Learn Trojan, safely

Trojan is a third-party trading tool for tokens on the Solana blockchain. It comes in two forms that are made by the same team:

• Trojan web terminal (trojan.com): a website with charts, token info and a trade panel. You sign up with a wallet (for example Phantom), a passkey or Google. It also works in your phone browser, and you can add it to your home screen.
• Trojan on Solana Telegram bot (@solana_trojanbot and official backups): you trade by chatting with a bot. You press START, the bot shows your Trojan wallet address, and you paste a token's contract address to bring up buy and sell buttons.

Either way, Trojan holds trading wallets for you inside the app. Treat any SOL you put there like cash in your pocket: only keep what you're prepared to lose.

Scammers copy popular trading bots with lookalike names and logos. If you connect to a fake, it can take everything in your wallet.

Official Telegram bots

According to trojanonsolana.com/links, these are the official bots. They share the same wallets and settings, so you can use any of them:

• @solana_trojanbot (main)
• @achilles_trojanbot
• @odysseus_trojanbot
• @menelaus_trojanbot
• @diomedes_trojanbot
• @paris_trojanbot
• @helenus_trojanbot
• @hector_trojanbot
• @agamemnon_trojanbot
• @nestor_trojanbot

Trojan can change this list. Check the official page before you start a new bot.

How to spot a fake

• Check the username letter by letter. Watch for extra letters, swapped letters, underscores or numbers (for example solana_trojanbott or so1ana_trojanbot). A familiar profile picture proves nothing.
• Never follow bot links from DMs, ads, replies or "support" accounts. Open bots from the official links page or by typing the exact username.
• Real support never DMs you first and never asks for your seed phrase, private key, password or a "verification" payment.
• Websites: type trojan.com yourself or use a bookmark. Check the address bar before you connect a wallet or sign anything.
• Be careful with "connect wallet to fix/verify/claim" pages. These are classic wallet-drainer scams.

Keep trading money separate from your savings so one mistake can't empty everything.

1. Use a separate, fresh wallet. For the web terminal, create a new wallet in Phantom (or similar) just for trading and sign in with that, not your main wallet. In the Telegram bot, the bot creates a wallet for you when you press START.
2. Keep only a small amount there. Move the rest back to your main wallet when you're done.
3. Back up offline. Write your wallet app's seed phrase on paper and store it somewhere safe. If you back up a Trojan wallet's private key (both the terminal and the bot let you export it), do it when you're alone, write it on paper, and never screenshot it or paste it into chats, notes, email or cloud storage.
4. Never share a seed phrase or private key with anyone, including Syndicate admins and Trojan support. Trojan's own docs say admins will never ask for it.
5. On the Telegram bot, set a Secure Action Password (SAP) in Settings → Account Security. After that, the bot asks for it before sensitive actions like exporting your key or withdrawing. Trojan says the SAP cannot be reset, so set a hint you'll remember.
6. Lock down Telegram: turn on two-step verification in Telegram's privacy settings.

Start small, think "price of a meal," not "rent money." You're paying to learn how the tool behaves.

• Telegram bot: your Trojan wallet address is at the top of the main menu. Send SOL to that address.
• Web terminal: open Wallets → + Deposit, choose a wallet, then copy the deposit address, send from your connected wallet, or use MoonPay with a card.
• Only send SOL or Solana tokens on the Solana network. Sending from another network to this address can lose the funds.
• Test first: send a tiny amount, check it arrived, then send the rest.
• Keep some SOL for fees. Every transaction costs SOL, even if you trade with USDC. Opening a new token in your wallet also costs a small refundable network deposit (Trojan's docs list about 0.002 SOL).

Every Solana token has a unique contract address (CA), also called the mint address. Names and tickers can be copied by anyone, but the CA can't. Always trade by CA, never by name.

Check the CA against verified sources

• Get the CA from the project's own official website or verified account, not from a reply, a DM or a random group.
• For Syndicate tokens, use the verified addresses on smartzsyndicate.com.
• Compare the whole address, at least the first 6 and last 6 characters. Scammers create addresses that look alike.

What the Trojan token page shows

• Token card: copy the CA, links to socials and Solscan, and liquidity pools.
• Security audit: flags potential risks like ownership, launch distribution, contract functions and dev holdings.
• Stats: price, liquidity, volume, buys/sells and number of traders across 5m, 1h, 6h and 1d.
• Holder tools: HolderScan, Holder Analytics, Dev Scanner (what else the dev launched), and Similar Tokens (to spot copycats).

