# Polymarket Telegram bots: where the keys live

> Kreo, PolyGun, PolyCop and Polycule compared on who holds the keys, deposits, copy trading and fees, plus a Polymarket mini app where you sign each trade.


A Polymarket Telegram bot puts prediction-market trading inside a Telegram chat: you open the bot, it creates a trading wallet for you, you fund that wallet, and the bot places your trades, including copies of other wallets' trades. This page compares the four bots with their own public documentation as of October 2026 (Kreo, PolyGun, PolyCop and Polycule) on one question: where the signing key lives and what you have to deposit. It then covers the Polymarket mini app inside Cherry, the wallet-to-wallet messenger and community app for crypto (web app at chat.cherry.fun, iOS, Android and the Solana dApp Store), where each trade is signed in your own Solana wallet. It is written for traders who already use Polymarket and want to know what they hand over when they trade from a chat.

## How we picked these Polymarket Telegram bots

Three conditions decided the list, and each bot had to meet all of them in October 2026: the bot was live on Telegram, it had its own public documentation (a docs site or a FAQ on its own site), and that documentation stated how the trading wallet is created and who controls it. Bots that only appear in referral roundups were left out.

Why custody is the axis: all four bots run copy trading, and copy trading means the bot places trades from your wallet while you are asleep. That only works if the bot's systems can sign for that wallet without asking you each time. The balance in that wallet is what is exposed if those systems, or your Telegram account, are compromised.

## Kreo

Kreo runs as a Telegram bot (@KreoPolyBot) and a web app, and its documentation covers Polymarket and Kalshi. Opening the bot creates a wallet for you through Privy. Kreo's security page says Privy keeps the wallets in enclaves away from the trading layer, so that Kreo itself never directly touches your funds, and a documented Export Key step in Kreo Hub lets you take the key to another wallet.

You fund it by card through Coinbase, with USDC.e or pUSD sent directly on Polygon, or by bridging from ETH, SOL, BTC and other chains; the minimum deposit is $2. Trading modes are manual, copy trading of chosen wallets, and rule-based auto trading for crypto and sports markets. The fee published as of October 2026 is charged per share on a curve: max(0.003, 0.07 × price × (1 − price)), so about $0.0063 per share at 10¢ or 90¢ and $0.0175 at 50¢, plus 0.3% on redeems.

Fit: the only bot here that documents Kalshi as well, with a full docs site covering wallets, fees and key export.

## PolyGun

PolyGun (@PolyGunSniperBot) is a Telegram bot for trading Polymarket. Its FAQ says the bot generates "a safe wallet for you" on /start, that "You fully control your funds and wallet", and that the wallet "can also be exported at any time." The same answer says PolyGun "executes trades on your behalf when you place orders or enable copy trading."

Deposits are bridged in from Polygon, Solana, Ethereum or BNB. Copy trading replicates a chosen wallet's entries and exits by your settings, and limit orders are listed among the features. PolyGun's docs say it now charges a dynamic fee that depends on the probability of the outcome you buy, on top of Polymarket's own fees; the FAQ on its site still lists 1% on each buy and sell.

Fit: deposits bridged from Solana or BNB as well as Polygon and Ethereum, with a full docs site.

## PolyCop

PolyCop (@PolyCop_BOT) is a Telegram bot built around copying Polymarket wallets, with limit-order copying and an unattended auto-trade mode. PolyCop creates a dedicated wallet for you; its docs describe an "Export Private Key" step so you can import that wallet into MetaMask and see it on Polymarket's own site, and importing a key you already hold is supported too. Withdrawals go to any Polygon address you enter.

Deposits are USDC or USDT on Polygon, Ethereum, Arbitrum, OP, Base or BSC, and creating a copy trade needs at least $50. The fee published as of October 2026 is a flat 0.5%, deducted from your balance once your accumulated volume reaches $600, and PolyCop pays the gas on redeems.

Fit: a flat 0.5% rate, and deposits from six chains.

## Polycule

Polycule (@polycule_trade_bot) sets up a Polygon wallet when you send /start, and its /wallet command shows balances with an option to export your private key. You fund it with POL for gas and USDC.e for trading, or bridge in from Solana through deBridge, where Polycule says it adds no charge of its own. Copy trading has a copy mode and a counter mode that takes the opposite side of the wallet you track, and the bot can be added to a Telegram group, where it posts members' trades. Polycule's pages state no trading fee.

Polycule is also the reason this page leads with custody. ChainCatcher reported on 8 January 2026, citing the team's announcement, that the bot had been attacked, that about $230,000 of user funds was affected, and that affected users on Polygon would be compensated from the treasury. Polycule's own incident report says the attacker came in through a compromised third-party library on its withdrawal server and redirected withdrawals to wallets the attacker controlled. The same report says all user balances were restored to pre-hack levels, private keys moved to Turnkey's hardware enclaves, the team engaged Sherlock for a security audit, and, as of October 2026, the service is fully operational.

