This walks you from an empty chat to a coin in your portfolio. It takes about five minutes, most of which is waiting for a deposit to confirm.
The amounts below are examples, not recommendations. Start with an amount you would not mind losing — the minimum trade is $1.
1

Start the bot

Open Dawn in Telegram and tap Start, or send /start.Start ButtonDawn creates your first profile and your first wallet. The wallet is a pair of addresses — one EVM, one Solana — created and secured by Privy. Nobody at Dawn holds your keys, and you can export them whenever you like.The home screen shows your Balance, your Portfolio, and the buttons for everything else.

Add USDC

Tap Deposit or send /deposit, then pick the chain you are sending from and the token you are sending.
Deposit Screen Initial
Choose a chain to send funds from. 
Choose Funds


Dawn shows an address and a minimum. Copy the address, and in the wallet or exchange you are sending from, select the same token and the same network.
Address And Minimum
Send only the token and chain the panel names. Anything else cannot be recovered. Check the minimum on the panel before you send.
USDC on Solana is the most direct route: it lands on your balance with no fee and no conversion. Everything else is swapped and bridged for you, and the panel tells you roughly how long that takes.Wait for Deposit received, then check that Balance has gone up.

Open a coin

Paste the coin’s contract address into the chat.Dawn finds it, works out which chain it is on, and replies with its panel: market cap, liquidity, the token’s own checks, and a row of buy buttons. If the same address exists on more than one chain, Dawn asks which one you meant.
Coin Information
Check the address and the chain before you go further. You can also search by ticker — send $PEPE — but an address is exact and a ticker is not.

Buy

Tap one of the dollar buttons. The default set is $1 · $5 · $10 · $25 · $50, and $x lets you type any amount.
Buy Buttons
Tapping an amount sends the trade. There is no second confirmation step.
Dawn quotes, signs and submits. The card updates itself through submitted to filled, and shows what you spent and what you received. If the trade cannot fill inside your slippage, it is refunded and your USDC stays where it was.

Find it in your portfolio

Send /portfolio, or tap Portfolio on the home screen.Your coin is listed with what you put in, what it is worth now, and its PnL. Tap it to reopen the panel and buy more, sell, or set an order.
