Free Telegram alerts for 404 tracked stablecoins

Stablecoin alerts, before you have to check.

Six alert families watch every tracked peg through the night — from depeg events to issuer freezes — and land in your Telegram chat only when something changes. Start with one preset; tune later.

What lands in your chat

Six alert families, each firing on its own evidence — and every message below is the exact text the bot sends. No mock-ups.

  1. DEWS Threat Level

    dews

    DEWS — the Depeg Early Warning System — scores stress before a peg breaks. Fires when a coin crosses into a worse band, with the two highest-stress signals named.

    PharosWatchBot

    DEWS 🟡 USDT — WATCH → ALERT (score: 42) Top signals: pool_balance_drift (61%), supply_velocity (48%) View on Pharos: pharos.watch/stablecoin/usdt-tether

  2. Depeg Events

    depeg

    Fires when a peg moves past your severity step (100, 250, or 500 basis points), again on each worsening milestone, and when the peg recovers.

    PharosWatchBot

    Depeg Detected ▼ USDC — below peg by 1.2% (120 bps) Price: $0.9880 (peg: $1.00) View on Pharos: pharos.watch/stablecoin/usdc-circle

  3. Safety Grade Changes

    safety

    Fires on live safety-grade shifts and names the driver on the Reason line, so you know why, not just what. Methodology re-scores never page you.

    PharosWatchBot

    Safety Grade Change USDR — B → F Score: 70 → 39 Reason: Active depeg peak 7546 bps capped the pre-variant Safety Score at F (39). Now: Safety F 39 · Liquidity 57, DEX TVL $1.2M · Supply $13.1M View on Pharos: pharos.watch/stablecoin/usdr-tangible

  4. Launch Promotions

    launch

    Fires when a tracked pre-launch stablecoin goes live. Subscribe by ticker — presets don't cover launches.

    PharosWatchBot

    Stablecoin Launched ✦ USDPT — US Dollar Payment Token has launched and is now tracked by Pharos View on Pharos: pharos.watch/stablecoin/usdpt-western-union

  5. Reserve Drift

    reserve

    Fires when a live-tracked coin's backing mix newly diverges from its curated profile. Entering drift only, and only on coins with live reserve tracking.

    PharosWatchBot

    Reserve Drift USDC — Circle USD Coin live reserve mix has drifted from its curated profile View on Pharos: pharos.watch/stablecoin/usdc-circle

  6. Freeze and Blacklist Events

    freeze

    Fires when the verified on-chain tape records an issuer blacklist, release, or destroy event. Opt-in, per coin.

    PharosWatchBot

    Issuer Freeze Event USDC — address frozen on Ethereum Amount at event: $1,000,000 Source: Pharos FreezeWatch: pharos.watch/freezewatch/ View on Pharos: pharos.watch/stablecoin/usdc-circle

Commands, limits, and answers

Everything, in writing: every command, every bound, every privacy term.

30 commands in 5 groups

Subscribe

/subscribe <types> <targets>
Enable alert types for one or more coins, coin-ids, or presets. <types> is comma-separated.Example: /subscribe dews,depeg usd-top25
/subscribe <types> all
Enable alert types across every tracked coin. safety all sends downgrades only and applies a 3-point filter when scored.Example: /subscribe depeg,safety all
/subscribe <targets> depeg-step <value>
Enable depeg alerts, gate them by severity, and re-alert on each worsening milestone. <value> must be 100, 250, or 500 bps.Example: /subscribe usd-top50 depeg-step 250
/presets
Browse preset watchlists (usd-top25, non-usd-top25, mcap-ge-1b, ...). Subscribing to a preset expands to its current member coins.Example: /presets

Unsubscribe

/unsubscribe <targets>
Remove coins by ticker, coin-id, or preset. Preset removal expands to its current member coins.Example: /unsubscribe usd-top25
/unsubscribe all
Clear every per-coin, preset, and all-stablecoin subscription. Operational chat metadata can remain until inactive cleanup.

Tune

/set <ticker> <setting> <value>
Tune one coin. <setting> is dews <band> (WARNING/ALERT/DANGER/off), depeg on|off, depeg-step <bps> (100/250/500), safety <mode> (downgrade-only/upgrade-only/all/off), launch on|off, reserve on|off, or freeze on|off.Example: /set USDT dews WARNING
/set all <setting> <value>
Global toggle for dews, depeg, safety, launch, reserve, or freeze. safety globally supports all/off only (downgrades, 3-point filter when scored). depeg-step <bps> sets the global severity gate and worsening step.Example: /set all depeg-step 250
/mute <start>-<end>
Set quiet hours (integer hours, 0–23) interpreted in the chat's /timezone (UTC if none is set). Notifications are silenced; messages still deliver. Use alert toggles or unsubscribes for all-day silence.Example: /mute 22-07
/timezone <IANA-zone>
Set the chat's IANA timezone used to resolve /mute quiet hours locally (e.g. Europe/Paris, America/New_York). Sending /timezone with no argument shows the current zone and an inline keyboard of common zones.Example: /timezone Europe/Paris
/recap [on|off]
Show, enable, or disable the private daily watchlist recap. Enabling requires a confirmed /timezone. A recap sends at most once per local day and only when watched assets materially changed.Example: /recap on
/recap time <hour>
Set the recap delivery hour from 0 to 23 in your confirmed IANA timezone. Personalized recaps are private-chat only.Example: /recap time 9
/settings
Open an inline-keyboard panel for chat-level settings (quiet hours, snooze clear, global DEWS/depeg/safety/launch/reserve/freeze toggles). Add a ticker (e.g. /settings USDC) to open the per-coin panel with DEWS floor, depeg step, safety mode, launch, reserve, and freeze toggles.Example: /settings USDC
/pause [off|1h|4h|24h]
Pause all alerts indefinitely, resume with off, or apply a timed 1h, 4h, or 24h snooze.Example: /pause 4h
/unmutehours
Disable quiet hours.
/unsnooze
Clear active alert snooze immediately.

