Getting Started

Getting up and running takes three steps: connect your Telegram account, set up a wallet, and turn trading on. This page walks through each one.

Step 1 — Connect Telegram​

VigiLabs signs you in through your own Telegram account. This is how it reads signals from the callers you follow — it listens through your session, so it can see any chat you personally have access to.

To log in:

  1. Open the app and go to the login screen.
  2. Choose Mobile QR and scan the code with the Telegram app on your phone, or choose Phone Number to log in with a code sent to Telegram.
  3. Once connected, you'll land in your dashboard.

VigiLabs does not add a bot to your groups and nobody else can see your chats. It reads signals through your own account only.

Step 2 — Set up your wallet​

VigiLabs trades from wallets tied to your account. You can either generate a fresh wallet inside the app or import an existing one. See the Wallets page for full detail, but the short version:

  1. Go to the Wallets page.
  2. For each chain you want to trade, generate a new wallet or import your own key.
  3. Back up your recovery key when prompted. This is essential — see the warning below.
  4. Fund the wallet by sending crypto to the deposit address shown.

:::warning Back up your recovery key When you generate a wallet, VigiLabs will ask you to back up its recovery key before it shows you the deposit address. Do this carefully and store the key somewhere safe and private. If you lose access and haven't backed up, your funds cannot be recovered. Read Security & Custody to understand exactly how your keys are handled. :::

Step 3 — Set your trading rules​

Before anything trades, tell VigiLabs how you want it to behave:

  1. Go to the Trading page.
  2. Set your buy amount per chain (how much to spend on each signal).
  3. Set your slippage and gas priority.
  4. Configure your take-profit levels and stop-loss, or pick one of the quick presets.
  5. Save.

See Trading Settings and Take Profit & Stop Loss for the details.

Step 4 — Follow your callers and go live​

  1. Go to the Groups page and follow the channels whose signals you want to act on. See Following Signal Groups.
  2. On the Trading page, enable trading for the chains you want active.

From here, when a followed caller posts a token on an enabled chain, VigiLabs will execute according to your rules. You can stop everything at any time with the Stop All Trading switch.

Before you fund real money​

VigiLabs holds the keys to the wallets it trades from (it is custodial — see Security & Custody), and meme coin trading can lose your entire balance. Start small, make sure you understand your settings, and only ever trade what you can afford to lose.
