Groups vs Private Tracking

A linked group is a Telegram group chat that’s wired to a single user’s bot account. Wallets tracked inside the group are shared across every group member — alerts fire in the group chat, not in DMs — but the quota and tier ownership stay with the user who linked it.

When to use a group vs private tracking

Use private tracking when…	Use a linked group when…
You want alerts in your DM, no one else sees them	You want a small team, trading squad, or community to share a watchlist
Your wallet list is personal and changes often	The list is collaborative — multiple people add/remove wallets
You don’t want to rely on one user’s tier	A single power user (with Pro/Elite) is willing to “host” the group’s quota
You only need 1–2 contexts	You want separate cluster/filter settings for different purposes

You can run both at once. Most users have a personal list of their best alpha wallets (private), plus one or two groups for community alpha (shared).

Linking a group

The flow:

1. Add the bot to your Telegram group as a member.
2. One user runs /link in the group. This person becomes the linked user — the owner of the link from the bot’s perspective.
3. The bot DMs the linker with a confirmation prompt. The DM shows:
   • Your current wallet usage (private + any other groups)
   • That the group’s wallets will count against your wallet quota
   • That alerts will be sent to the group chat, not your DM
4. The linker taps ✅ Confirm Link within 5 minutes. After that the prompt expires and they need to retry.
5. On confirm, the group is live. Everyone in the group can now run /track to add wallets, and alerts arrive in the group chat.

A few things worth knowing:

• Any group member can run /link initially — the bot doesn’t require Telegram admin status.
• A group can only be linked to one user at a time. If a different user runs /link on an already-linked group, they get an error pointing them at the current owner.
• If the current owner runs /unlink, the group becomes available for someone else to link.

What’s shared, what isn’t

Shared with the group	Stays with the linked user
Wallet list (everyone sees the same /list)	Tier (the linked user’s tier governs the quota)
Alerts (delivered to the group chat)	Wallet quota (group wallets count against linked user)
Per-group settings (chain filter, min USD, cluster config)	Personal settings (the linked user’s private context is separate)
/track, /remove, /rename (any member can run)	Subscription, payments, referrals

If the linked user upgrades or downgrades their tier, the group’s effective wallet limit changes accordingly.

Per-group settings

Each linked group has its own notification settings, separate from anyone’s personal preferences:

• Group on/off mute
• Chain filter (mute Solana for one group, leave it on for another)
• Min USD value threshold
• Cluster settings (size, window, mode, alert style, trading-link toggles) — separately for EVM and Solana

These are managed from the dashboard via the context switcher (top-left of the sidebar). Switch to a group’s context, configure as if it were your own — the changes apply only to that group.

The context switcher only shows groups you’ve linked. If you’re a member of a group linked by someone else, you see the group’s alerts in Telegram but can’t manage its dashboard settings.

Adding wallets in a group

Same /track <address> <label> syntax — the bot detects the group context and stores the wallet against the group rather than your personal list. Alerts for that wallet fire in the group chat.

If the group hasn’t been linked yet, the bot replies with ⚠️ This group is not linked and prompts someone to run /link.

Wallet quota math

This trips people up — wallets in groups count against the linked user’s quota, not the group’s.

Example: You’re on Pro (250 EVM wallets) and you’ve linked 3 groups.

Private:    40 EVM
Group A:    35 EVM
Group B:    50 EVM
Group C:    20 EVM
Total:     145 / 250 EVM

If you try to /track another EVM wallet — in any context, private or any of the three groups — the limit check uses your combined total of 145.

This means a high-traffic group can crowd out your personal tracking, and vice-versa. Plan ahead: if you’re hosting a busy community group, expect to upgrade tier as it grows.

Group rate-limit shares too

Hourly alert rate limits are also shared at the linked-user level. If you’re on Pro (1,000 alerts/hour) with 3 groups, all four contexts (private + 3 groups) share the same 1,000-alert pool. A burst of activity in one group can chew through the limit and silence the others until the hour resets.

Tier limits on number of groups

Tier	Groups you can link
Free	0
Pro	1
Elite	5
Exclusive	100
Early Adopter	2

Free-tier users can’t link any groups at all. The group features need at least one paid (or promo) tier.

Unlinking

/unlink (in the group chat, run by the linker) ends the link. The bot DMs a confirmation prompt — confirm within 5 minutes and the group goes inactive. Group wallets are preserved, not deleted — if anyone re-links the same group later (you or someone else with capacity), the wallets and settings come back.

Context switcher in the dashboard

Top-left of the sidebar. Shows:

• Private Chat (with a lock icon) — your personal tracking
• LINKED GROUPS section listing every group you’ve linked, with title and wallet count
• Tap to switch — the rest of the dashboard re-renders for that context

The dashboard’s URL stays the same; the data scopes to whichever context is active. Useful for managing several groups without juggling multiple tabs.

If a group goes silent unexpectedly

The most common cause is the linked user’s account state — if their subscription expired or they got paused, the whole group inherits the silence. See I’m Not Getting Alerts → E. Group not getting alerts for the diagnostic.
