The Ultimate Guide On Using BONKbot
Whether you’re new to crypto trading or an experienced trader, it’s always useful to be able to refer to a tutorial guide.
This guide is exactly that, a step-by-step ‘How to use BONKbot’ walkthrough to get you trading as fast as possible.
How To Use BONKbot
Step 1: Setting Up Your Solana Wallet
To start using BONKbot, you’ll need a Solana wallet, such as Phantom or Solflare. These wallets provide robust security and easy fund management.
After setting up your wallet, safely store your seed phrase as it will be essential for accessing your funds.
Step 2. Funding Your Wallet With Solana
(How to send money to your BONKbot wallet)
You can fund your BONKbot wallet from an exchange like Binance, but it’s recommended to have a Solana wallet for easier fund management.
Download a crypto exchange app, like Coinbase, Binance or Kraken.
On the crypto exchange app, transfer money from your local currency and convert it to USDC (a stablecoin backed by the U.S. dollar).
Then, send the USDC to your Solana wallet address, ensuring the transfer is made on the Solana chain (not Ethereum).
If your USDC is on another blockchain, you can use [Jupiter Exchange](https://jup.ag/bridge-compare) to bridge it to Solana.
Swap your USDC for Solana (SOL) using [Jupiter Exchange](https://jup.ag/swap/USDC-SOL).
Step 3: Initiating BONKbot on Telegram
Next download or open the telegram app and search by username for Bonkbot_bot, or use this telegram link.
Press start or type /start and you will be greeted by the following message.
You’ve now initialized an empty wallet. You will be buying and selling from here
Step 4: Depositing SOL to BONKbot Wallet
The next step is to send a small amount of Sol to the address from any wallet you use. Just tap on the link to copy it.
