In short

What each bot message means and what to do next: wallet and balance gates, quotes, orders, signals, limit orders and backtests.

What is Houndbot?

Houndbot is a Telegram trading bot for new meme coins on Solana, BNB Chain, Base, Arc and Robinhood Chain. It combines our own launchpad signals and AI verdicts with one-tap trading, automatic exits, auto-trading, copy trading and backtests. It is in beta.

How do I start using Houndbot?

Open t.me/Houndsbot, tap Start, create or import a wallet, deposit on the chain you want to trade, then paste a contract address and tap a buy button. The guide walks through every screen.

Who holds my private keys?

Houndbot creates custodial wallets. Keys are stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM) in an isolated signing service, and you can export your key at any time after a 10-minute security cooldown. The team never asks for your key or seed phrase.

How much does Houndbot cost?

Trading is free to start with a flat 1% fee per trade. Pro costs $200 per 30 days and adds zero-delay signals; Pro+ costs $500 per 30 days and adds auto-trading, auto-copy and backtests.

Can Houndbot auto-trade signals from other Telegram channels?

Yes, on Pro+. Choose launchpad signals, our public channel or any channel you add. Calls from other channels only buy if the Judge gives a verdict other than "no chance", the 1-hour death risk is under your cap, liquidity is at least $5,000, tax is at most 10%, and on Solana the mint and freeze authority are renounced.

Does Houndbot guarantee profits?

No. Signals and model scores are probabilities, backtests show losses as they are, and memecoins are extremely volatile. Only trade what you can afford to lose.
