How to set up NFT Discord Server

In case you haven't heard, NFTs are more popular than ever. As the NFT hype continues to grow, many people want to be part of the NFT space.

Discord is a great place to set up a community for your NFT project. This guide will cover everything you need to know to make an NFT discord server.

H2: Step 1: Create A Discord Server

The first step into building your NFT community in Discord is to create your server. You can either start from scratch or follow a template.

Using a template is easy. All you need to do is paste the template URL into your browser, and you're all set (roles, channels, and permissions)!

H2: Step 2: Assign Roles

If you decide to start from scratch, it helps to know how to assign roles in your NFT server.

Here are the key roles you'll want to assign:

  • Admins - Admins have full access to your server. They can create, modify and delete any role you assign them.
  • Moderators - Moderators can delete messages and ban users from your server.
  • Developers - Developers manage the technical aspects of your server.
  • Artists - Artists create the artworks that eventually become the NFT project itself.
  • Members - Members join the server after being verified.

You can easily identify users by assigning a unique color to each role. Finally, you can always edit role permissions in the server later on.

H2: Step 3: Create Categories and Server Channels

Once you've assigned your roles, it's time to build the backbone of your NFT server. How you setup your channel largely influences the flow of information within your NFT community.

To create a channel, follow the steps below:

  1. Right-click on the Discord side panel.
  2. Select "Create Channel"
  3. Choose a channel type and name it.

It helps to create categories so members can easily identify the type of content they seek when they're on your server. Under each category, you will set up relevant channels.

H3: Information

The information category is all about sharing the latest news and updates.

Create the following channels for this category:

About

This channel is a place for members to find out more about your server and what it offers. If you have specific rules or guidelines for members to follow, this is a great place to share them.

Announcements

Members can find important updates and news here. This is an excellent place to share changes or updates on the server, new features, and more.

Roadmap

NFT developers need to give their patrons a sense of direction. This channel is a great place to share the plans for your NFT collection and to give members an idea of what’s coming up next.

FAQ

This channels answers the burning questions members (especially newcomers) might have, including:

  • When does minting start?
  • What is the minting rate?
  • How many NFTs in the collection will be minted?

H3: Community

The community category is where members and enthusiasts interact with one another. Once verified, members can start talking about the NFT projects here.

Within this category, you should create the following channels:

Marketplace

The marketplace channel allows you to set up NFT auctions and buy-sell NFTs in the collection.
