@layerhop_bot is LayerHop's non-custodial Telegram bot: it quotes swaps and bridges through the LayerHop API, then gives you a link to finish the swap in your own wallet on layerhop.com/swap. The bot never creates wallets, never holds funds and never asks for a private key or seed phrase.

How does a swap through the bot work?#

  1. You ask for a quote with /quote or build one step by step with /swap.
  2. The bot shows the best route, up to three alternatives, the minimum received, the estimated time and the LayerHop fee.
  3. You tap Swap in your wallet ↗. It opens a deep link such as https://layerhop.com/swap?srcChain=base&srcToken=USDC&dstChain=solana&dstToken=SOL&amount=100&ref=bot, with everything prefilled.
  4. You connect your wallet on layerhop.com, review the live quote and sign. Then follow the order with /track.

Which commands are there?#

Command What it does
/start, /help How LayerHop works, the non-custodial promise and safety tips
/quote <amount> <token> <chain> to <token> <chain> Indicative quote with the best route and alternatives. Buttons: Swap in your wallet ↗ and Refresh. → and -> work in place of to.
/swap Step-by-step builder with buttons: source chain, token, destination chain, token, then type the amount
/status <provider> <txhash> One-off order status with an explorer link
/track <provider> <txhash> Follows the order until it is final (up to 30 minutes), editing one message on each change. Has a Stop button. Up to 3 tracked orders per chat.
/chains Supported chains and their aliases
/tokens <chain> Tokens on a chain with addresses and decimals

Example:

Text
/quote 100 USDC base to SOL solana
/quote 0.5 eth arb -> usdc base
/track relay 0x3f1e…4d3e2f

How do I write chains, tokens and providers?#

Input Accepted forms
Amount Human units, . as the decimal separator (100, 0.5)
Chain Slug, name or numeric id of any supported chain; aliases such as eth, arb, op, bnb/bsc, matic/pol, sol
Token A symbol from the built-in token list (case-insensitive) or an exact address / mint. MATIC on Polygon means POL.
Provider (/status, /track) relay, debridge, lifi, jupiter, zerox, kyberswap, mayan, plus aliases 0x, li.fi, jup, dln

What does the bot charge?#

Swaps that start from the bot use the bot fee channel: 0.90% of the input amount, shown on every quote before you sign. The deep link carries ref=bot, which tells the swap app to use that channel. See Fees & channels.

Is the bot safe to use?#

  • It is non-custodial: you sign every transaction in your own wallet on layerhop.com. The bot cannot move funds.
  • It never asks for a seed phrase or private key. Anyone who does is a scammer.
  • LayerHop staff never message you first.
  • Quotes in Telegram are indicative. The price you sign is the live quote on layerhop.com; use Refresh for an updated quote in chat.
