How to use GMGN
GMGN is the multichain one: a browser terminal, Telegram bots and native phone apps that share one account. Its edge is smart-money tracking and copy trading, plus contract checks built into the token page. It is the terminal ApeCheck links to for Ethereum, BNB Chain and Base tokens.
Same GMGN, no extra cost through ApeCheck's link.
The link tells the platform ApeCheck sent you, which is what keeps the scanner and the bot free.
Step by step
1Open GMGN through the link and connectConnect a browser wallet (Phantom, OKX, Trust, Bitget, TokenPocket) or Connect Telegram, which opens the GMGN bot and hands you a one-time login link.
2Choose your wallet modelWith a browser wallet you keep your own keys. With Telegram login GMGN creates a wallet per chain for you, and its private key cannot be exported. Pick deliberately.
3Deposit on the right networkUse Transfer Funds on the web or /wallet in the bot to get the address. GMGN warns that deposits on the wrong network are unrecoverable.
4Pick the chain and open the tokenSelect the chain top-right, then paste the contract address from the ApeCheck report into search. Check the score and the built-in contract checks.
5Buy with presets, set the exitUse the preset amounts, leave slippage on auto for manual trades, and set take profit or stop loss on the same panel if you want an automatic exit.
6Withdrawing from a Telegram wallet takes a momentIt requires Google Authenticator and a whitelisted address, with a three-hour wait for the first withdrawal, and only works on the website. Plan for it.
What GMGN does
- • Copy trading and smart-money wallet tracking with alerts
- • Sniper for new launches
- • Auto-buy, limit buy, auto-sell with take profit and stop loss
- • Contract checks: honeypot, liquidity, insiders, first buyers
- • One account across browser, Telegram bots and phone apps
- • Solana, BNB Chain, Ethereum and Base in one terminal
- • Multiple wallets (direct buy and sell only)
- • Telegram alert channels for tracked wallets
What beginners get wrong
- • Depositing on the wrong network, or importing a new EVM key and losing the old wallet. Both are stated as unrecoverable.
- • Treating the Telegram wallet as a main wallet, even though its key cannot be exported and withdrawals carry 2FA and whitelist delays.
- • Copy-trading a wallet without checking its win rate and the contracts it buys, and landing on phishing clones of gmgn.ai.
Who holds the keys
Hybrid. Browser-wallet login is non-custodial. Telegram login uses a GMGN-created wallet whose private key cannot be exported; you can import your own key instead, but that replaces the old EVM wallet for good.
Before the first trade: scan it
Paste the contract address on the scanner or open the Runners board. Every report has a GMGN button that opens the token directly. New to memecoins altogether? Start with how to buy memecoins on Solana.
FAQ
Does GMGN give referred users a discount?
No, not in its documentation. The fee is 1% for everyone. ApeCheck's link costs you nothing extra.
Which chains does GMGN cover?
Solana, BNB Chain, Ethereum and Base, and its apps list more. It is the terminal ApeCheck links to for every 0x address.
Can I export my GMGN wallet key?
Not from a Telegram-created wallet; GMGN's docs prohibit private-key export on all chains. Log in with your own browser wallet if you want full control.
