Features

The ChainPatrol Telegram Bot automatically monitors all links shared in your group chat. This feature provides an additional layer of protection for your community:

  • Real-time Scanning: Every link posted in the group is instantly checked against ChainPatrol’s extensive database of known scams and malicious URLs.
  • Automatic Alerts: If a potentially harmful link is detected, the bot immediately notifies the group, warning members about the potential risk.
  • Proactive Protection: This feature helps prevent scams before they can affect your community members, even if no moderators are actively monitoring the group.

​
Privacy

The bot does not collect any personal information. It only collects the URL and the Telegram ID of the user that submitted the report (in case a moderator needs more information about why the URL is a scam). The bot does not store any sensitive information about the group it is added to.

The ChainPatrol Telegram bot is like any group user. You can adjust permissions according to your group’s needs.
