Why Look at Telegram Mini‑Apps?
Telegram has become crypto’s command center: wallets, swaps, and entire DEX UIs now live in chat. Anonymous Coding Cult (ACC) pushes the idea further, releasing a family of bots that strip KYC and browser footprints from everyday crypto workflows. This article audits the four live products—plus two in development—to see how they work, where the privacy limits lie, and how they plug into the Cult’s revenue‑sharing token.
1. AnoGift Bot — Anonymous Gift‑Card Marketplace
What it does Sells Amazon, Steam and other vouchers in 60+ countries, payable in SOL, BTC or USDT. No personal data beyond a disposable email.
How it works A Telegram mini‑app calls a custodial gift‑card provider’s API. On payment, the bot polls for a code and pipes it to the user via DM and email.
Privacy angle Payment addresses rotate per order; email can be alias. No KYC.
Incentives & fees Gift‑card spread ≈ 4 – 6 %; 1 % of each purchase is rebated in $ACC to the referrer.
Risks / Limitations
Provider outage means delayed codes—there’s no on‑chain escrow.
Email delivery leaks an identifier unless you use Proton or similar.
2. AnoCard Bot — High‑Limit Virtual Credit Cards
What it does Issues single‑use Visa/Mastercard VCCs up to $3 000 funded with crypto. Balance arrives in 5–10 min and can be added to Apple Pay/Google Pay.
How it works The bot forwards crypto to a card issuer, receives a card PAN/CVV, and displays it in a transient mini‑app view. Hold ≥ $50 in $ACC and you unlock higher limits; burn 50 $ACC to cut fees by 2 %.
Referral & reward 1 % of card spend in $ACC accrues to the link owner; withdrawals once balance ≥ $1.
Risks / Limitations
Card BIN sometimes geo‑locked—may fail on certain merchants.
Because cards are prepaid, reloads require a fresh purchase.
3. AnoBridge Bot — Monero‑Routed Cross‑Chain Swaps
What it does Swaps thousands of asset pairs while erasing the on‑chain link between sender and recipient. Every trade passes through XMR as an intermediary.
Architecture Two‑phase relay: Coin A → XMR (Exchange 1) → XMR → Coin B (Exchange 2). Refund address on phase 1 protects deposits; if phase 2 stalls, funds auto‑return.
Fees & speed 1 % swap fee + network gas; typical latency 5–15 min. Referral rebate 0.5 % in $ACC.
Risks / Limitations
Reliant on centralized liquidity providers for each hop.
Rate slippage possible on thin XMR pairs despite quoted lock.
4. SolSlam Bot — On‑Chain Trading Contests
What it does Runs Biggest‑Buy, Last‑Buy or Raffle contests for any SPL token. Deployed by dropping the bot into a Telegram group and sending a few parameters.
Flow User pays 0.25 SOL to spin up a contest wallet; bot streams purchase events from chosen DEX (Pumpfun, Raydium, etc.) and updates a leaderboard in real‑time. Payouts are triggered on‑chain once the contest closes.
Referral Creators earn 0.025 SOL each time a referred user launches a contest.
Risks / Limitations
Bot must stay online; downtime during contest = missed events.
Sybil resistance relies on minimum‑hold settings set by contest owner.
5. AnoVol & AnoCall
AnoVol aims to price and sell decentralized volatility options on Solana using Serum order books.
AnoCall prototypes a pay‑per‑minute encrypted voice bridge paid in Lightning BTC.
5. The Cult Token ($ACC) and Revenue Loops
ACC is the glue across bots:
Revenue share 30 % of every $1 000 in bot revenue is distributed to holders holding ≥ 0.025 % of supply; 30 % funds buybacks; 40 % to team ops.
Utility hooks Holding or burning ACC unlocks lower fees (AnoCard) or higher limits.
Referral payouts All bots settle commissions in ACC, creating sink demand.
Shared Design Patterns & Security Audit Points
Telegram‑First UX No browser, no extensions, but also total reliance on Telegram’s uptime and TOS.
Non‑Custodial Until Fulfilment Bots either hand off to a supplier or create temporary wallets so they never store long‑term user funds.
Referral Ledger Each /start generates a salted hash that maps spend to referrer across bots; payouts batch in cron‑jobs on Solana.
Privacy Trade‑Offs While no KYC is required, IP leakage to Telegram and email usage (AnoGift/AnoCard) remain vectors.
Security‑minded users should transact from fresh wallets and use Tor‑enabled Telegram forks where permitted.
Conclusion
Anonymous Coding Cult is less a single product and more an experiment in collapsing crypto UX into chat while outsourcing trust to on‑chain or API‑level escrows. The approach strips friction, but places real responsibility on users to manage privacy settings and vendor risk. If you can stomach those trade‑offs, the Cult’s bots offer one of the cleanest ways to keep your crypto life off‑the‑grid—one Telegram command at a time.
