Security & Custody Model​

Your private key is securely encrypted and stored on our servers using modern cryptography (AES-GCM) and a password known only to you.
We never store your password, and it is never logged or sent anywhere beyond the secure Telegram channel you use to communicate with the bot.

When you perform an action that requires your private key (such as signing a transaction), the bot temporarily decrypts your key in memory only, using your password, to sign the requested operation.
Immediately afterward, the key and decrypted data are permanently wiped from memory.

Even in the event of a data breach or database leak, your encrypted keys would remain mathematically unusable without your password.

The bot server itself is not directly reachable from the Internet — it communicates exclusively through Telegram’s secure API channels.

What This Means​

  • Only you can use your key — nobody else knows your password.
  • Your key never leaves the secure server environment in decrypted form.
  • The server cannot access or recover your key without your password.
  • The system provides a level of protection comparable to local non-custodial wallets.

However, because decryption and signing occur on the server (under your explicit command), this wallet is not strictly “non-custodial” in the pure cryptographic sense.
It is best described as a secure custodial wallet with zero-knowledge encryption — combining strong security, simplicity, and user control.

How to Start​

Getting started with the Mina Wallet Bot only takes a few minutes.
Follow these 4 simple steps:

1. Start a private chat with the bot​

Open this link and press Start:
👉 https://t.me/mina_monitor_bot

All sensitive actions (password, private key, signing) must be done in private DM for security.

Upon start, you will be asked if you want to create your wallet (you can delay your wallet creation and create it later (See 2).

Create Wallet

2. Create your first Mina wallet​

In DM, type:

/create_wallet

After having accepted the disclaimer :

Disclaimer

You will be asked to choose a password.
This password encrypts your private key and is never stored anywhere.

Password

After confirming, the bot creates your wallet and displays your public address.

Password

3. Claim a faucet (testnet only)​

To get 5 test MINA on devnet or zeko_testnet, type:

/faucet devnet

or

/faucet zeko_testnet

Faucet

You can use these funds to test tips, games, or payments safely.

4. Send your first MINA (tip someone)​

Once you have testnet MINA, try sending some:

/tip B62qqxVafmoBataYLwazvkWEFKWsjPG8ajYEG9aSUpVkpos3XCWYbzw 1 0.01 zeko_testnet

or

/tip @telegram_username 1 0.01 zeko_testnet

The bot will ask for your password so it can decrypt your key in memory and sign the transaction.

Payment

You’re ready!
You now have a working wallet, funds, and the ability to send and receive MINA or use all the bot’s advanced features.

Starts wallet creation flow (continues in DM).

Tip a user​

/tip @telegram_user <amount> [fee] [memo] [*mainnet*|devnet|zeko_testnet]
Sends a tip from your default wallet. DM confirmation may be required.

Rain (random distribution)​

/rain <amount> <nb_users> [fee] [memo] [network_id (**mainnet**|devnet|zeko_testnet)]
Randomly distribute <amount> among <nb_users> eligible members (must have a wallet & be in this group).
Requires DM confirmation (password). Summary posted in group.

    Tip leaderboard over an optional date range and network.
  • /reflb

Mini-Games (Group)​

Players must have wallets & will confirm in DM before any transfer/signing.
First, users may need to opt-in to games (e.g. via a private /game toggle if you keep that anti-spam switch).

IMPORTANT

Games are only available on testnets/devnets.

Dice Roll​

/dice_roll @username <amount> [network_id (devnet|**zeko_testnet**)]
Challenge another user to a dice roll. Highest roll wins the pot.

  • Bot DM flow: both players confirm with password
  • On success: winner receives <amount> from the loser (or split pot if you configured a pot logic)

Example

/dice_roll @alice 1

Guess My Number​

/guess @username <amount> [number_of_tries(_default: 5_)] [bet_multiplier(_default: 1_)] [network_id (devnet|**zeko_testnet**)]
Challenge another player to guess a number between 1 and 100.

  • number_of_tries: how many guesses the opponent gets (default 5)
  • bet_multiplier: if the opponent finds the number, they win multiplier × amount; if not, the starter wins 1 × amount

Examples

/guess @alice 2
/guess @alice 2 7 3
/guess @alice 2 7 3 zeko_testnet

The final DM result message includes the secret number for transparency.

Notes & Best Practices​

  • Security first: The bot will always ask for your password in DM before any action requiring your private key.
  • Networks: Many commands default to mainnet; specify devnet or zeko_testnet when needed.
  • Aliases: Use the short forms (/wa, /wv, /uv, /rn, /lw, /sd, /spk, /vs, /gf, /gb, /ac, /lb) for faster typing.
  • Gaming opt-in: If enabled in your deployment, users must first opt-in via a private /game toggle to avoid spam.
  • Group eligibility (rain/games): Users must have a wallet registered and be present in the group.
