Overview​

Crypto Price Feed provides:

  • Real-Time Price Tracking: Monitor cryptocurrency prices across thousands of tokens
  • Custom Price Messages: Design branded price updates with placeholders and media
  • Flexible Posting Modes: On-command or automated interval updates
  • Price Alerts: Get notified when tokens reach specific price thresholds

Price Data Source

Price data is sourced from reliable market data providers and updated in real-time, covering thousands of cryptocurrencies across major exchanges.

How to Configure the Crypto Price Feed​

To access Crypto Price Feed settings:

  1. Use the /settings command in your chat
  2. Navigate to 🌐 Web3 → 📈 Crypto Price Feed
  3. Configure tokens and their settings

Adding a Token​

Add a new token to track its price and receive updates.

Steps:

  1. Navigate to Price Settings → ➕ Add Token
  2. The bot will prompt: 
    📝 Please send the ticker or ID of the token you want to add (e.g., btc). 
    IDs of available tokens can be searched for here.
  3. Enter the token symbol (e.g., btc, eth, sol)
  4. Press Enter to confirm

Token symbol examples:

btc - Bitcoin
eth - Ethereum
bnb - Binance Coin
sol - Solana
matic - Polygon
ada - Cardano
dot - Polkadot
Finding Token Symbols

Most tokens use their common ticker symbol. If the bot can't find your token:

  • Try the full name in lowercase (e.g., bitcoin instead of btc)
  • For wrapped tokens, remove the "w" prefix (use btc instead of wbtc)
  • Search CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap for the exact symbol
  • Check the "here" link in the bot's prompt for symbol lookup

If token is not found:

Token not found.

Common issues:

  • Incorrect symbol spelling
  • Token not listed on major exchanges
  • Using full name instead of symbol (or vice versa)
  • Including prefixes that should be omitted

Tip: For wrapped tokens, remove the "w" prefix (e.g., enter btc instead of wbtc).

Managing Tokens​

Once a token is added, you can configure its settings and behavior.

To manage tokens:

  1. Navigate to Manage Tokens
  2. Select the token you want to configure
  3. Choose from the following options

Token Configuration Options​

Set Price Message​

Define the format of the price update message with custom branding and dynamic placeholders.

Steps:

  1. Select your token from Manage Tokens
  2. Click Set Price Message
  3. The bot will prompt: 
    📝 Please send the new price message template for {token_symbol}. 
    You can include images or videos, and use {token_symbol} and {price} 
    as placeholders. You can also add buttons with links.
  4. Compose your custom message

Dynamic Placeholders:

  • {token_symbol} - Replaced with token symbol (e.g., BTC)
  • {price} - Replaced with current price (e.g., $42,000)

Message customization options:

  • Text: Write any text around the placeholders
  • Media: Include images or videos

Set Mode​

Choose how price updates will be posted: on-demand or automated intervals.

Available modes:

On Command Mode​

Members can type a specific command (e.g., /price) to request the current price on-demand.

How it works:

  1. Member types the price command in chat
  2. Bot instantly posts current price
  3. Message appears for everyone in the group
  4. Can be used anytime by any member

Best for:

  • Communities that prefer less automated posting
  • Keeping chat clean from frequent updates
  • Member-driven price checks
  • Lower-volume groups

Example:

Member: /price
Bot: BTC is currently $42,150

Interval Mode​

Set the bot to post updates automatically at regular intervals.

How it works:

  1. Configure posting interval (e.g., every hour)
  2. Bot automatically posts price updates
  3. Updates appear at scheduled times
  4. No member action required

Common intervals:

  • 15 minutes: Very active, high-frequency updates
  • 30 minutes: Regular updates for active communities
  • 1 hour: Standard interval, balanced approach
  • 4 hours: Less frequent, major updates only
  • 12 hours: Twice daily summaries
  • 24 hours: Once daily price check

Best for:

  • Keeping community constantly informed
  • High-activity trading groups
  • Projects with volatile price action
  • Communities expecting regular updates
Choose Your Mode

On-command gives members control over when prices are shown. Interval mode keeps everyone automatically informed. Consider your community's preference!

Steps to set mode:

  1. Select your token from Manage Tokens
  2. Click Set Mode
  3. Choose On Command or Interval
  4. If Interval: Specify the time interval between posts

Set Alert​

Configure an alert for when the token price meets a specific level.

Use cases:

  • Notify when price exceeds a target (e.g., "Alert when BTC > $50,000")
  • Alert when price drops below support (e.g., "Alert when BTC < $40,000")
  • Milestone celebrations (e.g., "Alert when token hits $1")
  • Stop-loss warnings (e.g., "Alert when token drops 20%")

Steps:

  1. Select your token from Manage Tokens
  2. Click Set Alert
  3. Specify the price threshold
  4. Choose alert condition (above/below)
  5. Set notification destination (group/channel)

Alert types:

Price Above Threshold:

Alert when {token_symbol} > $50,000
→ Triggers when price rises above $50,000

Price Below Threshold:

Alert when {token_symbol} < $40,000
→ Triggers when price drops below $40,000

Multiple Alerts: Set multiple price alerts for the same token:

  • Upper threshold: Alert at $50,000
  • Lower threshold: Alert at $40,000
  • Result: Get notified of significant movements in either direction
Strategic Alerts

Set buy alerts below current price and sell alerts above. Get notified of good entry/exit points automatically!

Example alert message:

🚨 Price Alert!

BTC has crossed $50,000!
Current Price: $50,250
