Today we talk about Discord and why we are using it so much.

Web3 tech is transforming the way we think about ownership, value, and community in the digital world, and with blockchain technology and smart contracts, creators can finally take control of their work and connect directly with their audience. But as with any new technology, there are challenges and opportunities to consider. One of the biggest is building trust and creating strong communities. That's where Discord comes in.

Discord is a chat and voice platform that was originally created for gamers. It quickly became popular among online communities, and now it's becoming an essential tool for Web3 enthusiasts and startups.

Why? Well, for one, it's incredibly versatile. You can create channels for specific topics, events, or projects. You can also use Discord to connect with people from all over the world, making it easy to build global communities.

And two, (and perhaps the biggest advantage of Discord) is the sense of trust and familiarity it creates between members. In a smaller, more intimate community, people are more likely to feel connected to one another and to the community as a whole. This can lead to more collaboration, networking, and ultimately, more success for everyone involved.

However, there are also some downsides to using Discord for Web3 communities. One of the biggest concerns is security. Discord has been the target of hacks and security breaches in the past, which can be a major issue when dealing with sensitive information or valuable assets like NFTs.

Despite these concerns, Discord remains one of the best platforms for building Web3 communities and connecting with like-minded individuals. By leveraging this power and other Web3 tools, artists and creators can take control of their work and build strong communities that support and uplift one another.
