# Telegram Bot Guide

### Initiating a Trade

1. **Select 'Chain Swap':** To initiate a new trade, choose the "🔄 | Chain Swap" option from the main menu. The bot will guide you through the process.
2. **Selecting Currencies:** You'll first select the cryptocurrency you want to sell and then the one you want to buy. The bot will present a list of available options based on your selections.
3. **Entering Amount:** After selecting the currencies, enter the amount of the cryptocurrency you want to sell. The bot will calculate the equivalent amount to receive based on the current rate.
4. **Providing Your Receiving Address:** Next, enter the wallet address where you want to receive the cryptocurrency you're buying. Ensure accuracy to avoid transaction errors.
5. **Confirming the Trade:** The bot will summarize your trade details, including the amount and currencies involved. Confirm the trade to proceed.

### Checking Trade Status

After initiating a trade, the bot will provide a "Refresh Status" button, allowing you to check the current status of your trade.

1. **Refresh Status:** Click the "Refresh" button to request the latest information on your trade. If the trade is still processing, the bot may prompt you to check back later.
2. **Transaction Complete:** Once the trade is complete, the bot will update you with the transaction details, including a link to view the transaction on our partner's website.

### Troubleshooting and Support

If you encounter any issues or have questions:

* **Check Transaction Status:** Use the "Refresh Status" feature to get real-time updates on your trade.
* **Contact Support:** If you need further assistance, the bot will provide contact information for PayPaw's support team or a link to submit a support ticket.

### Safety Tips

* **Double-check Addresses:** Always verify the receiving wallet addresses before confirming a trade.
* **Beware of Scams:** Only interact with the official PayPaw Telegram Bot and be cautious of unsolicited messages or suspicious links.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

```
GET https://docs.paypaw.cards/multi-chain-swaps/telegram-bot-guide.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
