Keyword Alerts

A keyword alert watches a chain for new tokens and pings you when one launches with your keyword in its name or symbol. It’s for discovery: you hear about a launch before anyone pastes it. Nothing needs to be on your watchlist.

Note

Keyword alerts are a group feature: set them up in a group and the whole group sees the matches. Want them just for yourself? Create a private group with only you and Prysm. In a DM, /keyword shows an Add to a group button that opens Telegram’s group picker and starts /keyword there. See Add Prysm to a group.

Set one up

1. Send /keyword in your group. One page opens, with a tab per supported chain (each shows how many keywords you have there). It opens on the first chain you have keywords on.

2. Tap a chain’s tab. You see its keywords in a table: when each was added and how many new tokens it has matched.

3. Tap Add and type the word. Send /cancel or tap Cancel to stop.

• 🗑 next to a keyword stops watching it.
• Clear removes every keyword on that chain, after asking you to confirm. Other chains aren’t touched.

Keywords are per chain: a word added on Base only matches new Base tokens. The chains you can pick are the ones shown in /keyword.

Or type it

/keyword base add pepe
/keyword base remove pepe
/keyword base list
/keyword base clear
/keyword base mode

/keyword base on its own opens the page on that chain’s tab.

Alert mode

The Mode button on the /keyword page switches between two modes. It applies to all your keywords on every chain.

• ⚡ Deploy-time (default): alerts the moment a matching token is created, before anyone can trade it. Fastest, but most new tokens go nowhere.
• 💧 Liquidity-only: waits until the token has at least $1K of trading liquidity, then alerts with its liquidity, market cap and price. Prysm waits up to 30 minutes. A token that doesn’t get there in time is never sent.

Tip

Getting too many alerts? Switch to liquidity-only, or use a longer, more specific keyword.

How matching works

• Your keyword is matched anywhere inside a new token’s name or symbol, ignoring case. nyx matches “Nyxora” and “NYX”.
• If one token matches several of your keywords, you get one alert that lists them all.
• Tokens with very long, sentence-like names are skipped. They’re almost always spam.
• Only new launches count. For a token that already exists, use price alerts.

What an alert looks like

🔷 Keyword Match on Base!

Keyword: pepe

Token: PepeWifHat (PEPEWIF)

Contract: 0x1234…abcd

Deployer: 1.84 ETH

Funded by: 0x3a1f…9c2b

BaseScan

• Contract is tap-to-copy.
• Deployer links to the wallet that created the token and shows how much it holds. Funded by is the wallet that sent the deployer its first funds, when known. The same funder behind several launches is worth noticing.
• In liquidity-only mode, a line with 💧 Liq, 💰 MC and the price is added.
• The last line links to the token on the chain’s explorer.

Caution

A match is not an endorsement. Most brand-new tokens are noise or scams. Check the contract before doing anything with it.

Who can change them

• Keywords belong to the group. Alerts post in the group, in the forum topic you set them from.
• Anyone can view the keywords. Only group admins can add, remove or clear them, or change the mode.

Limits

The /keyword page shows your limit per chain and the minimum keyword length. If you hit the limit, remove a keyword before adding another, or contact the bot owner to request a higher limit.
