Using the Telegram Bot API, RapydBot implements some of the Rapyd API’s features to allow any Telegram user to create a
Rapyd e-wallet, top up its balance using their card, cash payment or a bank transfer, and use that money in a variety of ways
to create innovative chat economies, all within the Telegram interface.
