How to add a Discord Channel Link for a token on GeckoTerminal?

Issues with Private Discord invitation links

Private Discord invitation links pose several threats:

• Security Risks: When a Discord invitation link expires, malicious actors can create fake servers impersonating legitimate projects by mimicking the same link through a customisable vanity link leading to their fake Discord server. From there, they can lure poorly informed users to phishing sites and wallet drainers. Although GeckoTerminal carefully curated any social links including Discord to be added in prior, it is crucial for users to verify the legitimacy of the link.
• Inconvenience: Users might find that the invitation link they have is no longer valid, which leads to frustration.

FAQs

1. Why does GeckoTerminal require non-expiring Discord channel links?

Discord channel links/ vanity links ensure users always access the intended Discord server, lowering the chances of encountering expired/ invalid links, which could potentially be exploited by malicious actors.

2. Can I use a regular Discord link if my server is not boosted to Level 3?

Unfortunately no. Only Discord vanity links are accepted at this time.

3. Where should I contact if I face issues in creating a vanity link?
