Discord is a chatting application for gamers. But due to its brilliant features, it has become equally popular in developer and crypto communities. In crypto and blockchain-based Discord servers, users get to interact and learn from highly qualified technical people. But, before any interaction, users first have to join a server.

What are Discord Servers?

Discord servers are communities dedicated to a specific topic or field. For example, cryptocurrency trading servers, blockchain programming servers, or NFT related servers, all are available on Discord. Each server then further has different channels dedicated to specific sub-topics.

Let’s take an example of a cryptocurrency trading server. This server would have channels dedicated to the cryptocurrencies of interest to the people in the community like Bitcoin, Eth and Monero XMR.

When you join a server, you usually get access to all of the text and voice channels automatically.
