Overview
SNEKbot is a free chat bot that lets you buy and sell Cardano tokens without leaving Telegram or Discord. You place trades by typing short commands, and the bot tracks what you hold along with your profit or loss after fees1. It is aimed at people who want a fast, phone-friendly way to trade rather than opening a separate exchange app.
SNEKbot is built by DexHunter, a Cardano service that checks many exchanges at once to find the best price for a trade2. When you trade in the bot, your order is routed through DexHunter behind the scenes. The project has been funded through Cardano's Project Catalyst, the community program that awards grants to ecosystem builders3.
Key Features
- Trade from a chat window. You buy and sell any Cardano token by pasting its name or address into a Telegram or Discord message, with no separate app to install4.
- Best-price routing. Every trade runs through DexHunter, which compares prices across Cardano exchanges so you get a competitive rate on each swap2.
- Profit and loss tracking. The bot shows your token balances, current value, and how much you have made or lost after fees, so you can see how a position is doing at a glance1.
- Flat one percent fee. Each trade costs one percent, shared between the team, DexHunter, and Cardano community groups including the Snek and Hunt DAOs5.
- Refer-a-friend rewards. Sharing your invite link earns you ten percent of the trading fees your referred friends generate6.
What to Expect
Getting started takes a few minutes. You open the SNEKbot chat, use the menu button or send the home command, and the bot creates a trading wallet for you and shows a recovery phrase to write down and keep safe7. After you deposit ADA into that wallet, you can search for a token and place a buy or sell order in a single message.
Day to day, the experience is built around speed and simplicity: you trade with short commands and quick confirmations rather than charts or forms. You can trade tokens that are not yet widely listed by pasting their on-chain identifier, and the bot returns a price quote before you confirm4. The same commands work whether you use the Telegram version or the Discord version, so you can pick whichever chat app you already have open.
The bot creates and holds the trading wallet for you, which is why the setup screens show you the recovery phrase up front so you can save your own copy7. The documentation covers setup, deposits, buying, selling, and managing positions with step-by-step screenshots7. Alongside the current bot, the team lists automated buying, recurring purchases, and limit orders as planned additions1.
