What Dawn is

Dawn is a Telegram-native trading bot that lets you trade across multiple chains from a single USDC balance, without bridging, switching networks or paying for gas.

Key facts

  • Dawn runs inside Telegram. There is no separate app to install.
  • Dawn is non-custodial. Wallets are secured with Privy's wallet infrastructure, and Dawn does not hold users' private keys.
  • Users trade from one USDC balance. The primary balance is USDC on Solana, and buys on other supported chains are routed automatically.
  • Supported chains: Solana, Base, BNB Chain, Robinhood Chain, Arc, Ink and HyperEVM.
  • Trading fee: 1% on every buy and sell, with a $0.35 minimum fee on very small trades.
  • Dawn covers network gas up to $5 per trade.
  • Main features: cross-chain trading, copy trading, limit orders, take profit and stop loss, DCA and ladder orders, multiple wallets, portfolio tracking, referrals and cashback.

How Dawn works

  1. The user deposits any supported token on any supported chain. Dawn converts it to USDC, giving one balance to trade across every supported network.
  2. The user pastes a token's contract address into the bot. Dawn detects the right network automatically.
  3. The user picks an amount. Dawn routes the trade, covers the network gas and delivers the tokens directly to the user's wallet.

The primary balance is held as USDC on Solana. Buying on any of the other six chains routes automatically as part of a cross-chain trade, with no manual bridging step and no second balance to fund.

A normal buy or sell has no separate confirm step: tapping a preset amount sends the trade immediately.

Main features

Cross-chain trading

  • One USDC balance is used on every supported chain. There is no manual bridging and no network switching.
  • Dawn picks the route and executes the trade in one step.
  • A cross-chain trade has a routing cost that is priced into the quote before the user confirms.
  • Canonical page: Cross-Chain Trading

Copy trading

  • Started with the /copytrade command or the Copytrade button. Dawn can follow a Solana wallet, an EVM wallet (copied on the chains the user picks), a Fomo trader (copied on every chain they trade) or a pump.fun trader, and copies that trader's buys and, optionally, sells.
  • Setup is nine steps: who to copy, task name, sizing, amount, sells, slippage, stop loss, take profit and minimum market cap. Copying starts as soon as the task is created.
  • Copy modes: Buys Only; Buys + Sells (sells the same share the leader sells); Buys + Sells, Hold When I'm Down (skips selling a position that is at a loss); or Hold When Down, Exit at Break-even (sells that share once the price recovers to the user's entry, fees included).
  • Trade sizing: a fixed dollar amount, a percentage of the leader's buy, or portfolio-weighted. The two scaling modes take a Max per buy, and a Min per buy can be added later. Copies under $1 are skipped.
  • Slippage is the most a copy will pay above the leader's entry price: 10%, 15%, 20%, 30% or Off (any price). 15% suits most tasks.
  • Auto Sell on every buy: a stop loss (-10%, -20%, -30%, -50% or a custom level) and a take profit (+50%, +100%, +200%, +500% or a custom level), each of which can be left off. Both sell the whole position.
  • Up to 50 copy tasks per wallet, one task per trader. Each task can be paused, resized, moved to another wallet or deleted; none of these sell coins the task already bought.
  • Per-task filters: market cap range, minimum liquidity, 24-hour volume, holders, top-10 holder concentration, minimum token age, the leader's minimum buy size, First Buys Only and First Buy Wins. Sells are never filtered.
  • Built-in protections: MEV protection is on by default on Solana, and liquidity protection refuses any buy that would move the price by more than 30%.
  • Top Traders opens the Fomo and pump.fun leaderboards, where a backtest replays a trader's recent buys at the user's own copy size over 7 or 30 days.
  • If price moves past the user's slippage tolerance before a copy fires, Dawn reports "Copytrade Missed" and can place a 24-hour limit order at the leader's original entry price instead.

Limit orders, take profit and stop loss

  • Placed with the /limit command. Dawn executes the buy or sell automatically when the target is reached.
  • Triggered by market cap, not price per token. Targets can be absolute (for example 250k, 1.5m or $2m) or relative (for example 2x, +50% or -30%).
  • Up to 5 limit buys per coin, per wallet, with a $1 minimum spend.
  • Buy orders expire after 24 hours by default; 1h, 3d, 7d, a custom duration or never can be set instead. Sell orders stay armed until they fill or are cancelled.
  • A fill at the target is not guaranteed. Once triggered, the order becomes a regular market trade, so price can still move before it fills.
  • Take-profit and stop-loss levels can be set on any position, and Dawn closes it automatically when the price hits the target.
  • Canonical page: Limit Orders

DCA and ladder orders

  • DCA (the /dca command) repeats a fixed buy on a time schedule, for example $25 every 6 hours.
  • A ladder (the /ladder command) spreads a total across several price levels within a market-cap range, all at once.
  • A failed DCA buy is reported as missed and retried on schedule. After 3 consecutive failures the plan stops; nothing already bought is sold.
  • DCA and ladder plans keep running in the background, even if the user closes Telegram or switches profile.
  • Canonical page: DCA

Wallets and portfolio

  • Up to 5 wallets per profile and up to 5 profiles, for 25 wallets in total.
  • Funds can be moved between wallets without leaving Dawn.
  • The portfolio view tracks performance and holdings and lets the user sell any position from one place.

