DegenPass vs Rick bot
Rick is the token-lookup bot many degen groups already have. If you are weighing DegenPass next to it, the honest starting point is what each side can be shown to do.
Readers searching for a Rick bot alternative are usually after two things: a lookup that answers faster than a chart link, and a way for the group itself to get something back.
Byte Exchange has not run its own field observation of this bot, so this page makes no claim about what it does, what it charges, or what it does not do. Everything below describes DegenPass, which we can evidence, plus a check you can run yourself against any bot — including ours.
What the DegenPass bot does
- Buying without an external wallet — A DegenPass swap runs from a Byte Exchange account. The trade executes on-chain through a DEX aggregator across EVM, Solana and TON, and the reader never connects a wallet, pastes a seed phrase or signs an approval.
- Safety checks that show their working — Contract-safety findings, liquidity and LP-lock readings, holder distribution and a published trust score, each stamped with when it was measured. An axis we could not read is reported as “not measured” and scores zero — it is never rounded up into a pass.
- A share for the group admin — Swaps that start in a group are attributed to that group through the exchange’s own reward ledger, and that attribution is what an admin share is paid from. The rate is set by Byte Exchange and shown in the bot; no projected earnings figure is published, because that number depends on your members’ own trading.
- Free to add and to use — There is no subscription and no per-scan charge. Byte Exchange earns from the trading fee on swaps.
- A verifiable identity — The official handle is published on bexc.io, on this site, and the bot links back to it. Two links that agree is the check.
How to judge any Telegram token bot — including ours
- Where does the trade execute, and what does the reader hand over to make it happen? A bot that holds a wallet for you is a different trust decision from one that trades from an exchange account.
- When a safety check has not run, does the bot say so, or does it quietly show a clean result? “Not measured” and “passed” are different answers.
- Is every reading stamped with the time it was taken? A figure with no measurement time cannot be checked later.
- Is the handle published somewhere you can reach by typing an address yourself, rather than only through a link you were sent?
- Does the bot ever ask you to connect a wallet, paste a seed phrase, sign a message or run code? None of those is something a token bot needs from you.
- If the bot pays group admins, where does the money come from, and can you see the amount that was actually credited rather than a projection?
Ofte stillede spørgsmål
- Does the DegenPass bot need a wallet connection?
- No. Swaps run from a Byte Exchange account and execute on-chain through a DEX aggregator, so there is no wallet to connect and no seed phrase to enter.
- Does the DegenPass bot cost anything?
- No. Adding it, scanning tokens and using the trending feed are free. Byte Exchange earns from the trading fee on swaps.
- How do I confirm which bot is the official one?
- Compare the handle with the one published at bexc.io/degenpass/bot, reached by typing the address yourself. The official bot never asks you to connect a wallet, paste a seed phrase, sign a message or run code.