A market buy happens right away at the current price. In the bot: paste a CA, choose an amount and slippage, then tap Buy. In the terminal: choose Buy → Market, set the amount, review your settings, then click Buy.

Slippage

Slippage is how much price movement you'll accept between sending a trade and it going through. Higher slippage means the trade is more likely to fill, but you could pay a worse price. Trojan's bot defaults to 15% and its docs say there's no one-size-fits-all setting. If trades keep failing with "slippage exceeded," the price is moving fast, so slow down before you raise the setting.

Priority fee (gas tip)

An extra SOL tip that helps your transaction confirm faster. The bot offers presets (Fast, Turbo) or Custom. Trojan's docs say the tip is paid even if your transaction fails, so repeated retries add up. Trojan also charges its own trading fee, so check the current fees in Trojan before you trade.

MEV protection (a setting)

MEV refers to other bots reordering transactions around yours. Trojan has an MEV Protection toggle. When it's on, the bot waits for a protected slot before sending, and the terminal uses a "bribe" amount you set. Trojan's docs describe a trade-off: on is more protected, off can be faster. It's just a setting. It doesn't make a token safe or a trade a good idea.

Selling

You can sell a percentage (25/50/75/100%) or a fixed amount. You need enough SOL left for fees to be able to sell at all.

A limit order waits until a condition is met and then trades.

• Limit buy: buys if the price, market cap or % change reaches your trigger. In the bot, triggers can also be events (migration, dev sell) or a set time, and every order needs an expiry (for example 2h or 30d).
• Limit sell with a negative %: a stop loss (S/L). It sells if the price drops by your chosen amount.
• Limit sell with a positive %: a T/P order that sells part of your position if the price rises to your level.
• Trailing stop loss (bot): the stop follows the highest price reached and never moves down.
• Check or cancel active orders in the bot's orders menu (Close / Close All) or the terminal's Orders page.

Set your own stop rules before you buy

1. Decide the most you'll put in one trade, for example a small fixed slice of your trading wallet.
2. Decide where you'll get out if it goes against you, and set that S/L right away.
3. Decide your daily limit. After two or three losing trades, stop for the day.
4. Don't move a stop lower to "give it room." That's how small losses become big ones.

Fat-finger amounts

• Tapping 5 SOL when you meant 0.5 is easy on a phone. Set your preset buy buttons to small amounts.
• In the bot, turn Confirm Trades on (🟢) so tapping an amount doesn't send immediately. Trojan's docs note that Simple mode always has Confirm Trades off.
• Turn on Sell Protection so the bot asks you to confirm before selling more than 75% of a token.
• Keep Auto Buy off while you're learning. When it's on, pasting a CA into the bot buys immediately.

Honeypots

A token you can buy but can't sell, or can only sell with a huge tax. The chart may look great because nobody can sell. Check the audit, the holders, and whether other wallets are actually selling.

Rug pulls

The creators pull the liquidity or dump their supply, and the price goes to almost zero in seconds. Warning signs include a brand-new token, tiny liquidity, a few wallets holding most of the supply, anonymous devs with past dead launches, and heavy hype or pressure to "buy now."

Other classics

• Buying a copycat token with the same name (check the CA).
• Chasing a pump after it's already up a lot, or revenge-trading after a loss.
• Leaving all your SOL in the trading wallet with no SOL kept back for fees.

SmartzOS has a paper trading section where you trade with $1,000 of pretend USDC at live prices. Use it to practise the same routine you'd use in Trojan, with no real money:

1. Pick a token and check the CA.
2. Choose a small position size and write down your exit rule.
3. Make the practice trade and watch how fees and thin pools affect the result.
4. Repeat until the routine is automatic, then move to real money with a small amount.

Run through this every time. If you can't tick every box, don't trade. These ticks reset each time you open the page.

• I'm using the official Trojan site or a bot from the official list.
• I checked the full contract address against a verified source.
• I looked at liquidity, holders and the audit, and I'm OK with the red flags.
• This amount is small and I can afford to lose all of it.
• I double-checked the amount (no extra zero) and my slippage.
• I know my exit rule and will set a stop loss.
• I'm not trading out of FOMO, anger or to win back a loss.
• Nobody asked for my seed phrase or private key.
