Telegram Crypto Escrow Bot - 07/11/2026 02:50 EST

I need a Telegram bot that acts as a secure escrow for peer-to-peer deals. Its only job is to handle transactions, and those transactions will be in cryptocurrency. The bot must accept deposits in Litecoin as well as USDT on the BEP-20, TRC-20 and ERC-20 networks, hold the funds safely, then release or refund them when both parties (or a moderator) give the appropriate command. Core flow: a buyer or seller calls /startescrow, the bot supplies deposit addresses, tracks on-chain confirmations, locks the funds, and waits for /release or /cancel. I also want an admin override for dispute resolution, automatic fee deduction, and clear status messages so no one is confused about where their coins are. Please build this with the official Telegram Bot API and reliable blockchain libraries (web3.py, tron-py, litecoin-rpc, or similar). Keep everything self-hosted—no custodial third-party gateways unless they are open-source and fully auditable. Docker deployment is preferred so I can spin the bot up quickly on my server. Deliverables: • Well-commented source code for the bot • Dockerfile or equivalent deployment guide • Live demo on both testnet and mainnet showing a full escrow cycle • Short security brief covering private-key storage and double-spend prevention I also have additional features I want the bot to have. Also, I'll need additional bots and chats that work hand in hand with the escrow bot which I'll explain further I have 2 existing sample bots I can give for a sample Once the bot runs smoothly and the demo checks out, I’ll sign off. Feel free to ask for any clarifications along the way.
