The Slate IPA is a bot that watches your chosen Telegram groups for calls (like token symbols, contract addresses, or links) and sends you alerts enriched with extra context (e.g., token price, holder distribution, messages around the call, X sentiment). You control which chats to track and how strict the alert rules are.
Your privacy and operational security (opsec) come first. Slate IPA is designed so you never have to trade safety for speed.
Private, Revocable Telegram Session
The bot launches a private session of your Telegram account solely to read messages in the group you select. It can't post, forward, or join chats on your behalf.
Authenticate through whichever method you trust most:
Telegram QR Code - the official flow built by Telegram.
Open-source authentication script - run locally or in Google Colab (code provided).
Phone number + 2-step verification - Details in Telegram docs under User Authorization or QR code login.
Revoke access instantly: Telegram > Settings > Devices (or my.telegram.org) and terminate the Slate IPA session at any time.
Trusted Execution Environment
The bot is built using a trusted execution environment to ensure secure execution, protecting sensitive data from unauthorized access or tampering.
Zero Data Retention
Messages are streamed, enriched and discarded - no sensitive data is stored.
Transparent Team & Proven Backers
Fully doxxed team with years of crypto-native development:
Reach out to @shirtlessfounder on Telegram with any questions. We will happily provide team verification.
The Slate Team also has a long history of building in crypto without hiccups. Previously, we built Spice Finance in the NFT Finance vertical. At Spice, we:
Managed $250M in NFT loans, generating ~60% APY during a challenging market.
Ranked Top 10 in points-per-ETH efficiency for automated BLUR farming (Season 2).
Sold out a 555-piece NFT collection in just one hour during the bear market.
Bottom Line: Slate IPA only reads the groups you choose, never stores your data, is fully compliant with Telegram's TOS, and can be disconnected in two clicks.
Type /start in a chat with the bot to begin.
Select which onboarding method you'd like to proceed with and following the subsequent in-chat instructions.
Select the groups you want to track from a list the bot shows you (it will fetch all your existing Telegram groups/channels).
Pin the Slate IPA chat so you don't miss out on any notifications.
That’s it! You’re now onboarded, and the bot can read messages from the groups you’ve approved.
You may see the following notification from Telegram shortly after connecting. Do not fret: this is the Slate IPA. Click "Yes, it's me" to dismiss.
Notes: You can revoke this access any time by ending the bot’s session in your Telegram “Active Sessions” (in-app settings).
Below are the main commands you’ll use. Simply type them in your chat with the bot:

You can fine-tune which mentions you receive with in-chat menus and commands:
Channel Mentions
In /settings → Toggle Channel Mentions, you can disable specific groups if you only want alerts when multiple groups mention a token (confluence) or if you just don’t want direct pings from that group.
Mention Threshold
/add_threshold <number>: Set a minimum mention count. For example, 3 means you only get notified after a token is mentioned 3 times within 24 hours.
/remove_threshold <number>: Remove a threshold.
User Filters
Whitelist or Blacklist specific users in a selected chat:
/add_user @username or /remove_user @username after choosing a chat in /settings.
Whitelist → Only those users trigger alerts.
Blacklist → Those users are ignored.
The IPA has several types of alerts in the live notification feed. Here is a breakdown of each of them:
First Confluence:
The first time two unique callers across your tracked groups mentions the same token, you'll receive a notification with the "🥇 CONFL 🥇" header alerting you of first confluence. This notification has additional information that details the following:
[2c | 2m | 1g] = 2 callers, 2 mentions, 1 group
Names of the top 3 callers (🗣️) by elo
Repeat Confluence:
After the first confluence notification, every time a new unique caller across your tracked groups mentions the same token, you'll receive a notification with the "♻️ CONFL ♻️" header alerting you of repeat confluence.
Cabal Alert:
If a token is mentioned by 3+ unique users and only 1 tracked group, you'll receive a ntoification with the "⚠️ CABAL ⚠️" header alerting you that the mentioned token is a potential cabal token.
Relevant Commands:
/callerleaderboard - Check global leaderboard (across all IPA users) of the best performing callers visible to the IPA.
/elodistribution - Better understand the relative distribution of elo scores.
/callerstats [caller username] - Gives a breakdown of a caller's recent scores.
/call - Logs a call you've made in a group chat as a call (vs. a scan) to be counted in your elo score.
Didn’t Receive a Code?
Double-check your Telegram client or try /start again if you entered a wrong phone number.
Having a Hard Time Entering the Code?
Make sure you're adding a space somewhere between two of the digits in your five digit code from Telegram. Try /start again and do so.
No Alerts?
Make sure you have at least one group tracked, and that the group indeed has mentions (like $XYZ or 0x...).
You might also have set a high mention threshold.
Overwhelmed by Alerts?
Toggle a group off in /settings.
Increase mention thresholds.
Add certain users to a whitelist or blacklist in each chat.
How many groups can I track?
As many as you’d like, though it’s best to keep it reasonable to avoid notification overload.
How do I get rid of the bot entirely?
Use your in-app Telegram “Active Sessions” to terminate the session. Then you can also delete the bot from your list.
Built on : Slate IPA uses Telegram's documented client API — the same interface available to third-party clients — so it stays fully within Telegram's Terms of Service. The read-only session is yours alone and can be revoked in two clicks.
