1. Decide the shape

One post, a 5-KOL micro wave, or an 8–12 KOL listing wave. Single posts are same-day. Waves are staggered or sequenced across a window.

2. Gather four things

Contract address (or tick "not deployed yet"), chain or event, budget in USD, and a Telegram handle. That is the whole booking form.

3. Know the price drivers

Follower count of the handle, the hour you want, and how many handles you book. A 09:00 UTC slot is cheaper than a 13:30 UTC slot on the same account.

4. Read what you get

A post carrying your contract address, the chain, a paid label and a risk line. No price targets, no audit claims, no trending placement.

Questions

What is the fastest way to get a CA posted?

Book a single post before 14:00 UTC. Slot times come back within 20 minutes and the post goes out the same afternoon.

How much should I budget?

At least $400 for one mid-tier post. $1,800–$3,500 for a 5-KOL wave. $4,000–$8,000 for a listing wave.

Do I need a deployed contract to book?

No. Tick "not deployed yet" and send the CA on Telegram before the slot.

What should a paid post never claim?

Price targets, guaranteed returns, audits it did not do, or exchange listings. The desk rejects that copy.

Is this different from an agency?

Yes. There is no retainer and no managed campaign. You book a post on a named account and get a slot time.

Booked before 14:00 UTC posts today

Send the contract address, the chain and a budget. You get a slot time back within 20 minutes, on Telegram.
