How to Optimise Your Telegram and X Accounts for High Performance Crypto Campaigns

At Degen.io our performance depends on more than just volume, it depends on quality. A huge part of that is how real our shillers look when they engage. Every tweet, reply or message reflects directly on the project we are supporting and if the account behind it looks low effort or fake, the message loses all credibility. If you want to get approved for top campaigns and earn better tasks, your Telegram and X accounts must be clean, human and believable. In this guide we break down what works, what gets banned and how to structure your accounts like real crypto investors.
Why Account Presentation Matters
When a dev hires us to drive exposure and community growth, they expect results that feel organic. If the accounts doing the work look spammy or obviously part of a promo network, it damages the project’s image. Even worse, low quality accounts get banned from groups and flagged by platforms which slows down the entire campaign. A single bad account can ruin the tone in a Telegram chat or kill a comment thread before it builds momentum. If your account looks like a real user, you increase impact. If it looks fake, you are wasting your own effort.
What Real Investors Actually Do
Real investors behave very differently from shillers. They do not rush into a group and say hi or good project. They observe first, scroll through messages, check pinned posts, read what others are saying and only engage when they have something useful to add. Their comments are minimal and focused. They do not post 10 messages in a row. They might ask a smart question, agree with someone, or make an observation. Most of the time, they say nothing at all. If you want to blend in like them, mirror their behaviour. Do not overpost, do not greet the group and do not drop links randomly.
Examples of Realistic Engagement
Just saw LP locked, bullish
This feels early FLOKI
Dev looks solid, checked their last launch
Surprised there is no audit yet, anyone know why
Tokenomics is simple and clean, watching this one
Pinned info looks tight, may jump in
These are the types of one liners real investors post. They react to specific parts of the project, do not overhype, and sound like they have been in the space a while.
Best Practices for Telegram Accounts
Use a normal name like Josh, Amy, Luca, Bella or even a short nickname. Your username should be clean, something like @amy_crypto, @lukaxrp, @degenmax. Avoid usernames that include the words shiller, pump, moon, trend or spam terms. Leave the bio empty or write something simple like Into web3 or Crypto curious. Do not use emoji chains. Use a profile picture that looks human or clean. Anime, neutral crypto art or a real person’s photo all work. Do not use token logos, memes or blank images. Your behaviour matters more than your bio. When joining a group, scroll first, then engage naturally in the ongoing conversation.
Best Practices for X Accounts
Your handle should look like a real person, not a bot. Examples include @joshb91, @amydegen, @dave_eth, @chloexrp. Display names should be simple and human. A bio is optional, but if included, keep it clean. Examples include Lurker, DeFi user, Just watching the space. Avoid writing Promoter, Trending daily, DM for promo or anything similar. Profile picture should never be a meme, logo or something low effort. Clean crypto artwork, a face or a neutral design works best. Timelines should have a few retweets, memes or simple opinions, not just copy paste promo spam.
Accounts That Get Rejected
If your Telegram name is 🔥BUY NOW🔥 or your X handle is @PumpMoonToday with a bio that says Trending daily, DM for promo, your account is doing more harm than good. These are the kinds of profiles that get banned from groups, ignored in comment threads and flagged by platforms. It shows you are not trying to blend in and that reflects badly on both the project and our agency.
Degen.io Standards
All Telegram and X accounts used for Degen.io campaigns must follow these rules
No usernames with shiller, pump or obvious spam terms
No emoji spam or keyword overload in bios
Display names must look like real people
Profile pictures must be clean and not meme or logo based
Bios should be either empty or subtle
Accounts must be aged and look active, not brand new or empty
Accounts that do not meet these standards will not be approved for tasks or future campaigns.
Final Thoughts
The best shillers are the ones no one suspects. If you blend in with real investors, post naturally and keep your account looking clean, you will not only help the project succeed but also earn access to better tasks, longer campaigns and more trust from both clients and team leads. First impressions matter. One bad account can lose a group. One clean message from a real looking account can flip the room.
Clean up your profile, post smart and let’s shill properly
