Telegram Trading Bots in Telegram Sponsored Ads#

Telegram trading bots let users buy/sell tokens directly via chat commands — faster than any DEX interface. Telegram Ads Spy catalogued 100+ creatives from Unibot, Maestro, Banana Gun, and BonkBot across 9,000+ channels.

Top Advertisers#

Bot	Ads	Intensity	Specialty
Banana Gun	~30	9/10	Multi-chain sniper
Maestro	~25	8/10	Advanced order types
Unibot	~25	8/10	Uniswap V3 specialist
BonkBot	~20	9/10	Solana meme sniping

Creative Patterns#

Banana Gun — speed narrative: «Buy any token in 0.1 seconds. Anti-MEV. Anti-rug protection. Banana Gun snipers never miss.» The speed-first message resonated with meme coin traders who lose to bots otherwise.

Unibot — revenue sharing: «Trade on Uniswap. Earn UNIBOT revenue share. 40% of fees to holders.» The revenue-share mechanic turned the bot into a yield-bearing asset — unique in this segment.

Maestro — professional tools: «Limit orders on any EVM token. Stop-loss. Take-profit. DCA. Mirror trading.» Targets systematic traders who want TradFi order types on-chain.

BonkBot — Solana speed: «The fastest Solana bot. 0.001s execution. Snipe any Pump.fun launch.» BonkBot's dominance in Solana meme coin launches drove the highest single-week ad intensity in Telegram Ads Spy history.

Revenue Model Comparison#

Bot	Fee	Rev Share	Chain
Banana Gun	0.5%	No	Multi
Unibot	1%	40% to holders	ETH
Maestro	1%	No	Multi
BonkBot	1%	No	SOL

Geographic Distribution#

English dominates (82%). Russian channels are disproportionately represented — high overlap between Telegram-native Russian users and meme coin trading culture. Chinese channels track Solana bot launches.

Trends 2025–2026#

Pump.fun integration made BonkBot the dominant Solana bot: automatic sniping of new Pump.fun launches became a product category. Multi-chain bots became table stakes: every major bot expanded beyond ETH. Anti-rug features (honeypot detection, locked liquidity checks) became differentiators after multiple Telegram bot exploits. Copy-trading emerged as a mainstream feature: «Mirror the top 10 wallets automatically.»
