Base v4 buy alerts need v4-aware setup

Base Uniswap v4 launches do not always look like older pair markets. Pool IDs, full pool keys, hooks, and Clanker-style routes can matter. If the alert setup only expects a normal pair address, the group may watch the wrong thing or miss buys entirely.

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.

Uniswap v4 uses a PoolManager and identifies pools differently from v2-style pairs. For a token team, the practical takeaway is not academic: use a buybot setup that can follow v4 pool IDs, full pool-key setup, and hook-based launches.

Add @BAESBuyBot for a Base v4 token

Start with /watch before launch pressure hits the group. Use the exact block where the token was first minted, or a block very close to it:

/watch base 0xToken any <firstMintBlock> uniswap v4 all

If your launch uses a Clanker-style v4 hook route, narrow the command:

/watch base 0xToken any <firstMintBlock> uniswap v4 clanker

That keeps the setup focused on the kind of v4 pool the community is actually trading.

When you already know the pool

If you have the v4 pool ID, add it directly:

/pool base 0xV4PoolId 0xTargetToken <firstMintBlock>

If you have the full pool key, use:

/pool base 0xCurrency0 0xCurrency1 3000 60 0xHooks 0xTargetToken

This path is useful when the team or deployer already knows the exact pool. It also avoids the stress of trying to discover the route while the chat is asking why alerts are quiet.

Telegram setup checklist

After the pool is added, run:

/pools
/settings
/topic here

Use /settings to tune the alert threshold, media, text, and emoji. Use /topic here inside a Telegram forum topic if buy posts should land in a dedicated alerts thread.

What makes a good v4 setup note

For a Base v4 launch, the best setup note includes the token address, first-mint block, pool ID if known, hook address if relevant, and the Telegram group or topic where posts should appear. That information keeps setup focused on the market the team actually cares about.

It is also worth deciding how public the alert feed should be. Some teams want every early buy visible because the group is small and momentum matters. Others prefer a higher minimum buy size so the feed feels curated. Open /settings before launch and pick the style deliberately instead of changing it while the room is watching.

Need another chain?

Base is the main v4 launch environment covered here. If you want similar usage on another chain, or if your launch uses a route that is not listed yet, contact @mrtdlgc on Twitter/X or Telegram. Send the token, chain, pool ID or pool address, and DEX name.

Summary

Base Uniswap v4 buy alerts need v4-aware setup. Use /watch with the first-mint block to enable, and /pool when you already know the pool ID or full pool key. For Clanker-style launches, include the clanker filter so the bot follows the right route from the start.
