Comparison
FRB vs Telegram MEV scripts makes the trust and control differences obvious.
Telegram-distributed “MEV bots” often hide their relay endpoints, request private keys, or keep custody of your funds. FRB ships as a signed Windows agent with documented telemetry and governance so MEV searchers can keep pending transactions, refunds, and block builder relationships under control.
Teams that want to trial FRB can move from research to execution by downloading the latest agent build, aligning budgets in the pricing guide, and citing the Flashbots metrics board to prove inclusion gains over Telegram scripts.
For deeper due diligence, line this comparison up with the FRB comparison hub, the broader MEV bot comparison guide, and workflow templates inside the Execution Hub.
Where modern bots offer an edge
- FRB bots offer multi chain support with tuned gas fees, so profitable opportunities on Ethereum, Base, or BNB hit the mempool with the right priority lane.
- Telegram scripts rarely explain how these bots work or how they monitor the mempool, which means sandwich attacks and slippage slip through unnoticed.
- FRB’s desktop workflow keeps trade execution transparent for every trading experience level, and the MEV 101 hub shortens onboarding.
- Strategy leaders can cite the MEV strategies guide when they document arbitrage bots and cross-chain routing requirements.

What Telegram scripts miss
Most Telegram offers are opaque. You rarely know who wrote the code, whether it is patched, or how it handles your keys. Many demand deposits into custodial wallets. Some proxy your transactions through remote servers. When something goes wrong, there is no changelog or ticketing system—just a silent admin channel.
FRB’s approach to trust
FRB publishes signed installers, SHA-256 hashes on /releases, refund policy, SLA, and security disclosure docs right on the marketing site. Funds stay in your wallet, node pairing makes hardware accountable, and telemetry gives you forensic evidence if a trade misfires. That’s the baseline you need to pass internal audits.
Key evaluation questions
- Can you independently verify the build? FRB: yes. Telegram scripts: almost never.
- Where is support handled? FRB: dedicated portal. Telegram: DMs.
- What happens during a refund or exploit? FRB: documented policy. Telegram: unclear.
- How many relays/networks are supported? FRB: multi-chain. Telegram: usually single.
If you answered “no” to any of the above for your current script, pivot now. The amount of capital you save by skipping one exploit is worth more than any “free” Telegram tool.
Warning signs to look for
- Admin only accepts payments via one-off wallet addresses.
- Script requires you to share seed phrases or private keys.
- No documentation outside a Telegram pin; no mention of refunds or support.
- Relay endpoints are hidden, so you cannot evaluate inclusion or latency.
If three or more signs apply, treat the offer as hostile. Use FRB or other verifiable software instead.
| Capability | FRB Agent | Telegram scripts |
|---|---|---|
| Source & signing | Authenticode-signed EXE + SHA-256 on Releases | Unofficial script links, no signing |
| Relay support | Flashbots, Polygon, BNB, Base, with auto-rotation | Single relay or public mempool only |
| Node pairing | PIN pairing, node labels, uptime tracking | Manual config, often single-session |
| Risk guard rails | Budget caps, withdraw locks, refund policy | No policy; funds custodial with script owner |
| Compliance assets | Refund, Risk disclosure, Telemetry docs | None |
Security posture
- Signed executable with SHA-256 posted publicly.
- No Telegram custody: funds stay in your wallet.
- Node pairing ensures you know exactly which hardware is live.
Operational readiness
- Telemetry & refund policies documented for procurement.
- Support/SLA page plus vulnerability disclosure process.
- Knowledge Base + video FAQ for onboarding teams.

How to use this FRB vs Telegram comparison
Drop this card into your decision memo, list the gaps you found in Telegram scripts (missing signing, unknown transaction ordering, no refunds), and link to FRB’s policy pages. Executives want proof that you evaluated custody, smart contracts, and latency—not just price.
- Summarize the risk (loss of funds, pending transaction leakage, exploit risk).
- Attach the feature table plus Ops Pulse screenshots to your ticket.
- End with an action: install FRB or escalate requirements if something is missing.

Can we harden a Telegram script ourselves? Maybe, but you’ll still need to sign builds, archive versions, and document policies. FRB already does that work, so most desks would rather spend time on strategies instead of plumbing.
What about self-hosted APIs? APIs are fine if you have engineering resources. Just make sure you meet the same standards (signing, telemetry, refunds) that FRB offers. You can still feed FRB data into your pipeline later.
How do we convince stakeholders to migrate? Share this comparison, link to security andtelemetry pages, and highlight the refund policy. Most compliance teams approve within a week once they see the paperwork.
