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. If you also need to move SOL or USDC for things beyond trading — invoicing, payroll, or accepting customer payments — that's a separate toolkit, covered in our best Solana payment tools guide.
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.
When you withdraw profits to your own wallet, a human-readable .sol domain from Solana Name Service is far less error-prone to paste than a 44-character address.
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. Some traders also surface calls through social platforms — our SocialFi on Solana guide covers the social-finance apps where that signal originates. Trojan isn't limited to memecoins either — plenty of traders use it to enter the tokens behind the best Solana gaming projects when a launch or season drives volume.
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.
Telegram is also where you'll run into Blinks — tappable on-chain actions embedded in chats and posts. Our explainer on what Solana Blinks and Actions are covers how those one-tap transaction links work.
Sniping early pump.fun launches means buying while a token is still on its bonding curve, so it helps to understand how bonding-curve pricing actually works before you set aggressive presets.
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.
