FAQ

The basics#

What is ALPHA Network?#

A Telegram bot, a Mini App and a website that record every token call made in Telegram groups, follow each one to its real peak, rank callers and groups by what actually happened, and pay the best of them from real platform revenue.

Is it free?#

Yes. Making calls, building a record and getting ranked are free. PRO and hosting a group need you to hold $ALPHA, but nothing is ever charged. The only thing you pay for is a promoted call, and only if you choose to.

Do I need a wallet?#

Not to make calls. You need a verified Solana wallet for PRO, hosting a group and receiving rewards. See Verify your wallet.

Does ALPHA Network hold my funds or ask me to send tokens?#

No. Verifying a wallet is a signature only. PRO and hosting just read your balance. Rewards are sent to you.

Calls#

Can I delete or edit a bad call?#

No. That's the point: a record is only worth something if it can't be curated. Moderators can invalidate calls that break the rules, and those changes are audited.

Why wasn't my call recorded?#

It broke a network or group rule: low liquidity, a cooldown, the daily limit, a chain the group doesn't track, or someone called it first in that group. The bot tells you which. See Troubleshooting.

What if Rick or Phanes is down?#

Contract posts still count as calls. Rick and Phanes only add credit for scans and extra data.

Do calls in my private chat with the bot count?#

Yes, for your own record and score. They don't count for any group, because no group was involved.

Why does the website show my call 12 hours late?#

Public pages show calls with a delay (12 hours by default) so PRO members get them first. You always see your own record in your dashboard.

Scores#

When does a call count toward my score?#

After it matures: 24 hours after the call by default.

Why is my score lower than my best call suggests?#

The Alpha Score rewards consistent, early, risk-aware calling. One big win can't carry a record, and small samples are pulled toward a neutral score. See The Alpha Score.

Do promoted calls help my score?#

No. Promoted calls never count toward any score, rank or reward.

Rewards#

How much will I earn?#

It depends on the epoch's revenue, your score and the other qualifying callers. /rewards shows a projection once you qualify.

What do I need to qualify?#

By default: 3 scored calls in the epoch, a verified wallet, PRO during the epoch, and an account in good standing. See Rewards and payouts.

In what do I get paid?#

SOL by default (or USDC if the team chooses), sent to your verified wallet. Each payment is verified on the blockchain.

Groups#

What does hosting cost?#

Nothing is charged. You hold a hosting tier of $ALPHA (1,000,000 by default for one group) in your verified wallet.

Can I make my group stricter than the network?#

Yes: chains, liquidity, a market-cap range, cooldowns, a daily cap, admins-only calls and an ignore list. You can't make it looser. See Group settings.

Can I stop promoted calls in my group?#

Yes: /settings → 📣 Posts → Receive promoted calls.

What happens if I sell my $ALPHA?#

After a 24-hour grace period (default), the group becomes restricted: new calls pause, history is kept. Top up and it comes back. See PRO and hosting.

Account#

How do I hide my name?#

Turn off Public profile in /settings. You'll show as "Private caller". See Privacy and safety.

Can the team change the rules?#

Yes. Every number is a setting. Changes are checked before they apply and are recorded in an audit log. The bot always shows the current values.

How do I contact the team?#

Send /support your message to the bot in a private chat.

Why does a guide say "Keep reading with PRO"?#

The quick walkthroughs and the essential guides are free for everyone. Four in-depth guides go further: The Alpha Score, Calls and tracking, How rewards work and Group settings. Everyone can read their introduction. The full text opens when you're signed in to the website and you have PRO or host a group. See PRO and hosting.
