MoonHydra is a Telegram bot that lets you trade Solana memecoins through unlimited burner wallets ("Hydra Heads"). Routing goes through Jupiter for best price across every Solana DEX. Pump.fun sniping, copy trading, limit orders, TP/SL automation, and Auto-Buy / Auto-Sell are all live. Phase 3 adds MEV protection via Jito.

Your private keys are AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest with a master key the operator controls. We never log decrypted keys, never echo them back, and recommend you only fund Hydra Heads with amounts you are willing to risk — they are burner wallets, not vaults.

No cap — spawn as many Hydra Heads as you want per Telegram account. Use one for sniping, one for scaling positions, one for longer-term holds — whatever your compartmentalization strategy looks like.

Yes — paste the base58 private key (Phantom / Solflare export) or a Solana CLI keypair JSON. The flow is DM-only, refuses to run in group chats, shows a multi-step warning before you send anything, encrypts the key with AES-256-GCM the instant the bot receives it, and deletes your message. Recommendation: only ever connect burner wallets you accept being entrusted to a trading bot — we do not, and never will, accept seed phrases.

A 1% bot fee per trade, paid in SOL, automatically routed at swap time. No subscriptions, no monthly minimums, no deposit fees. You always pay the standard Solana network priority fee on top.

Buy and sell transactions typically confirm in 2–5 seconds depending on Solana network conditions and priority fee. We default to a 100k µLamport priority fee — tune higher in /settings for hot launches.

Live (Wave 3 + 8). MoonHydra subscribes to Pump.fun pool-creation events via Helius WebSockets. When a launch matches your filters (dev-buy size, hourly + daily caps, balance, metadata, name patterns), the bot auto-buys with your configured size and slippage. Dry-run mode lets you watch the filter chain decide before going live. Raydium parser is in framework-only status (Phase 2.5) pending mainnet verification.

Live (Wave 8). You subscribe to a target wallet. When that wallet buys or sells via any tracked DEX, MoonHydra replicates the trade on your chosen Hydra Head via token-balance diff (DEX-agnostic) with size-scaling and per-trade max caps. Airdrop / honeypot guard rejects free-airdrop mirror attacks (leader must spend ≥0.001 SOL natively for the BUY signal to fire).

Phase 3. Trades will route through Jito Block Engine bundles with a configurable tip. Sandwich bots cannot front-run bundled transactions, so your slippage stays tight on volatile launches.

Not currently. Telegram is the only interface in Phase 1 and 2. Phase 3 ships a web dashboard at moonhydra.com for power users — view positions, configure copy-trade targets, manage limit orders.

Solana only in Phase 1 and 2. Phase 3 adds Base and BSC support with chain-aware wallet generation and per-chain routing.

MoonHydra is operator-managed. A single team runs the Telegram bot, the Helius RPC subscription, the Postgres + Redis backing store, and the hosted infrastructure. Funds are non-custodial — each user has their own AES-256-GCM-encrypted keypair, never pooled with other users — but the operator does maintain the master encryption key that decrypts each wallet only at swap time.

For now, use the /help command inside the bot. A community Telegram group + dedicated support handle are planned for the next ship window.
