> Is Trojan Bot worth using in 2026? Explore its Solana trading features, fees, copy trading problems, user complaints and alternatives.

Trojan Bot (also called Trojan on Solana) is a Telegram trading bot for Solana. Figures attributed to "Trojan says" come from Trojan itself; statements marked "our take" are the authors' opinion; nothing on this page is a speed benchmark we ran ourselves.

## Quick answer: what is Trojan Bot?

- **What it is**: Trojan Bot, also called Trojan on Solana, is a Telegram bot for trading Solana tokens. There's no website or browser extension to install.
- **What it does**: It creates a self-custodial Solana wallet inside Telegram that you fund with SOL. From there you can buy a token by pasting its contract address, copy other wallets, place limit and DCA orders, and snipe new launches.
- **Fees**: 1% of every trade, or 0.9% if you signed up through a referral link. Solana network fees and priority tips are on top.
- **Who it suits**: Traders who only trade Solana, mostly buy and snipe by hand, and are happy keeping their balance in SOL.
- **Main limitations**: It's Solana only, your balance is SOL rather than a stablecoin, and copy trades are only sent after the wallet you follow has confirmed, which one third-party review measured at roughly 2 to 5 seconds later.
- **Why some prefer Dawn (our take)**: Dawn is another Telegram bot. It trades from one USDC balance across eight chains, covers gas up to $5 a trade, and gives you more control over how copy trades are sized and exited. That's why we'd pick it for copy trading, though if you only snipe Solana launches, Trojan still does the job.

## Trojan Bot at a glance

- Where it runs: Telegram (@solana_trojanbot)
- Chains: Solana only
- Balance: SOL
- Trading fee: 1%, or 0.9% with a referral
- Wallets: Self-custodial, exportable
- Volume to date: ~$25B over 140M trades

Trojan says it has done about $25 billion in volume across 140 million trades for 2 million users, most of it during the pump.fun run of 2024.

## Trojan Bot features

- **Copy trading**: Paste a wallet address and Trojan mirrors its buys and sells. You set how much SOL goes into each copy, a max position size, and take-profit or stop-loss levels. You can follow several wallets at once.
- **Limit and DCA orders**: Limit orders wait for your price even with Telegram closed. DCA splits a buy or sell into smaller pieces over time, which helps when you don't want to move a whole bag in one go.
- **Auto-sniper and migration sniper**: The sniper buys new tokens the second they launch, based on filters you set. The migration sniper does the same when a token graduates from a launchpad into a real liquidity pool.
- **Trenches**: A live feed of fresh launchpad tokens with basic stats and a one-tap buy button. Trojan says it refreshes every 0.04 seconds.
- **Multi-wallet and bundle buys**: Run several wallets from one chat, move funds between them, and buy from all of them at once.
- **MEV protection**: Sends your swaps through a private route so sandwich bots can't see them coming and trade in front of you.
- **Backup bots**: Nine copies of the main bot (Achilles, Odysseus, Hector and the rest of the Iliad) so you can keep trading when the main one is busy or down.
- **Referrals**: Up to 45% of your referrals' fees across five layers. Trojan says it has paid out more than $65 million this way.

## How to use Trojan Bot

1. **Start the official bot**: Open Trojan from the link on trojanonsolana.com rather than searching Telegram, then press Start. Fake Trojan bots are common, so check you're in @solana_trojanbot.
2. **Fund your wallet**: Trojan creates a Solana wallet for you when you start. Send SOL to its address. That SOL is your trading balance, and it also pays network fees.
3. **Buy a token**: Paste the token's contract address into the chat and choose how much SOL to spend. Copy the address from a source you trust, since look-alike tokens are everywhere.
4. **Set up copy trading**: Add the wallet address you want to follow, then set how much SOL goes into each copy, a max position size, and take-profit or stop-loss levels before you switch it on. Start small while you see how the copies fill.

## Trojan Bot problems

- **Copy trades land late**: Trojan waits for the wallet you follow to confirm on-chain before sending your trade. One [third-party Trojan review](https://madeonsol.com/blog/trojan-bot-review) measured that at around 2 to 5 seconds.
- **No multichain**: Trojan is Solana only, so Base, BNB Chain and HyperEVM need another bot. With no USDC balance, your cash between trades is SOL that moves with the market.
- **Not moving much (our take)**: The feature list looks a lot like it did a year ago, while newer bots have shipped multichain trading, gas sponsorship and more copy trading controls.

