What it is and who it is for
Crypto Bot (`@CryptoBot`, short link `t.me/send`) is one of the oldest and most widely used payments bots on Telegram, live since 2019. It's a custodial service: an operational backend holds real keys and addresses, while you manage only a server-side balance tied to your Telegram account. Supports TON, BTC, USDT (TRC-20 / ERC-20 / TON), ETH, BNB, SOL and around 15 assets across 6 networks. Headline strengths are instant transfers by @username, cheque-style links for gifts and giveaways, a P2P marketplace for buying crypto with fiat through escrow, and a public Crypto Pay API that powers tens of thousands of Telegram shops. Because of the custodial model, treat Crypto Bot as a pocket wallet for tens to a few hundred USD — for larger holdings move funds to Tonkeeper or MyTonWallet.
