1. **Start the Bot**: Click on the bot and press the **Start** button at the bottom of the chat to initiate the bot. You’ll see a welcome message with a list of commands and features.
2. **Grant Permissions**: Some alerts may require you to enable notifications in your Telegram settings. Make sure notifications are turned on so you don’t miss any important alerts.

**Setting Up Alerts**

1. **Add an Address**: To start tracking an address, use the **Add Address** command from the bot's menu or type `/addaddress [address]` in the chat. This will add the address for transaction and health factor monitoring.
2. **Enable Specific Alerts**: Use the bot’s menu to configure different types of alerts:
   * **Liquidation Alerts**: Go to the **Liquidation Alerts** option to toggle liquidation notifications on or off.
   * **Borrow Rate Alerts**: Select **Borrow Rate** in the menu to set specific thresholds for borrow rate alerts.
   * **Health Factor Alerts**: Use **Health Factor** to receive notifications if the health factor of a tracked address reaches critical levels.
3. **View and Manage Subscriptions**: You can view all active alerts and tracked addresses by selecting the **View My Alerts** option in the menu. From here, you can also adjust or remove any alerts as needed.