Fit: the only bot here whose docs describe posting trades into a Telegram group. Read the incident report before funding it.

## Cherry: the Polymarket mini app

Cherry comes at the problem from the chat side, and it is not a Telegram bot. The Polymarket mini app opens inside Cherry chats (handle @predict), and you trade from the wallet you signed in with. There is no wallet created for a bot and no deposit address to keep topped up.

The flow, as the app shows it in October 2026: find an event with "Search events", pick the side (YES or NO), and type a stake in the field labelled "Amount in USDC". The sheet shows "Price per share", "Est. shares" and "Max payout" before you press Buy YES or Buy NO. Your wallet then opens ("Confirm in your wallet…"), and each buy, each early close and each claim after a win is a Solana transaction you sign. Positions sit under "My positions", where an open one can be closed before the market resolves.

[Polymarket on Cherry](https://chat.cherry.fun/@predict)

The Polymarket room had 1,485 members, 318 messages and 4.8 stars from 4 reviews in October 2026. What Cherry lacks, plainly: it is not on Telegram, the mini app takes Solana and USDC only, and the mini app has no copy trading for prediction trades and no way to mirror another wallet's trades, so every position is one you open yourself. Using Cherry is free.

Fit: choose it when you hold USDC on Solana and want every trade to need your own signature. More on how it works is on the [prediction markets on Solana](https://cherry.fun/learn/features/prediction-markets-on-solana/) page and in the [Polymarket on Solana](https://cherry.fun/learn/guides/polymarket-on-solana/) guide.

## Which one to pick

Start with custody. If you want copy trading, you are choosing a bot-created wallet whichever bot you pick, so choose on terms and deposit chain. PolyCop suits deposits from Arbitrum, OP or Base and charges a flat 0.5%. PolyGun suits funding from BNB Chain or Solana with one bot that takes both. Kreo is the pick if you also trade Kalshi, and Polycule if you want trades posted into a Telegram group. Then treat the bot wallet as a hot wallet: fund it per session, export the key, and open bots only from the handle on the bot's own site (the checks in [is a crypto Telegram group official](https://cherry.fun/learn/guides/is-a-crypto-telegram-group-official/) apply to bots too).

If you want every trade to wait for your own signature, and your USDC is on Solana, use the Polymarket mini app inside Cherry and give up copy trading for predictions. The [Telegram trading bot comparison](https://cherry.fun/learn/compare/telegram-trading-bot-alternatives/) applies the same test to Solana token bots, and [is it safe to connect your wallet](https://cherry.fun/learn/guides/is-it-safe-to-connect-your-wallet/) covers what a signature can and cannot do.

None of these options changes where you may trade. As of October 2026, the mini app's trade sheet says: "By trading, you agree to the Terms of Use, including that you are not (i) a U.S. person and (ii) located in the United States, France or other restricted territory." Polymarket's geoblock page lists the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Australia and Singapore, among others, as close-only, which means existing positions can be closed but no new ones opened. Rules differ by country. Nothing here is financial advice.

## FAQ

### Are Polymarket Telegram bots safe?

They carry one risk you accept by design. Kreo, PolyGun, PolyCop and Polycule each create a trading wallet for you and trade from it with a key the bot's own systems can use, so no trade waits for a signature from your own wallet, which is what makes copy trading possible. Whatever sits in that wallet is exposed if the bot's systems or your Telegram account are compromised, as Polycule's January 2026 hack showed. Keep the balance small, export the key where the bot documents it, and only open bots from the handle listed on the bot's own site.

### Can I copy trade Polymarket from a chat?

From a Telegram bot, yes: Kreo, PolyGun, PolyCop and Polycule all document copy trading, where the bot mirrors a chosen wallet's trades using your sizing rules. The Polymarket mini app inside Cherry has no copy trading and no way to mirror another wallet's predictions; you open each position yourself and sign it in your own wallet.

### Do I need a Polygon wallet?

Not for the Polymarket mini app inside Cherry: it takes a Solana wallet and a USDC amount, and you sign each trade there. Polymarket's own site uses its own wallet setup. The Telegram bots in this list create a trading wallet for you and take deposits on Polygon or bridge them in from other chains.

### What happened to Polycule?

Polycule's Telegram bot was hacked in January 2026. ChainCatcher reported on 8 January 2026, citing the team's announcement, that about $230,000 of user funds was affected and that affected users on Polygon would be compensated from the treasury. Polycule's own incident report says all user balances were restored to pre-hack levels, keys now sit with Turnkey's hardware enclaves, and the service is fully operational.

### What is the best Polymarket Telegram bot?

It depends on the fee model and the chain you deposit from. As of October 2026, PolyCop publishes a flat 0.5% fee and takes USDC or USDT from six chains, PolyGun prices fees on a curve by the outcome's probability and bridges from Polygon, Solana, Ethereum and BNB, Kreo prices fees per share by the odds and also covers Kalshi, and Polycule states no fee. All four trade from a wallet the bot creates for you, so choose on terms, then keep the balance small.
