Hydrex is not just another v2 pair
Hydrex on Base uses an Algebra-style route, which means teams should not set it up like a plain pair market. From the Telegram group's perspective, the desired outcome is simple: buys happen on Hydrex and the alerts post. The setup needs to name that route so the bot does not look in the wrong place.
When you are ready to add alerts, invite @BAESBuyBot to the Telegram group, give it permission to post, and run the route command from that group or topic.
baes scan supports Base Hydrex Algebra pools with an explicit Hydrex filter and direct pool entry for known markets.
Enable Hydrex alerts
Invite @BAESBuyBot to the Telegram group, then run /watch with the exact first-mint block or a block very close to it:
/watch base 0xToken any <firstMintBlock> hydrex algebra all
If you know the quote token, use it:
/watch base 0xToken usdc <firstMintBlock> hydrex algebra all
If the pool address is known:
/pool base 0xPoolAddress 0xTargetToken
Direct pool entry is the safest setup when the team is preparing before launch or when the token has multiple concentrated-liquidity markets.
Telegram settings
Run:
/settings
Choose minimum buy size, media, emoji, and alert text. In a topic-based group, run this from the topic where buy posts should land:
/topic here
Use /pools afterward to confirm the group is tracking the Hydrex pool you intended.
/pools
Practical launch notes
Hydrex-specific setup is useful because "v3-like" is not enough language for a Telegram moderator. If the active pool is on Hydrex, say Hydrex in the command. That gives the team a setup that matches the DEX link they are sharing and avoids confusion with Uniswap or PancakeSwap pools on the same chain.
If the token has several pools, save the exact Hydrex pool. Direct entry makes the alert feed more stable, especially if liquidity is moved or seeded in stages. After setup, send one test note to the team explaining the command used and the pool being watched. That small setup note prevents later arguments about why a different chart is not triggering posts.
Thresholds matter here too. Start lower for launch visibility, then raise once the room is busy.
Hydrex alerts are a good fit when the community already shares a Hydrex chart or pool link. In that case, do not hide the DEX name behind a generic command. Naming Hydrex in the setup makes the guide, the chart, and the Telegram output all point to the same place. That is easier for mods, traders, and anyone checking the group after launch.
Use the first-mint block as the block argument even if the Hydrex pool was created later. It is the cleanest public instruction for token teams: find the token's first mint, use that block or one very close to it, then verify the saved pool with /pools.
Need another Hydrex-style route?
This setup covers Base Hydrex. If you need Hydrex-style or Algebra-style buy alerts on another chain, contact @mrtdlgc on Twitter/X or Telegram and include the chain, token, DEX, and pool address if available.
Summary
For Hydrex on Base, use the hydrex algebra filter or add the known pool with /pool. The point is precision: tell the bot the route, confirm the pool, then let the Telegram alerts do their job.
