# Deploy and Host Telegram Gatekeeper Bot on Railway

## What is Telegram Gatekeeper Bot?

Telegram Gatekeeper Bot is a moderation bot designed to protect Telegram groups
from spam and automated accounts. It restricts new members when they join,
verifies them using a simple emoji challenge, and automatically removes users
who fail to verify within a configurable timeout. The bot helps keep groups
clean, readable, and spam-free with minimal setup.
