Despite recent controvercy, UniBot is still one of the most powerful trading tools for crypto. Supporting Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base chain and Solana and being able to trade through their Telegram Bot and in their Webapp, UniBot is definitely one of the most versatile trading tools out there. This article is an overview and guide to UniBot after all the controversies in April 2024.

UniBot consists of two main parts; its Telegram trading bot and its webapp trading terminal, but before I explain those, I will walk you through UniBot’s features, fee structure, security and loyalty program.

If this article is helpful to you, please feel free to follow me on Twitter or Medium at Kryptokeisari. I try to share alpha on both. Thank you so much.

UniBot Features

UniBot is an established player in the Telegram bot scene, so it is relatively feature-rich. Some of the features include:

  1. Basic Buy/Sell Orders: Trojan allows users to place buy and sell orders directly through their Telegram Bot. Users can specify the token they want to buy or sell, the amount they wish to trade, and the desired price level.
  2. Limit Orders: With Trojan, users can set limit orders to execute trades at specific price levels. This feature enables traders to enter the market at their desired prices, helping them minimizing the need for constant monitoring.
  3. Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) Orders: DCA orders enable users to automate their investment strategy by regularly purchasing a specified amount of a particular token over time, regardless of price fluctuations. Trojan allows users to set up DCA orders, helping them accumulate assets gradually and potentially reduce the impact of market volatility
  4. Copy Trading: Trojan offers copy trading functionality, allowing users to copy-trade any solana wallet.
  5. Supported chains: Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base and Solana
  6. ETH-ARB/BASE Bridge: Trojan facilitates cross-chain trading between Ethereum, Arbitrum and Base blockchains through its ETH-ARB/BASE bridge feature. This allows users to access liquidity and trade assets across all ecosystems seamlessly

UniBot fees

Whenever you trade through Unibot, your trading wallets interact with the Unibot router contract. If you buy a token, the router contract will deduct the fee from your ETH input amount. If you sell a token, the fee is deducted from your ETH output amount.

  • Transactions through Unibot incur a fee of between 0.5% to 1%
  • The default fee is 1%, however you can reduce your fees by up to 50% through Loyalty Program

UniBot security

  • Private keys are encrypted using industry standard encryption. No one has access to it. Not UniBot’s server, database, or website
  • Unlike CEX, users have access to their private keys of Unibot generated trading wallets. You can import your keys to Metamask and have full control over your funds in Unibot at any time
  • Always treat your wallet as a hot wallet
  • Unibot team will be upgrading features to bring more comfort over your wallet security in the future. E.g. auto-transfer ETH out when your balance exceeds a custom threshold amount

Loyalty program

Transactions through the bot incur a fee of 1% by default. Unibot offers a reduced fee schedule for users that support Unibot in the following ways:

  • Active (high volume) traders
  • Holders of the $UNIBOT token

The fee reduction applies to any trades made through Unibot.

UniBot Token Sniper

Token Sniper is only available through the Telegram Bot. It will be added to Unibot X at a later time. Here are instructions how to use it.

  1. /menu in the Telegram bot.
  2. Click Snipers (ERC-20).
  3. Choose between Token Sniper or Auto Sniper.

Setting the tip

  • The tip (otherwise known as bribe) is necessary in order to succeed at token snipes
  • When the total tip of all Unibotters sniping a token is higher than our competitors, the Unibot users will win the token snipe
  • Therefore, every Unibot sniper plays an important role in the collective success

Custom tip/bribe

  1. Click Tip.
  2. You will be prompted to enter your custom amount in GWEI or ETH terms. E.g. 0.01 eth or 60 gwei.
  3. If you enter in ETH terms, it will be automatically converted into the equivalent GWEI. Either way, you’re done!

Token sniper

Token Sniper
  1. Tip — Specify the tip you are willing to pay for the snipe. You will only pay this tip if the snipe is successfully bundled, but be mindful that every enabled wallet pays the tip. This is an important setting for snipers! You can specify it in many ways, here are some examples: — 100 gwei - 0.02 eth
  2. Sniper On/Off — Choose which wallets you want to snipe with. All enabled wallets will snipe together. You can adjust this even while you have an active list of tokens to snipe.
  3. Max Spend Amt — The maximum amount of ETH you will buy with, for each of your enabled wallets. Your ETH spent will always be whichever value is smaller: the Max Spend Amt or the ETH required to buy the Max Wallet Size of the token you are sniping (if relevant). This does not include your gas costs, which can be high for token sniping.
  4. Autosell — Optionally choose to sell your tokens automatically when your specified rule is triggered. You can specify it in many ways, here are some examples: — 0.1 eth (i.e. if the value of your position is worth that much ETH) - 500% - 10 blocks
  5. First or Fail — If enabled, you will only be included in the snipe if Unibot is the first (i.e. the winning) sniper for a given token. Having this enabled is a trade-off: there’s less risk of you buying at a bad price, but you are less likely to succeed at buying.
  6. Anti-Rug — If the token owner tries to remove the liquidity from the token trading pair, automatically try to sell your tokens before them. It is not possible to protect you if the token owner uses a private transaction.
  7. Add Token To Snipe — The address of the token you intend to snipe.
