In recent years, progress has been measured not in the quantity of new technologies, but in their quality. The competitive environment gives birth to giants and monopolists, while the convenience and comfort of the user remains in the first place in the rules of this game.
Communicating and learning about the world through messengers and social networks has long been part of the normal human way of life, but what if we say that progress has not stopped, and popular applications are beginning to migrate to messengers? We're talking about Telegram bots - the rapidly evolving assistants of their older versions, websites.
Telegram, which recently celebrated its anniversary, began its existence 10 years ago, acting as a secure and anonymous messenger for communication from anywhere in the world. You've probably used Telegram at least once or seen your friends or coworkers communicating on it, and for good reason. Every month, more than 800 million users use the popular messenger at least once, which is 1/10 of the world's population. Can you imagine the scale?
With the growing popularity of online communication, messengers are becoming not only a part of our lives, but also a place to study and work, replacing visits to offices or training centers. Online communication, calls and video conferencing, flexible customizable design - all the things we are so used to. However, the emergence of Telegram bots completely changes the rules of the game.
NFT, metaverse and... Telegram bots? 🤖
Gaining popularity by leaps and bounds, Telegram bots are becoming a new narrative in crypto and web communities, replacing the already well-known terms NFT and metaverse. The wave of hype is giving birth to both simple bots with a few steps and complex bots designed for multiple user interactions.
How do bots work? ⚙️
If you imagine bots as something like 🤖, it's time to understand how they work.
Telegram bots are a runnable sequence of steps, specified by code and aimed at interacting with web applications via the Telegram messenger. To start interacting with a bot, all you need to do is click the Start button and follow the bot's steps.
Bots can "communicate" with the user in chat rooms by sending messages or they can be a ported website that opens in a separate window.

Cryptobots 💎
The crypto space as a community of enthusiasts likes to try new things and catch "hypes" before they become mainstream. Binance, the largest crypto exchange, released a research article on bots, which you can read here.
Although cryptobots emerged long before Telegram, they are becoming increasingly popular due to their mobility and ability to automate a user's steps and provide the user with easy access to cryptocurrency actions.
Whereas previously users had to perform cryptocurrency activities through online or offline wallets using a sequence of steps on a tablet or laptop, Telegram bots allow for a much simpler experience. Accepting payments, trading, wallet actions, tracking cryptocurrency data - all this became available literally in one click.
Encrypted messaging and the ability to add bots to group chats make Telegram bots indispensable assistants for users around the world.

Use bots from reliable sources. Stick to bots created by reputable developers, explore Github, request information about bot development from the support team.

Familiarize yourself with the bot's terms of service and privacy policy. Find out if the bot collects user data, such as private wallet keys, and how it is processed before using the bot.

Malicious sources. Be cautious when clicking on links or downloading data from a bot. Check the source of the content before clicking or downloading a file.
