BSCWatchBot

Simple Telegram bot to monitor BNB Smart Chain addresses. The bot is available @BSCWatchBot.

Commands:

  • /start - displays a greeting
  • /watch (address) - starts monitoring an address
  • /forget (address) - stops monitoring an address
  • /list - lists the currently monitored addresses

The bot is using the bscscan API. In order to avoid service abuse it checks the addresses every 1 minute. It stops watching an address after 24 hours.

To run a Markdown file using Docker, you can follow these steps:

Build the Docker image by running the following command in the terminal:

docker build -t bsc-watcher .

Once the image is built, you can run a Docker container from it using the following command:

docker run -d --name bsc-watcher -v $(pwd)/watch.db:/app/watch.db bsc-watcher

To-do

This current version is a very barebone MVP, and there's a lot more to do:

  • Porting it to Web3.js so the API limitations don't apply. Turned out watching an address with Web3.js is a pain.
  • Implementing a database, so the watchlist is not dropped every time the bot is restarted.
  • Implementing a /forget command.
