Getting started
Open the bot, create your wallets, fund them, and make your first trade.
The Torch bot lives at t.me/TorchOfficial_bot. Everything below happens inside that chat.
1. Start and pick a main chain
Send /start. The bot asks which chain should be your main chain. This is where your main balance lives and what you pay with by default; you can change it later with /chain, and it never moves funds.
2. Accept the terms and set a password
You will see a short summary of how custody works before anything is created:
- Your private key is never stored by Torch. It is generated and held inside a Turnkey trusted execution environment.
- You can export the key at any time.
- Torch cannot initiate a transaction without your confirmation.
Tap I Agree & Create Wallet. A small in-Telegram app opens where you choose a password. The password protects your signing authority on your own device; Torch cannot read it and cannot reset it. Write it down.
3. Your wallets are created
You receive two addresses:
| Wallet | Format | Used on |
|---|---|---|
| EVM | 0x… | Every EVM chain (same address everywhere) |
| Solana | base58 | Solana |
These are two separate keys. Back up both via /exportkey when you are ready. See Wallets & security.
4. Fund the wallet
Send the native gas token of your main chain to the matching address (ETH to the EVM address, SOL to the Solana address). The menu header shows your balance; tap Refresh Balance if it lags.
If you do not want to use cross-chain features, simply keep a balance on each chain you trade on and buy or sell directly there.
5. Buy something
Paste any contract address (EVM 0x… or a Solana mint) into the chat. A token card appears with price, market cap, liquidity, holders and social links, plus amount buttons. Tap an amount, and the bot quotes, signs and broadcasts. Under your auto-approve threshold nothing else is required; above it you confirm with your password.
Referral links
If a friend sent you a link like t.me/TorchOfficial_bot?start=ref_CODE, opening it before your first trade attributes your account to them. See Rewards.
The main menu
/menu opens the hub. The header shows the active wallet address and balance; below it:
Buy · Sell · Swap · Portfolio · Orders · Trades · Withdraw · Bridge · Launch · Referral · Cashback · Settings · Help · Refresh Balance
Every button has an equivalent slash command; see the Command reference.
