Telegram Bot • Live on Signet test network only

Use ArkAPI from Telegram.

The ArkAPI Telegram bot gives each Telegram user a private ArkAPI session. Start with /fund, get a starter Signet balance, then use Bitcoin, OSINT, utility, and AI tools from chat without touching the web dashboard.

How It Works

ArkAPI on Telegram is a chat client for the same paid API platform at arkapi.dev. Each Telegram user gets a separate session token behind the scenes, so your balance, activity, and funding details stay scoped to your own chat instead of being mixed into a shared pool.

Starter Path

/fund /balance /domain example.com /markdown https://ark-protocol.org/intro/ /image astronaut looking at Earth from the moon /chat why do zebras have stripes

That gives new users a clean first run: fund, confirm balance, try OSINT, extract structured web content, generate an image, then run a chat prompt.

Funding Model

The bot is live on Signet today. New users can get a starter balance through the faucet-backed onboarding flow. After that, the bot can show a fresh Ark address and a fresh Lightning invoice so users can keep funding the same session.

  • Session lifetime is based on 24 hours of inactivity
  • Lightning invoices are refreshed when you use /fund
  • Receipts show which rail funded the session: Ark or Lightning
