Common Q&A Responses

"What is T420?"

T420 is DePIN infrastructure for autonomous vehicle coordination. FleetOS connects fleets with service providers (mechanics, charging, tires) — payments settle on-chain via Solana.

"How do I buy tokens?"

Presale is live at portal.t420.io. Connect your Solana wallet, choose your tier. Full details at learn.t420.io. DYOR, NFA.

"When launch/listing?"

Post-presale. We're building utility first. Follow @t420_io for updates. No specific date yet.

"Is this legit?"

Founder Zane is doxxed, ran 200+ vehicle fleets in South Africa. FleetOS is in beta with real users. Check learn.t420.io for deck and details. Always DYOR.

"What's the token utility?"

T420 tokens: zone license staking, supplier priority access, governance votes, and protocol fee sharing. When fleets operate, value flows through the token.

"Solana or ETH?"

Solana. Sub-second finality + near-zero fees = practical for real-world fleet operations. ETH gas would kill the unit economics for daily service payments.

"Team/who's behind this?"

Founder is Zane — fleet operations background in South Africa (200+ vehicles). Building in public. Twitter: @t420_io

const bot = new TelegramBot(process.env.T420_BOT_TOKEN, { polling: true });
const COMMUNITY_GROUP_ID = process.env.T420_COMMUNITY_GROUP_ID;

// Post announcement
async function postAnnouncement(message) {
  await bot.sendMessage(COMMUNITY_GROUP_ID, message, { parse_mode: 'Markdown' });
}

// Listen for messages
bot.on('message', async (msg) => {
  if (msg.chat.id.toString() === COMMUNITY_GROUP_ID) {
    // Process message, check for questions, respond if appropriate
    const text = msg.text?.toLowerCase() || '';

    if (text.includes('?') || text.includes('how') || text.includes('what')) {
      // Potential question — analyze and respond
    }
  }
});

// Welcome new members
bot.on('new_chat_members', async (msg) => {
  const names = msg.new_chat_members.map(m => m.first_name).join(', ');
  await bot.sendMessage(msg.chat.id, `Welcome ${names}! Check pinned messages for links. Questions welcome.`);