Reserved target meaning every tracked stablecoin

Command tips

  • Tickers are case-insensitive. Use the exact Pharos coin-id (e.g. usdc-circle) when a symbol is ambiguous.
  • all is a reserved target for every tracked stablecoin. Launch and reserve alerts do not use preset watchlists; choose explicit tickers, coin-ids, or all.
  • In Telegram groups, address commands to the bot: /subscribe@PharosWatchBot dews usd-top25. Pending ticker selections only complete for the user who started them.
  • Typing / inside Telegram opens an inline command picker once the bot is registered.

Other starter setups

Research desk setup

/subscribe safety mcap-ge-1b

All safety-grade changes with reason lines, on coins above $1B mcap.

Group setup

/subscribe@PharosWatchBot dews usd-top25

Address commands to the bot so a shared Telegram group runs one watch desk without colliding with other bots.

What Pharos promises — and what it does not

Alerts are a bounded notification service, not a guaranteed emergency pager. Each message links back to Pharos so you can inspect the underlying signal.

Source cadence
The dispatcher runs every 5 minutes. Safety follows the live report-card publish path; reserve drift follows the four-hour live-reserve producer and only fires for supported live-reserve coins.
Bounded delivery
Eligible alerts can send immediately or enter a retry queue. Risk alerts expire after 2 hours; launch alerts after 90 minutes and admin broadcasts after 45 minutes. Terminal and ambiguous outcomes stay visible to operators rather than being silently replayed.
Privacy
Pharos stores your chat ID, optional username, follows, alert settings, quiet hours, snooze state, and short-lived command or queue metadata. Use /forget in a private chat for immediate deletion; inactive unsubscribed chats are pruned after 180 days.

Adoption metrics above are aggregate counts; small daily changes are hidden to avoid identifying individual chats. Read the full privacy policy.

Frequently asked questions

Is PharosWatchBot free?

Yes. All alert families, presets, group commands, and tuning controls are free. Pharos is donor-funded; see the funding page if you want to support it.

Where do alerts land — DM or group?

Subscriptions are tied to the chat where you ran the command. DM the bot for personal alerts, or add @PharosWatchBot to a Telegram group for a shared watch desk.

What alerts does Pharos send on Telegram?

DEWS threat-level band crossings, depeg detections and worsening milestones, safety-grade changes with reason lines, pre-launch assets going live, entering live reserve-mix drift, and verified issuer freeze events.

Can I get alerts for all tracked stablecoins at once?

Yes. Send /subscribe <type> all, for example /subscribe depeg all, to subscribe across every tracked stablecoin. The safety lane is intentionally narrower globally: it sends downgrades only and applies a 3-point filter when scores are present.

How do I silence Telegram notifications during certain hours?

Use /mute <start>-<end> with integer hours (0–23). For example, /mute 22-07 silences alerts between 10pm and 7am. Quiet hours are interpreted in the chat's /timezone: set it once with /timezone Europe/Paris (or any IANA zone) and /mute will use it; without /timezone, hours fall back to UTC. Use /unmutehours to disable quiet hours. Use alert toggles or unsubscribes for all-day silence.

Is there a Mini App or do I have to type commands?

Both work. Every alert family, preset, threshold, and daily recap setting is reachable through commands. There's also a Mini App you can open from the bot's menu button or via https://t.me/PharosWatchBot?startapp=home. It gives you a visual surface for the watchlist, settings, recap, snooze, and presets without typing slash commands. The Mini App and the bot share the same subscription state, so you can switch between them freely.

How does the daily watchlist recap work?

The personalized recap is an optional private-chat summary of material changes in your own watchlist, separate from the market-wide Daily Digest channel. Set an IANA timezone with /timezone, then use /recap on and optionally /recap time <hour>. Pharos sends at most one recap per local day and sends nothing when your watched assets had no material changes. The same controls are available in the Mini App settings.

What are preset watchlists?

Presets are curated coin lists like usd-top25, non-usd-top25, or mcap-ge-1b (compact and dashed spellings both work). Subscribing to a preset expands to its current member coins. Send /presets in Telegram to browse them.

Can I use the bot in a Telegram group?

Yes. Add @PharosWatchBot to the group and use addressed commands such as /subscribe@PharosWatchBot dews usd-top25. Subscriptions apply to that chat, and pending ticker selections can only be completed by the user who started them.

How do I unsubscribe?

Send /unsubscribe <targets> to remove specific coin subscriptions, or /unsubscribe all to clear every subscription and disable all alert flags. This stops alerts but does not immediately delete operational chat metadata; use /forget in a private chat for immediate subscriber-data deletion.

What does Pharos store for Telegram privacy?

Pharos stores chat-level alert settings, quiet hours, snooze state, and short-lived command or delivery metadata. /forget starts a private two-step deletion flow for subscriber data and live diagnostics. Inactive unsubscribed chats are pruned after 180 days, and public pulse metrics hide low-cardinality deltas while keeping the exact active watcher total visible.
