3. Setting up a track channel

What's the point of naming addresses if we can't track them?

Before we start tracking, it's always a good idea to have a common place to track all your favorite addresses, and that of course, would be Telegram.

The following example will show how you can set an uncategorized group up.

Uncategorized groups are Telegram chats that do not organize alerts by chain.

Creating an uncategorized group

1. Run the command /start

2. Select New Tracking Group

3. Select No when prompted to organize transactions by chain

4. Click the button below your text input box that says: ☝🏽Create a new group to receive transaction alerts

5. Click Create a New Group for This

6. Enter your group name and hit create

7. (optional) Pin the new chat created to a folder so you can access it

8. Copy and paste the code given into the Tracker => Telegram Authentication tab of the DefiDino app.

9. Once you're authenticated, you will receive an alert in the new group you created. And your done! ✨

Differences between a categorized and uncategorized group

Here, we'll show you the main difference between a categorized and uncategorized group.

Uncatergorized group

In an uncategorized group, all transactions are not organized according to chain. Users do this if they only want to receive transactions made by tracked addresses on one or two chains.

Categorized Group

Whereas in a categorized group, each transaction is organized neatly into their respective thread within the chat. Neat! 💫