## Trojan Bot complaints on YouTube

We read roughly 760 comments under 32 popular Trojan tutorials and reviews on YouTube by hand in October 2026. Most were setup questions. The page quotes five complaints verbatim, each linked to the original comment: a sell that failed during copy trading, copy trading missing buys, a limit order that didn't fill, and two about fees. These are individual users' unverified reports, selected because they were complaints, so they don't show how common any problem is.

## Is Trojan Bot safe?

Trojan is a real, widely used bot, and its wallets are self-custodial. The risks are the ones that come with any Telegram trading bot.

- **Wallet security**: Trojan's wallets are self-custodial and you can export the private key, so the funds are yours rather than held in an exchange account. But the bot has to be able to sign trades for you, so treat it as a hot wallet: anyone who gets into your Telegram account can trade with it.
- **Private keys and hot-wallet risk**: Export your private key once, store it offline, and never paste it anywhere. Keep only what you're actively trading in the bot, move profits out to a wallet you control, and turn on two-step verification in Telegram.
- **Fake bots and fake support**: Impersonators are the biggest risk around Trojan. Only use links from trojanonsolana.com. Nobody legitimate will DM you first, ask for your private key or seed phrase, or ask you to send funds to fix a problem.
- **Trading risk**: The bot doesn't make memecoins safer. Prices move in seconds, copy trading copies losses as faithfully as wins, and users report sells and limit orders that didn't fill. MEV protection helps against sandwich bots, not against a token going to zero.

## The Trojan Bot alternative we'd pick: Dawn

[Dawn](https://www.dawn.trade/) is also a Telegram bot. It gives you one USDC balance you can trade from on 8 chains (Solana, Base, BNB Chain, HyperEVM, Robinhood Chain, Arc, Ink, NEAR), with no bridging or network switching.

- **Faster copy trading**: Dawn is built to land your copies closer to the wallet you follow. That's Dawn's pitch, not something we've benchmarked ourselves.
- **Gas covered**: Dawn pays the network fees. No SOL, BNB or ETH needed to trade.
- **Cashback and referrals**: Part of every fee comes back to you, and you earn from the people you invite.

If you only snipe Solana launches by hand and are happy holding SOL, Trojan still does that job.

## Trojan Bot vs Dawn

| --- | --- | --- |
| Trading balance | SOL | USDC |
| Chains | Solana | Solana, Base, BNB Chain, HyperEVM, Robinhood Chain, Arc, Ink, NEAR |
| Gas | Paid by you, in SOL | Covered up to $5 a trade |

## Switching from Trojan Bot to Dawn

1. **Start the bot**: Open @DawnTradeBot in Telegram and hit start. Your wallet is created on the spot.
2. **Fund it**: Send funds from any supported chain. Coming from Trojan? Withdraw your SOL to your Dawn deposit address and it's converted to USDC.

## Trojan Bot FAQ

### What is Trojan Bot?

Trojan Bot, also called Trojan on Solana, is a Telegram bot for trading Solana tokens. It creates a wallet for you inside Telegram, you fund it with SOL, and you can buy, sell, snipe launches and copy other wallets without leaving the chat.

### Is Trojan Bot safe to use?

It has been running since 2024, has handled billions in volume, and the wallets are self-custodial, so you can export your keys. The usual Telegram bot risks still apply. Anyone who gets into your Telegram account can trade your funds, and fake Trojan bots are common, so only use links from trojanonsolana.com.

### How much does Trojan Bot charge?

1% of every trade, or 0.9% if you signed up through a referral link. Solana network fees and priority tips are on top of that.

### Does Trojan Bot have a USDC balance?

No. Trojan trades out of SOL. You can buy USDC like any other token, but your trading balance, your gas and the proceeds of your sells are all SOL.

### Why do my Trojan Bot copy trades fill at a worse price?

Because they land after the trade you're copying. Trojan waits for the leader's transaction to confirm and then sends yours, which one third-party review measured at roughly 2 to 5 seconds. On a fast-moving memecoin the price can move a lot in that time.

### Is Dawn better than Trojan Bot?

Yes, even if you only copy trade on Solana. Trojan waits for the wallet you follow to confirm before it sends your copy, which one review measured at 2 to 5 seconds. Dawn is faster, landing your copies closer to the leader's price, and gives you far more control over how copies are sized and exited. It also pays your gas up to $5 a trade and gives you one USDC balance across eight chains when you want to go beyond Solana. If you only ever snipe Solana launches, Trojan is still usable.

### Can I use Dawn just for Solana?

Yes. Your Dawn balance is USDC on Solana, so Solana trades have no extra routing cost. The other chains are there when you want them.
