Quickstart

Your Telegram account is your ALPHA Network identity. Your calls, your score and your rewards all follow it, in the bot, the Mini App and the website.

What you need#

• A Telegram account.
• The link to the ALPHA Network bot (from your group, the website's Open in Telegram button, or a friend).
• Optional for now: a Solana wallet such as Phantom, Solflare or Backpack. You only need it for PRO, hosting a group and getting paid.

Steps#

1. Open the bot and tap Start (or send /start). You'll see a welcome card with four lines: call tokens, every call is tracked, build an Alpha Score, share real revenue. New accounts get this short tour first.

2. Tap Show me how it works › and read the five short steps. Tap Next › to move on. You can open the tour again any time with /guide.

3. Tap ✓ Finish. This opens your setup checklist. It shows what is done and what comes next, for example "Verify your Solana wallet" or "Make your first call". You can open it again with /setup.

4. Make a call. Pick the easiest way for you:

   • In a group that uses ALPHA Network: just post the token's contract address.
   • In your private chat with the bot: send /call followed by the address, for example /call EKpQGSJtjMFqKZ9KQanSqYXRcF8fBopzLHYxdM65zcjm.

   You'll see a card that says the call was recorded, with the market cap it was called at.

5. Wait for it to be scored. A call is followed for 7 days by default. After 24 hours it counts toward your Alpha Score. The bot messages you when your call reaches 2x, 3x, 5x and so on, and again when it is scored.

6. Check your record. Send /profile for your Alpha Record, or tap 👤 My record in the menu.

7. Optional: verify a wallet. Send /wallet and follow Verify your wallet and unlock PRO. It is a signature only, with no fees.

If it doesn't work#

• The bot doesn't reply. Make sure you opened a private chat with the bot and tapped Start. Telegram bots can't message you first.
• "Unknown command". Check the spelling, or send /help for the full list.
• "Your account is suspended". Send /support to contact the team.
• Your call says "not recorded". The message tells you which rule it broke. See Troubleshooting.
