Telegram Monitor
Telegram Monitor pulls messages from a curated list of alpha Telegram channels into a single in-app feed, so you don't have to switch apps to track what alpha groups are posting.
Open it at app.interstate.so/trackers under the Telegram tab.
What you see
Messages from every tracked channel, merged into one timeline and sorted newest-first. Each row shows:
| Field | What it is |
|---|---|
| Channel | Name and handle of the source channel |
| Time | When the message was posted |
| Content | The message body, including links and contract addresses |
| Media | Images or previews where available |
The feed is scoped to the channels in your personal tracked list.
Adding channels
Two ways:
- Browse the preset list. Interstate ships a curated set of approved alpha channels. Add any you want to your feed in one click.
- Add an approved channel by handle. Paste the channel handle. Only channels on Interstate's approved list can be added.
Not every public Telegram channel is supported — the curated list exists to keep the feed focused on high-signal sources and avoid spam-heavy groups.
Remove a channel
Click the remove button on a channel's row in your tracked list. It stops appearing in your feed immediately.
Update cadence
The feed reflects the latest messages Interstate has indexed from each tracked channel. Open the tab to see fresh messages.
There are no push notifications — the monitor is pull-based, read-only, in-app. Use it as a passive feed you check between trades.
What it doesn't do
- No alerts. Nothing notifies you when a channel posts.
- No posting or replies. You can't reply to a channel from inside Interstate.
- No private groups. Only curated, approved public channels.
- No per-message filtering, mentions, or search. Messages render in timeline order.
- No arbitrary channel adds. You're picking from the approved list or browsing presets.
Using the monitor
A common pattern:
- Scan the feed between trades for contract addresses or token names
- Click through or copy the CA into Interstate's search
- Review the token on its trade page and check Token analytics
- Trade it if the setup makes sense
Telegram Monitor is discovery, not execution. It doesn't auto-buy, doesn't hook into Wallet Tracker, and doesn't pre-arm a snipe. All actions are manual.
Combining with other monitors
Traders typically run the three monitors side-by-side on /trackers:
| Tab | Signal source |
|---|---|
| Wallet Tracker | On-chain smart money |
| Twitter / X | Approved alpha accounts, last 15 days |
| Telegram | Curated alpha channels |
Each surfaces a different kind of signal. Cross-referencing them — a wallet you watch buying a token that just appeared in a Telegram channel — is a useful filter against noise in any single source.
Troubleshooting
"Channel not approved" error. The handle isn't in the curated list. Nothing to do from the client side.
Feed is stale. Interstate indexes messages from the source channel with a short delay. Refresh the tab. If a specific channel is silent, it likely just hasn't posted recently.
Media missing for a message. Some media types don't render inline. The full message is still visible.