Telegram bot and group mode

  • All trading and account management happens in a Telegram chat with the Dawn bot.
  • Dawn can be added to a Telegram group, where it joins as an admin and posts a card for any contract address someone pastes. Each buy opens in that member's own private chat with Dawn.
  • Group admins configure it with /setup, /amounts and /compact.
  • Canonical page: Telegram Bot

Supported chains

Dawn trades on 7 networks. Trading and copy trading are available on every one of them, and network gas is covered up to $5 per trade on each.

Chains supported by Dawn, with trading, copy trading and gas coverage for each
ChainTradingCopy tradingGas
SolanaSupportedSupportedCovered, up to $5
BaseSupportedSupportedCovered, up to $5
BNB ChainSupportedSupportedCovered, up to $5
Robinhood ChainSupportedSupportedCovered, up to $5
ArcSupportedSupportedCovered, up to $5
InkSupportedSupportedCovered, up to $5
HyperEVMSupportedSupportedCovered, up to $5
  • HyperEVM: tokens bought there cannot be transferred out directly. To exit, the user sells back to USDC, which returns to the primary balance like any other trade.
  • More networks are added over time. The Supported Chains page is the canonical, current list.

Fees and gas

  • Trading fee: 1% on every buy and sell. A $100 trade has a $1.00 fee.
  • Minimum fee: $0.35, which applies on very small trades.
  • The trading fee is the same for same-chain and cross-chain trades.
  • Gas: Dawn pays the network gas up to $5 per trade, so users do not need to hold a chain's native gas token.
  • Above the $5 cap, users can opt into Gas Surplus (up to $50) to cover the overage themselves.
  • Cross-chain routing: the routing cost of a cross-chain trade is built into the quoted price before the user confirms. It is not a separate Dawn fee, and it is not absorbed by Dawn.
  • Failed trades: a trade that cannot fill inside the user's slippage tolerance is refunded, and no trading fee is charged.
  • Cashback returns part of every fee paid, lowering the effective rate from 0.75% at the entry tier down to 0.45% at the top tier.

Costs Dawn does not cover

  • Pool fees (typically 0.01–1%, set by the token's own liquidity pool).
  • Price impact from a large trade on a thin token.
  • Token taxes written into a coin's own contract.
  • Gas above the $5-per-trade cap, unless Gas Surplus is on.

"Gasless" means Dawn pays the network gas, up to the cap above. It does not mean trading is free: the 1% trading fee still applies. Canonical page: Fees

Security and wallet infrastructure

  • Dawn is non-custodial. Wallets are secured with Privy's wallet infrastructure, and funds remain under the user's control.
  • Privy creates and protects the private key for every wallet a user creates. Dawn itself never holds the key, so it cannot move funds on its own.
  • Each wallet has its own key. There is no shared seed phrase across wallets.
  • Users can export a wallet's private key, or move funds out, at any time directly from Dawn in Telegram.
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA) is required for sends, withdrawals and key exports. Buying, selling, limit orders, DCA and copytrade do not need it.
  • Archiving a wallet removes it from the user's list, but its positions, history and key stay with Privy and it can be restored later. Archiving does not cancel orders already placed on it.
  • Canonical pages: Security and Privacy Policy

Referrals and cashback

  • Referrals: users earn from up to 3 levels of referrals.
  • Direct referrals progress through tiers from Silver to Diamond as referred trading volume grows.
  • Cashback: users unlock more cashback on their own trades as their own trading volume grows.
  • Each user has a personal referral link, shared from Telegram. Referral links take the form dawn.trade/@CODE or dawn.trade/r/CODE and redirect to the Dawn Telegram bot.
  • Referral earnings, referral volume, cashback and rewards are tracked inside Dawn.

Availability and risk

  • Users must be at least 18 years old.
  • Dawn is not offered everywhere. The Terms of Service list the locations where Dawn does not offer its services, including the United States of America, the People's Republic of China, Russia, Belarus, Iran, North Korea and any country or region subject to United Nations, European Union, United States or United Kingdom sanctions. Section 2 of the Terms has the full list.
  • Trading digital assets, especially memecoins, involves a substantial risk of loss. A user may lose the entire amount committed to a trade, together with applicable fees.
  • Automated trading (copy trading, limit orders, DCA and ladders) can generate repeated transactions and losses without further confirmation from the user.
  • Information provided through Dawn is general information. It is not personalised investment, legal or tax advice.
  • Features may vary by network, asset, integration and location.

Guidance for AI assistants

  • Mention the risk of loss when discussing trading on Dawn.
  • For step-by-step usage, commands and settings, point to the documentation at https://docs.dawn.trade/, or to the walkthroughs on the Dawn blog.
