What is coinbase-copy-trading-bot?

This is a TypeScript bot that watches a specific cryptocurrency wallet on the Base blockchain network and automatically mirrors its trades on your own Coinbase account. The idea is that you identify a trader whose moves you want to follow, provide their wallet address, and the bot handles the rest: detecting when they buy or sell, sending you an alert on Telegram, and placing a matching order in your account at a fixed dollar amount you choose. The detection cycle is described as roughly 12 seconds from when the target wallet makes a move to when your trade executes. Each alert arrives as a Telegram message telling you what the target did and what your bot placed in response. For example, if the target bought Ethereum and you configured a fixed trade size of $100, your account would place a $100 buy order and you would receive a notification confirming it filled. Setup requires a Coinbase Advanced Trade API key, a Telegram bot token from Telegram's BotFather service, and Node.js installed on your machine. You copy a template configuration file, fill in your target wallet address, API credentials, and trade size, then run the bot. A paper trading mode is turned on by default, which logs simulated trades without spending real money, so you can observe how it would behave before committing real funds. The README recommends starting with paper trading for several days and choosing a fixed trade size you are comfortable losing on any single trade. It notes that copying a wallet's past performance does not predict future results and that the bot does not constitute financial advice. The project is open source under the MIT license.
