What Is Maestro Bot? The Telegram Trading Bot Explained

Maestro turns a Telegram chat into a trading terminal for tokens that trade on decentralized exchanges and launchpads ¹². The main functions:

• Manual buys and sells. Paste a token contract address and trade from the bot's menu.
• Auto-snipe. Set a maximum spend and the bot tries to buy a token as soon as trading opens ¹.
• Copy trading. The bot mirrors the buys and sells of wallets you choose to follow ¹.
• Limit orders. Orders trigger at a price or market-cap target ¹.
• Trade Monitor and multi-wallet. Track open positions and trade from several wallets at once ¹⁵.

Separate bots handle wallet tracking (Wallet Bot), large-transaction alerts (Whale Bot) and buy alerts for token communities (Buy Bot, free for up to two tokens). A desktop Scraper forwards contract addresses posted in Telegram channels to the trading bot ¹.

Bots like this act fast, but that is also where the risk sits: newly launched tokens are where rug pulls, honeypots and extreme slippage are most common. See what a rug pull is.

As of 23 October 2026, Maestro's docs list 12 chains ². On Solana it routes to Raydium, Orca, Meteora, FluxBeam, Pump.Fun and Moonshot; on Ethereum to Uniswap V2 and V3; on BNB Chain to PancakeSwap and Four.Meme; and on Base to Uniswap, Aerodrome, SushiSwap and Virtuals, among others ². Supported venues change often, so check the getting-started page for the current list.

You start by opening @Maestro on Telegram, solving a captcha, enabling the chains you want and creating or importing a wallet for each ². Impersonator bots with near-identical names are common, so open the bot only from the link on maestrobots.com. Maestro's docs recommend generating a fresh wallet inside the bot instead of importing your main wallet, and storing the private key it shows you offline ⁸.

Maestro charges 1% of each successful buy and sell, manual or automated; plain transfers are free ⁴. On Solana the fee is taken inside the trade. On other chains it builds up as an unpaid balance and is collected from your highest-balance wallet on that chain once it passes a minimum ⁴. Example: a 2 SOL buy carries a 0.02 SOL Maestro fee, plus Solana network and priority fees and any DEX pool fee (illustrative).

Premium costs $200 a month, paid in the bot. It raises limits, for example 10 wallets per chain instead of 8, 12 copy-trade wallets instead of 5 and 120 limit orders instead of 60, and adds a faster Pro Bot, a Launch Simulator for checking a token's taxes and limits, a trending list and priority support ⁵. The docs do not say Premium lowers the 1% fee ⁴⁵.

Maestro's Terms say the company "must have access to the User's Private Keys" to place trades, while also stating it does not take custody of users' assets ³. In practice, the bot can sign transactions from any wallet you load into it, and Maestro may keep keys for up to three months after a permanent suspension ³. The Terms do not describe how keys are stored. Treat a bot wallet as a hot wallet: keep only trading funds in it and withdraw the rest using the bot's Send options ⁸.

The Terms define the United States and Canada as restricted locations and exclude anyone barred under US or Canadian law; more locations may be added to a published list ³. Liability is capped at the fees you paid in the previous 12 months ³.

Maestro is one of several Telegram and web-based trading bots; the trading tools category lists others, and crypto trading bots explains how they work in general.
