What is Alkanex

Alkanes are smart-contract tokens that live on Bitcoin L1. Alkanex is a Telegram bot that lets you trade them in a couple of taps, with no extension, no separate app, and no desktop wallet.

You open it like any Telegram chat. The bot creates a Bitcoin wallet for you, and you trade by tapping buttons. There is no seed phrase to handle before your first trade, no browser pop-ups to sign, and no jargon required to get started. The bot quotes the trade, builds the Bitcoin transaction, signs it, and broadcasts it for you.

Why Alkanex

• Trade by tapping, not signing. Paste a token id or open one you hold, choose an amount, and confirm. The bot quotes, builds, signs, and broadcasts the Bitcoin transaction for you. There is no wallet pop-up and no transaction to sign by hand. Some trades add one safety confirmation by design (see Built-in protection below).
• Pay with the frBTC you already hold, or fund with BTC. frBTC is the wrapped form of BTC that pools trade in. Fund with BTC and it stays as BTC. When you buy, the bot wraps exactly what the trade needs, so you never wrap by hand. If you already hold frBTC, a buy spends that directly.
• DIESEL mined straight to you. On buys and normal swaps, Alkanex can also mine DIESEL into your own wallet in the same transaction, 100% yours, kept on by default. It is not skimmed by the bot and it adds only a small amount to the network fee. You can turn it off in Settings. Mining applies to buys and normal swaps, not sells, and your operator enables the feature account-wide.
• Smart routing for the best real output. If a token has no direct frBTC pool, the bot searches paths through other pools (up to a few hops) and routes for the best amount you actually receive, not simply the fewest hops, with a tie-break toward the deepest liquidity.
• Multiple wallets. Create several wallets, switch your default one, and label them. Useful for separating strategies or positions.
• Share your PnL. Turn any position into a branded PnL image card and post it. It renders from your real numbers, one tap from the position card.
• Built-in protection. Set a slippage limit and a network-fee cap, and the bot interposes a hard confirmation on high-impact trades, hard-to-exit tokens, and large trades before it signs. And because of how the swap is built on-chain, a reverted swap returns your frBTC to your wallet, and the bot refuses to record a zero-delivery as a successful buy. Your funds are not lost if a swap reverts.
• Your language. English and 中文, auto-detected from your Telegram language on first contact and switchable any time in Settings.
• Non-KYC. No account and no identity check. The only identity is your Telegram user id, and a wallet is gated solely by a terms confirmation. You trade at your own risk.

How custody works (the short version)

Alkanex is custodial by default. The bot generates a Bitcoin wallet for you and signs your trades, which is what makes the experience one-tap. Your recovery phrase is encrypted and you can reveal it any time, so you can take control of your funds whenever you want. Back it up early: nobody, including the operator, can recover it for you.
