Telegram Bot

Upload files to IPFS and deploy websites directly from any Telegram group. Each group connects its own wallet — one bot, many communities, fully isolated budgets.

What It Does

Each Telegram group runs with its own wallet and budget. Group admins run /setup once to connect a wallet — members use commands or just @mention the bot to chat with it.

Upload & Deploy

Upload any file or deploy a full website to IPFS with a single command. Cost is shown before you confirm — no surprises.

AI @mention replies

Mention @Glashaus in any message to chat with the bot. It can answer questions, fetch your stats, check analytics, and upload files from URLs.

Per-group budgets

Each group sets its own monthly USDC ceiling. Uploads that would exceed the limit are blocked automatically — no shared cost between groups.

GitHub Free Tier

Link a GitHub account to unlock 100 MB/day for 1-day pins at zero cost — no wallet funds needed for small uploads.

Non-Custodial

Each group admin stores their own private key — encrypted on the bot server, never shared. The Glashaus API only receives signed payment proofs.

Admin controls

Setup, limit changes, and wallet management are restricted to Telegram group administrators. No extra configuration required.

Add to Your Group

You need Administrator permission in your Telegram group. The bot is ready to use in under two minutes.

Add the bot to your group

Open your group settings, tap Members → Add Members, search for the bot username, and confirm. Grant it admin permission so it can read all messages.

@GlashausxyzBot

Run /setup

As a group admin, run /setup in the group. The bot will respond with an inline keyboard.

/setup

Generate or import a wallet

Tap "Generate wallet" for a brand-new EVM wallet — the bot creates one instantly and shows you the private key as a spoiler (save it!). Or tap "Import wallet" to enter your own private key.

Set your monthly spending limit

After the key is accepted, the bot asks for a monthly USDC spending cap (default 10 USDC). Adjust it to match how much you want the group to spend per month. You can change it any time with /setlimit.

Fund the wallet and start uploading

Send USDC on Base to the wallet address shown in the setup confirmation. Then any group member can run /upload or mention @Glashaus to get started.

/upload ← then send a file

How Glashaus, x402 payments, and IPFS pinning work

Talk to the Bot

Instead of commands, you can just @mention Glashaus in any message. Claude reads your request and calls the right tools automatically. In private DMs, every message is treated as a mention.

@Glashaus what are my storage stats?

@Glashaus pin this image: https://example.com/photo.jpg

@Glashaus how much have we spent this month?

@Glashaus list our last 5 uploaded files

@Glashaus what does x402 mean?

File attachments in mentions are not supported — use /upload for those. URLs work fine.
