Telegram bot monitoring Ethereum addresses

ETHWatchBot

Simple Telegram bot to monitor Ethereum addresses. The bot is available @ETHWatchBot.

Commands:

• /start - displays a greeting
• /watch (address) - starts monitoring an address
• /forget (address) - stops monitoring an address
• /list - lists the currently monitored addresses

The bot is using the Etherscan API. In order to avoid service abuse it checks the addresses every 1 minute. It stops watching an address after 24 hours.

To-do

This current version is a very barebone MVP, and there's a lot more to do:

• Porting it to Web3.js so the API limitations don't apply. Turned out watching an address with Web3.js is a pain.
• Moved from Ethplorer to Etherscan, as it has more generous API limits.
• Implementing a database, so the watchlist is not dropped every time the bot is restarted.
• Implementing a /forget command.
