Trading is DM-only. Wallet, presets, buy/sell and autobuy only work in a private chat with @altfun_trading_bot. In the community group the bot is read-only — /token and info commands only, never buying.

Autobuy

Turn on autobuy in /settings and set your amount. Then just paste a token contract in the bot DM and it buys immediately at your configured size and gas — no card, no taps. Use /token <contract> when you want to inspect a token without buying.

Token card — what's on it

Paste an alt.fun contract address (or URL) and the bot renders a rich card with everything you need to make a decision:

  • Header. Token image · name · ticker · CA · supply.
  • Live market. Price · 24h change · market cap · curve progress (e.g. $4.29K / $9K, 47.69%) · holders · 24h volume.
  • Dev launches badge. Shows how many alt.fun tokens the creator has launched: Dev: 0x… (3) for repeat launchers, 🆕 (1st launch) for first-timers, (100+) for the rest.
  • Top holders. Tap the button to see the top 5 addresses by % of supply.
  • Your wallet snapshot. USDC balance ready to spend.
  • Position section (when you hold the token): realised PnL · current worth · amount held · % of supply · average entry mcap. Reconstructed from your trade history.

Buy flow

  1. Tap a preset (e.g. $25) or Custom amount.
  2. Bot checks USDC allowance on the alt.fun router. If insufficient, submits a one-time approve(max) first.
  3. Bot submits buy(token, usdc, minOut, referrer) with your slippage-adjusted min-out.
  4. Polls for receipt. On success: ✅ filled + Hyperscan tx link. On revert: ❌ with the on-chain reason decoded.
  5. The signing event lands in /wallet → Activity log.

Sell flow

Open a token from /positions (or any card you already hold) and the sell row appears with percentage presets (25 / 50 / 75 / 100%). One tap submits the sell with your slippage. Graduated tokens route via HyperSwap (in progress).

Custom amount

Tap Custom amount on any card → bot prompts you for a USDC amount in chat. Validates it's above the alt.fun minimum, shows a quote with slippage, and submits. Cancellable at any step.

Slippage

Default 15% on buys and sells. alt.fun's curve is steep around graduation so generous slippage prevents reverts. Tune in /settings → Slippage.

Gas tier

Three tiers as a multiplier on the live base-fee:

  • Low — base × 1.10 — fine when the chain is quiet.
  • Medium (default) — base × 1.50 — balanced.
  • Instant — base × 2.50 — for moves you can't miss.

HyperEVM gas is currently <1 Gwei so a full buy costs cents. The bot estimates exact gas with 20% headroom before submitting.

Presets

Default buy: $10 / $25 / $50 / $100 / $250. Default sell: 25% / 50% / 75% / 100%. Add or remove presets in /settings.

Positions view

/positions lists every alt.fun token your wallet holds, sorted by USD value. Paginated 10 per page. Tokens worth less than $0.01 are hidden automatically. Each row is a tap-button that opens the full card with a sell sheet attached.

Activity log

/wallet → Activity log shows the last 20 signing events (approve / buy / sell) with timestamps and Hyperscan links. Every entry should match a button you tapped — anything you don't recognise is a red flag.

Wallet management

  • Multi-wallet. Import up to 6 keys, label W1…W6 auto-assigned.
  • Main wallet picker. Tap any W-label to switch the active wallet.
  • Export PK. Reveals the key in chat with auto-delete.
  • Delete wallet. Two-step confirm; promotes the next wallet to main.

Bot fee

0.50% per trade, deducted from the input side, paid to a separate fee wallet. Shown explicitly on every quote.

Graduated tokens

Once a token graduates from the bonding curve to HyperSwap, the bot flags it on the card. Routing graduated trades through HyperSwap is on the roadmap.
