Your ZBD Wallet can easily be connected to a Discord or Telegram community using ZBD Bots.

Here’s how:

Add a ZBD Bot to your Discord or Telegram community

  1. Head to our Bots page and select whether you want to add a Bot to Discord or Telegram

  2. Input your credentials and select a server to add a Bot to.

    IMPORTANT: You can only add a bot to a server where you have mod rights.

Connect your ZBD Wallet to the Bot in any community

When a Discord or Telegram community has the ZBD Bots enabled, you can easily connect it with your ZBD Wallet for quick and simple tips and payments.

  1. Type “/login” in the chat to activate the pop-up.

  2. Scan the QR code with your ZBD Wallet.

  3. Confirm the pairing and you’re all ready to go.

Send, receive and tip simply by chatting

Once you’ve connected your ZBD Wallet to the Discord or Telegram bot, you can use many short commands to send and receive sats as simple as chatting.

Here are the commands, but you can always type “/help” to bring up a list of commands in the chat:

  • /send <lightningaddress> <amount> [<comment>]
    Send any user Sats in real-time. You can also add a comment if you like.
