Gas Fees Alert Telegram Bot: Never Miss the Cheapest Window

Refreshing dashboards all day is not scalable. The ChainUnified Telegram bot pushes live gas alerts for Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, zkSync, Mantle, Cronos, and more directly to your phone. Here is how to configure it, customize thresholds, and weave alerts into production workflows.

Smartphone receiving Telegram gas fee alerts

Our telemetry powers thousands of automated decisions every day. The ChainUnified Telegram bot is the easiest way to receive those signals in real time, whether you are at your desk or away from a laptop. Subscribe to per-chain alerts, receive priority fee updates, and trigger follow-up workflows instantly.

In this guide we will walk through setup, custom commands, multi-chain routing, and security best practices so your team can rely on Telegram alerts without creating new risks.

Getting Started in Minutes

1. Open Telegram and search for @chainunifiedbot. 2. Tap Start to see the command menu. 3. Use /chains to list supported networks, then subscribe with commands like /gas ethereum or /gas arbitrum. 4. Configure thresholds using /alert chain threshold. For example, /alert ethereum 18 pings you whenever base fees drop below 18 gwei.

The bot connects directly to the same feeds that drive the web dashboards, so numbers match what you see on desktop.

Supported Chains and Commands

The bot covers Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon, BSC, Avalanche, zkSync, Mantle, Cronos, Linea, Scroll, and more. Send /gas chain to retrieve the latest tiers with recommended maxFee and priority tips. Use /subscribe chain low high to receive alerts when fees fall below or rise above specific thresholds.

For fast reference during calls, type /summary to receive a multi-chain snapshot showing the economy tier for every supported network. Pair this with the browser dashboard to validate market-wide conditions in seconds.

Automating Operations With Webhooks

Telegram alerts are great for humans, but you can also connect them to automation. Each alert can hit a webhook in your infrastructure, triggering CI jobs or pausing bots. Combine the bot with the Gas API to build rich pipelines: a Telegram alert notifies the on-call engineer, while the webhook pauses staking distributions until fees normalize.

Teams also configure the bot to send approvals cleanup reminders after calm periods begin. Once your custom threshold fires, jump into Approvals Manager and tidy allowances while gas stays cheap.

Security Best Practices

Add the bot to private groups with multi-sig signers or ops engineers, but restrict permissions so only trusted roles can change alert thresholds. Pair Telegram alerts with signed confirmations: require a second signer to acknowledge the alert inside your Dev Console before executing large transactions.

Avoid sharing sensitive data (like private keys or RPC credentials) in chats. The bot only needs your alert thresholds and chain selections to function.

Use Cases by Team Type

DeFi protocols: Receive alerts before you deploy upgrades or adjust emissions. Coordinate with the Token Deployer to kick off releases the moment fees dip.

Treasuries: Set low-fee notifications on Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Base. When they fire, sweep rewards, rebalance positions in Portfolio Tracker, and log gas expenditure.

Retail communities: Configure a public channel that relays weekend gas alerts so members know when to mint NFTs or migrate liquidity.

Pro Tips for Advanced Users

  • Use /alert chain low high to receive both low-fee and high-fee warnings.
  • Schedule daily digests with /digest 08:00 so the bot sends a summary every morning in your timezone.
  • Pair Telegram alerts with inline commands to query tokens or wallets without leaving the chat.
  • Add the bot to incident response playbooks; when gas spikes unexpectedly, your on-call channel reacts instantly.
