This is the feature to use on tokens you're watching but don't want to chase — set the limit, walk away, let the bot handle the entry.
One honest caveat: limit orders rely on Trojan's servers monitoring prices. On fast-moving memecoins, a server hiccup or a violent candle can mean your order fills late or not at all. Treat limits as a convenience, not a guarantee.
Copy Trading
Paste a wallet address, set your buy amount per copy, and Trojan mirrors that wallet's trades automatically. You can follow multiple wallets at once and set per-wallet amounts.
The built-in limitation is latency: the wallet you're copying buys, the transaction confirms, Trojan detects it, then submits your trade. On volatile memecoins those seconds can mean a meaningfully worse entry. If copy trading is your primary strategy rather than a side feature, compare the dedicated platforms in our copy trading comparison — and pick wallets worth copying from the KOL leaderboard rather than Twitter screenshots.
Pump.fun Sniping
Trojan can auto-buy tokens the moment they launch on Pump.fun. You set the criteria — minimum liquidity, specific deployer wallets — and the bot fires when a matching token appears.
Know what you're up against: sniping is the most competitive game on Solana, and you're racing custom infrastructure. Trojan's snipe execution is decent, but the edge isn't in the trigger — it's in which deployers you watch. Our Deployer Hunter tracks the track record behind every deployer wallet, so your snipe criteria are based on history instead of hope.
DCA
Recurring automatic buys at an interval you set. Useful for accumulating a position without timing it — more relevant for tokens you hold over weeks than for day-traded memecoins.
Fees: What 0.9% Actually Costs
On a 10 SOL buy, Trojan takes 0.09 SOL. Round-trip (buy + sell), you're paying roughly 1.8% of position size per completed trade. At ten round-trips a week that compounds fast — which is the honest argument for comparing fees before settling on a bot. Our bot fee calculator runs your actual monthly volume across 9 bots.

Security Checklist
- Export the private key on day one and store it offline
- Dedicated trading wallet only — never deposit your main stack
- Enable Telegram 2FA — your Telegram account is your bot access
- Check anti-rug settings — Trojan screens for honeypots and freeze authority, but no filter catches everything
- Withdraw profits regularly to a wallet you fully control
Trojan vs. the Alternatives
Trojan vs BonkBot: BonkBot is simpler — one command, one tap. Trojan has more features (limits, DCA, sniping, copy). Beginners who want zero configuration pick BonkBot; everyone else outgrows it.
Trojan vs Bloom: Both are block-zero fast. Bloom's copy trading settings are more advanced; Trojan's community and button UX are stronger.
Trojan vs a web terminal: Telegram wins on speed-to-trade from your phone. Terminals like Axiom and Photon win on charts, launch feeds, and data. Many traders run both — see our trading terminal comparison for that side of the stack.
Getting Started: Your First Session
- Set up the bot and back up the key (five minutes)
- Fund with a small amount — 1-2 SOL while learning
- Make one small manual buy and sell to learn the flow
- Set one limit order on a token you're watching
- Only then explore sniping and copy trading with strict per-trade caps
Final Thoughts
Trojan earns its position as the default Solana Telegram bot: the widest adoption, a clean UI, and every core feature without a subscription. Its weaknesses are the category's weaknesses — server-dependent limit orders, copy-trade latency, and the custody trade-off of any bot-generated wallet.
The bot is the execution layer. The edge comes from what you feed it — and that's a data problem. Start with the KOL Tracker, pick your targets, and let Trojan do what it's good at: firing fast.
