# Getting started with Hunterbot

***

**Step 1: Launch the Bot on Telegram**

1. **Find the Bot  : Search button go for** [**https://t.co/o9cXRESJsV**](https://t.co/o9cXRESJsV) **or @hunter\_solana\_bot**
2. **Start the Chat:** Open the chat with the bot and click the "Start" button or type `/start`.

***

**Step 2: Set Up Your Wallet**

When you launch the bot for the first time, it will likely guide you through setting up your wallet. You’ll have a few options:

* **Create a New Wallet:** The bot generates a new Solana wallet for you.\
  **It’s crucial to store the private key or recovery phrase in a safe and offline place.** This is the only way to recover access to your funds if you lose access to the bot or Telegram.
* **Import an Existing Wallet:** If you already have a Solana wallet (e.g., Phantom, Solflare) that you want to use, you can import it using your private key.\
  **Only do this with extreme caution and if you trust the bot’s security.**

For more details on managing multiple wallets, see the Wallet Management section.

Once you’ve safely stored your private key, we strongly recommend deleting the Telegram message.

Follow the steps below to securely set up your account and get ready for trading.

**Step 3: Deposit SOL into Your Bot Wallet**

To perform transactions, you’ll need SOL in your HunterBot wallet to cover token purchases and network fees.

1. **Get Your Wallet Address:** In the bot, find the option to view your active wallet address (likely in the main menu, under `/settings` > "Wallets", or via a command like `/wallet`).
2. **Send SOL:** Copy the address and send SOL from another wallet (e.g., your main Phantom wallet or a centralized exchange like Binance or Kraken) to this address.
3. **Wait for Confirmation:** Wait a few moments for the transaction to be confirmed on the Solana blockchain. The bot should notify you once the deposit is received, or you can check the balance in the wallet menu.

**Step 4: Initial Settings (Recommended)**

Before trading, it’s a good idea to review some basic settings under `/settings`:

* **Slippage:** Set an initial slippage tolerance (e.g., 1–5% to start, adjust as needed).
* **Fee:** Choose a priority fee (e.g., Medium) to balance cost and speed.
* **MEV Protection:** Make sure it’s enabled (recommended).

***

**Step 5: Explore Other Features**

Now that you’re set up, explore the other powerful features of HunterBot:

* Monitor your Positions.
* Try LP Sniper or Copy Trade (with caution!).
* Set up Limit Orders.
* Share your Referral link.
