Trading bot usage stats
Most trading bots don't publish a trading record, so we can't rank their results. We can measure how much people use them: the fees users pay and the volume they trade, and how healthy the open-source code is. None of this says whether users made money.
For results we can verify, see the verified leaderboard. For what a bot can do with your money, see AI trading bots and which API key permissions a bot needs on each exchange.

Open-source repo health
API key safety defaults
Before you give a bot a key
A bot with a trade-only key can still lose your money through bad trades, but it can't withdraw it. Turn withdrawals off, lock the key to the bot's IP addresses where the exchange allows it, and use a sub-account with only what the bot needs. Exchange-by-exchange settings for Binance, Bybit, OKX, Coinbase, Kraken, KuCoin, Bitget and Hyperliquid API wallets.
Telegram bots hold your keys
Most Telegram bots create a wallet and keep its private key, so a bot breach can empty it. Keep only trading money there, and check the link is the bot's real one before you start: official bot links, past Telegram bot hacks and TAS Check.
Sources and limits
- Fees, revenue, volume and deposits: DeFiLlama's free public API, using its own categories (Telegram Bot, Trading App, AI Agents). Fees are what users paid; revenue is the part the protocol kept. Some bots report only one of the two, and perp volume isn't on the free API.
- Repo health: GitHub's REST API (stars, last commit, latest release, published security advisories) and the OpenSSF Scorecard API (CDLA Permissive 2.0).
- Limits: usage shows demand, not quality or safety. Big fees can mean many users or a few heavy traders. Closed-source bots have no repo to check.
