PharosWatchBot
The Pharos alert layer for people who do not want to keep a stablecoin dashboard open all day: bot alerts, daily digest posts, and a public watcher community in one Telegram surface.
Risk signals should find you before the timeline does.
@PharosWatchBot(opens in new tab) watches depegs, DEWS threat bands, safety-grade changes, and launch promotions across the tracked universe. Start with one low-noise preset, then tune thresholds as your watchlist grows.

Join CommunityGive new watchers a quiet default
Growth works when the first subscription is obvious and conservative. These setup paths keep the first command simple before anyone needs the full manual.
First watcher setup
/subscribe dews,depeg usd-top25Top USD stablecoins with DEWS and depeg coverage. Best default for most new subscribers.
Research desk setup
/subscribe safety mcap-ge-1bMaterial safety-grade downgrades across larger coins without following every ticker manually.
Group setup
/subscribe@PharosWatchBot dews usd-top25Addressed commands let a Telegram group share one alert configuration without hijacking other bots.
Growth posture
Support more watchers without making the bot louder.
As the watcher base grows, the job is keeping setup short, making group use natural, and protecting subscribers from repeated noise during volatile periods.
Preset watchlists
Top-N and market-cap cohorts keep setup short as the tracked universe grows.
Noise controls
DEWS floors, depeg worsening steps, safety modes, quiet hours, and alert snooze keep retention healthy.
Group-ready commands
Addressed group commands turn one Telegram chat into a shared watch desk for teams and DAOs.
Delivery backpressure
Overflow sends are queued and drained by the Telegram lane instead of dropping subscriber alerts.
What the bot actually sends

PharosWatchBotOperating model
The Telegram lane is designed around predictable cadence, low daily volume, and explicit privacy scope.
Cadence
The dispatcher runs every 5 minutes. DEWS and depeg alerts arrive within one cycle. Safety alerts are diffed against the live report-card publish path, and launch alerts fire within 5 minutes of a pre-launch asset going live.
Volume
Expect zero alerts on a calm day, a handful during volatility. Repeated transitions to the same DEWS band are deduped against the last alertable snapshot, so you are not paged twice for the same state. Every alert includes snooze buttons (1h / 4h / 24h).
Privacy
We store your Telegram chat ID, optional username, followed coins, alert settings, quiet hours, snooze state, and short-lived command/alert queue metadata. Run /unsubscribe all at any time to remove coin subscriptions and disable alert flags.
DEWS bands
Pharos scores each coin on five bands. Alerts fire when a coin enters ALERT, WARNING, or DANGER. Use /set USDT dews WARNING to raise the floor. See the DEWS methodology for scoring details.

Pro tip: Ticker matching is case-insensitive. Exact Pharos coin IDs also work, which is useful when a ticker is ambiguous. Use all to follow an alert type across every tracked stablecoin. Launch alerts still require explicit tickers or coin IDs and do not support presets. In groups, address commands to @PharosWatchBot, for example /subscribe@PharosWatchBot dews usd-top25.
Frequently Asked Questions
What alerts does Pharos send on Telegram?
DEWS threat-level band crossings, depeg detections and worsening milestones, safety-grade changes, and launch promotions for pre-launch assets when they go live.
Can I get alerts for all tracked stablecoins at once?
Yes. Send /subscribe <type> all, for example /subscribe depeg all, to subscribe to an alert type across every tracked stablecoin. For safety, the all-stablecoin tier is intentionally narrower: it sends downgrades only and applies a 3-point filter when scores are present.
How do I silence Telegram notifications during certain hours?
Use /mute <start>-<end> with UTC hours. For example, /mute 22-07 silences alerts between 10pm and 7am UTC. Use /unmutehours to disable quiet hours.
What are preset watchlists?
Presets are curated coin lists like usd-top25, usd-top-25, or mcap-ge-1b. Subscribing to a preset expands to the current list of coins it contains. Send /presets in Telegram to browse them interactively.
Can I use the bot in a Telegram group?
Yes. Add @PharosWatchBot to the group and use addressed commands such as /subscribe@PharosWatchBot dews usd-top25. Subscriptions apply to that chat, and pending ticker selections can only be completed by the user who started them.
How do I unsubscribe?
Send /unsubscribe <targets> to remove specific coin subscriptions, or /unsubscribe all to clear every subscription and disable all alert flags.
