Raidar: raids for communities

Crypto projects love raids: a Telegram community moves together to a project's post on a social network, drops likes, reposts and replies, and tries to get the post noticed. These used to be coordinated by hand with messages like "everyone, go now". Raidar takes over the organizing. ⚔

The bot links a Telegram group with its members' accounts on the social network. It launches a raid with one command, counts actions and keeps a ranking. Here is how it works and what participants risk.

What a raid is and why groups run them

A raid is an announced action: an admin gives a link to a post and sets goals such as a number of likes, reposts and replies. Participants do the actions, and the bot tracks the result.

For projects it is a way to draw attention to an announcement. For participants it means points, a place in the ranking and sometimes token rewards. 🏆

Commands you will use

The bot has a rich menu with twelve commands. These are the ones needed most often.

• /raid. Starts a raid right away.
• /stop. Stops the active raid.
• /next. Queues the next raid.
• /settings. Customizes the bot for your group.
• /lb. Shows the current member leaderboard.
• /gxp. Shows trending experience points.
• /reward. Sends token rewards.
• /profile. Manages your profile and linked account.
• /trend. A fast track to trending.
• /pro. Upgrade to the paid Raidar Pro plan.

If you are new, start with /start and /help, and the bot will guide you. 📘

Connecting the bot to a group

1. Add the bot to your Telegram group.
2. Make it an administrator, or it cannot manage raids.
3. Open /settings and choose goals, announcements and styling.
4. Start the first raid with /raid.

The bot also works with group topics: start it in the topic you want, and the raid runs inside it. 🧵

What a participant needs

For the bot to count your actions you must link your profile. You message the bot privately, because login works only in a private chat. Then you confirm access to your social account and use the buttons under the raid message.

If a project pays token rewards, the profile usually asks for a wallet address. You can disconnect the account from your profile at any time. 🔌

The price of joining: risks

Raids have a downside worth remembering.

• Account access. Confirm only in the official bot and check which permissions you grant. You can revoke them afterward in the social network's settings.
• Platform rules. Mass inflation of engagement is sometimes treated as a violation and can lead to account limits.
• Token rewards. Tokens of promoted projects can lose value sharply. Do not take promises of income from raids seriously.
• Wallet. Share an address only. Never give a recovery phrase to anyone. 🔐

Who gets value from Raidar

The bot is meant for admins of crypto communities who want to organize members, and for people who enjoy a ranking contest. If you do not follow crypto projects, there is little reason to use it.

The audience is large: the catalog lists around 145 thousand users. That shows this style of community work has become familiar. ✨
