Please be mindful of the influx of verification requests that we will receive during the initial roll-out. During this time period, we will evaluate our process to ensure that we can commit to faster turnaround times after the deprecation period has ended.

Once you submit a verification request, a human will look at your submission and get back to you.įrom now until the deadline of October 7, 2020, while no limits are being enforced, we will strive for a five business day turnaround time for all verification requests. This process is currently available for bots in more than 75 servers, to allow developers to preemptively apply. At the top of that page will be a banner with instructions on how to get started. Head on over to your bot's settings page in the Developer Portal. Until that date, no restrictions will be enforced.Īfter being verified, your bot will receive a Verified check mark, to show it's legit! How do I start the process? We recognize that this is a big change, so we’re instituting a 6 month deprecation period ending on Octoto get everyone verified that meets the criteria. If your bot is already in more than 100 servers, it will not be able to join any more. Until your bot is verified, you will not be able to grow past 100 servers. Therefore, we are making verification a requirement for bots in 100 or more servers.

We want to ensure that we continue to uphold that as our bot ecosystem grows. Protecting user privacy and security, as well as maintaining trust, is our utmost responsibility. It also means that bots can safely grow orders of magnitude larger than they are today. It means we can encourage users to adopt bots within Discord, instead of scouring the internet.

Verification means that we can release features that give developers more control over Discord. It’s the secure foundation we need to unlock new features and visibility for developers. Verification is a big step in the world of Discord bots.
