# Celo Discord Bot ** A Latam Project**


## **Motivation**



A common mistake we make as developers is to assume that users can access the features we implement from our perspective. We forget to a certain extent that they are not experts and usually we use technical language (typical of the crypto ecosystem) that makes it even more complex.


**[Celo](https://celo.org)** has great potential in relation to the concept of being easily accessible from the mobile context.


This bot aims to use as an existing communication channel of one of the applications that many users use on a daily basis such as Discord. 



**Celo Discord Bot** allows a user to create their account, check their balance and transfer it to another user. Finally, this bot can be easily integrated with Valora and extended to be a faucet of the official **[Celo](https://celo.org)** Discord Channel.

# Use Cases 
##### UC1
> As a **user** I want to **use Discord** so that I can **create my first account** on  Celo

##### UC2
> As a **user** I want to **use Discord** so that I can **check my balance** 


##### UC3
> As a user I want to **use Discord** so that I can easely **integrate my account** with my phone with a **simple QR** code **scan**.

##### UC4
> As a **user** I want to **use Discord** so that I can **send Celo to another user**

##### UC5
> As an **user** I want to **query** the **ETH/CELO price**






#### Answer to what does DeFi (or an Ethereum native app) look like when it’s designed for mobile-first?

A native application must first meet usability standards. Follow heuristics that allow users to have a better experience and facilitate their task. Also they should define and follow a standardized design guide. In this context, this bot follows the design guides proposed within the Discord framework.
