The fee is published, which counts
Banana Gun states its fees plainly — 0.5% on manual trades and 1% on snipes, with no subscription and no hidden costs. Among Telegram trading bots, which often bury or omit their fees, a published percentage is worth crediting and is the strongest part of the entry.
Wallet, but not custody
Users can generate a fresh wallet within the bot or import their own, and it supports Ethereum, Solana, Base and Blast, with a fifth chain on the Banana Pro web terminal. What the pages do not state is whether the bot holds your keys once a wallet is generated — the central custody question for any Telegram trading bot.
The gaps
No security posture is documented and no operating entity is named. For a tool that executes trades from a generated wallet, both are real gaps, and they hold the lower scores. The review reports the published fee and states plainly what could not be verified.
Who builds it
Banana Gun is run by an anonymous team — its documentation names no company and no individuals, listing only a locked team allocation in its tokenomics. It launched around 2023 and has its own BANANA token, which its docs describe as carrying governance rights and a share of fee revenue. For a Telegram trading bot that executes swaps on users' behalf, an entirely anonymous team is the central risk to weigh against its convenience.
