# What is InviteBot? Telegram Mutual Aid Platform

> InviteBot is a Telegram-based peer-to-peer mutual aid platform. Learn how it connects givers and receivers through Intents, Orders, and MAVRO.

InviteBot is a Telegram-based mutual aid platform that connects people who are ready to give financial help with people who need to receive it. Everything happens through the Telegram bot — you create Intents, submit Help Requests, fulfill Orders, and track your balance without leaving the app. The platform does not act as a bank or intermediary: it organizes and records transfers that happen directly between participants.

<Info>
  InviteBot never holds your money. Every transfer goes directly from one participant's account to another. If a transfer is not made, no funds move anywhere.
</Info>

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Declare your readiness to give">
    Create an **Intent** to tell the system how much you are ready to transfer and in which currency (RUB or USDT). Your Guider reviews and approves it before any Orders are created.
  </Step>

  <Step title="The system matches you with someone who needs help">
    Once your Intent is active, InviteBot pairs it with one or more approved **Help Requests** from other participants. Each match becomes an **Order** — a specific instruction telling you who to send funds to and for how much.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Transfer funds directly">
    You send the amount from the Order straight to the recipient's bank card, SBP number, or USDT wallet, then confirm in the bot. No money passes through InviteBot.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Earn MAVRO">
    After your transfer is confirmed, you receive **MAVRO** — abstract units that record your giving history. Your MAVRO balance sets the limit for how much help you can request in return.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit a Help Request">
    With confirmed MAVRO in your account, you can submit a **Help Request** up to your allowed limit. The system then creates Orders for other participants to transfer funds to you.
  </Step>
</Steps>

| **Participants**                       | Regular members who give and receive help through Intents, Orders, and Help Requests.                                                               |
| **Guiders (Десятники / Консультанты)** | Experienced participants who supervise groups, approve Intents and Help Requests, and support newcomers. They are community members, not employees. |
| **Administrators**                     | Manage the overall platform configuration and handle escalated issues.                                                                              |

## What you need to get started

* A Telegram account
* An invite link from an existing participant or Guider
* At least one set of payment details — a bank card number, SBP phone number, or USDT wallet address

You register your payment details with `/account_add` inside the bot. You need them to receive help later.
