Wallet Security Team: Telegram bots have demonstrated tremendous potential for intent-based interaction in the field of cryptocurrency. This trend is expected to drive the future development of decentralized exchanges (DEX) through optimizing user experience, enhancing transaction convenience and security, expanding the financial service ecosystem, and technological innovation.
Simplified operations: Telegram bots simplify complex operational processes by using natural language processing, allowing users to execute trades through simple chat commands.
Automated trading: Users can set up automated trading rules, such as stop loss and take profit points, reducing the risks and time costs associated with manual operations.
Seamless integration: Bots integrate with decentralized exchanges (DEX) through API interfaces, hiding complex trading operations and reducing users’ learning costs.
Real-time operations: Bots can monitor market dynamics in real-time and notify users immediately, enabling them to make quick trading decisions and execute transactions.
Improved security
Smart contracts: Bots utilize smart contracts to ensure transparent and secure transactions, reducing the possibility of human intervention and fraud.
Decentralization: While bots may be centralized, actual transactions take place in a decentralized environment, enhancing the security and transparency of transactions.
Expanded ecosystem
Multi-functional platform: Telegram bots can extend beyond trading to include financial services such as asset management, lending, and pledging, providing an all-in-one financial solution.
Enhanced community interaction: Bots facilitate user communication and community building through the Telegram platform, increasing user engagement.
Technology and market-driven
Innovation driving force: Advancements in artificial intelligence and blockchain technology will make bots increasingly intelligent and efficient, driving the emergence of more decentralized applications and services.
Market acceptance: User demand for simplified and automated services is growing, driving more DEX to adopt bot services to enhance competitiveness.
Q6: Security risks associated with high-frequency tools such as various Telegram bot robots
CertiK Security Team: With the development of the cryptocurrency market, Telegram bot robots have become increasingly popular in trading and information acquisition. However, these frequently used tools also bring significant security risks. Users should pay special attention to the following aspects when using them.
Firstly, many Telegram bot robots have not undergone security audits or had their codes publicly available, which may lead to the presence of malicious code or vulnerabilities. These malicious bots may steal users’ private keys, identity information, or other sensitive data. In addition, malicious bots may impersonate legitimate services and induce users to enter their private keys or mnemonic phrases through phishing attacks, resulting in fund theft. Therefore, users should ensure that only officially recommended or verified bots are used and avoid clicking on unfamiliar links or entering sensitive information.
Secondly, some bots may request excessive permissions, such as accessing users’ contacts, files, or other confidential information. Users should be cautious when granting permissions and ensure that bots only have the minimum permissions necessary for their normal operation. Additionally, communication between bots and Telegram servers may be intercepted by man-in-the-middle attacks, leading to data leakage or tampering. Users should ensure that they use bots with encrypted communication and check the implementation of secure communication protocols.
Thirdly, many Telegram bots provide automated trading functions, but if these bots have flaws in their trading logic, it may result in significant financial losses. Users should conduct thorough testing before using such functions and monitor trading activities to prevent abnormal situations. Furthermore, bot developers may collect and store large amounts of user data, and if this data is leaked or abused, user privacy will be severely threatened. Users should choose bots with good reputation and privacy policies and regularly review their privacy protection measures.
Finally, excessive reliance on certain bots for trading or asset management may result in the inability to perform normal operations when the bot service is interrupted or closed. Therefore, users should avoid excessive reliance on a single bot and prepare backup plans. By understanding and preventing these risks, users can use Telegram bot robots more securely and protect their assets and privacy.
OKX Web3 Wallet Security Team: Similar to TG bot robots, while providing convenient services, they also bring great hidden risks. Next, we will give examples to illustrate.
Centralized custody risk of private keys: Most Telegram bots require custody of users’ private keys for active signing and sending of transactions. This means that users’ private keys are stored on third-party servers, increasing the risk of theft or abuse.
Phishing risk: Phishing links sent through Telegram bots may induce users to click on them, leading to the theft of account information or private keys. In addition, artificial inducements in chat windows (such as impersonating customer service) may trick users into providing their mnemonic phrases or other sensitive information.
Trojan horse risk: Some bots may infect users’ devices through the sending of malicious software (Trojans) or malicious SDKs, compromising the security of the entire system.
In summary, when using various types of bot robots, users need to carefully identify and avoid clicking on unfamiliar links or leaking their private keys.
Q7: Operation misconceptions and risk prevention for users trading MEME
CertiK Security Team: Firstly, for any dApp that interacts with your wallet, including trading platforms and Telegram bots, users should conduct due diligence on security. Choosing audited dApps can reduce the risk of attacks during operations and ensure the security of private keys and identity information. Currently, CertiK provides penetration testing services for dApps to help users minimize risks.
Secondly, MEME trading heavily relies on transaction responsiveness and frequency. Therefore, selecting a stable and cost-effective trading platform is crucial. When conducting trades, users should choose platforms that are secure, stable, fast, and have lower transaction fees to achieve a better trading experience. For example, MemeScan introduced by CertiK provides real-time security status information, including on-chain behavior analysis of MEME. For instance, whether contracts can issue new tokens, whether trades can be suspended or restricted, whether a few addresses control most of the tokens or liquidity, etc. Hopefully, this can provide some assistance to users for safe trading.
OKX Web3 Wallet Security Team: Considering security, users should be aware of secure operations and risk prevention when trading MEME to ensure the accuracy and security of transactions.
Choose the right trading platform: Users should choose reputable and highly secure cryptocurrency exchanges and avoid using unverified or unknown trading platforms, which may pose risks of asset theft. For on-chain transactions, it is important to verify the official website of the project and confirm the correctness of the contract.
Enable higher security authentication methods: To enhance security, users can enable two-factor authentication in all trading platforms and wallets, using applications such as Google Authenticator or other security applications. It is recommended to avoid using SMS verification, as it is vulnerable to SIM card swapping attacks.
Use wallets with high security: Users should use verified wallets for transactions and ensure the safe backup of mnemonic phrases or private keys in a secure location, avoiding electronic backups. Failure to back up private keys or mnemonic phrases will result in the inability to recover assets if the device is lost or damaged.
Prevent phishing: Users need to verify the URLs used for transactions and ensure that they are official links. When encountering issues, ensure that the contact is with official customer support and ignore private messages in Telegram, Discord, or other groups. Never click on unfamiliar links or sign or display signatures without knowing their content.
Secure network environment: Users should perform operations on trusted operating systems and avoid using public Wi-Fi networks.
