Discord is facing significant challenges, especially among web3 communities that hinder secure and meaningful community interactions. These challenges include: - Insecurity and Lack of Accountability: Discord lacks robust security measures, making it susceptible to malicious activities and impersonation. - Difficulty in Controlling Channel Access: Discord lacks efficient gating mechanisms for channels, leading to difficulties in managing access and participation. - Lack of User Reputation Validation: Discord lacks an on-chain reputation system to assess user credibility and contribution within the community. - Absence of Native Rewards for Positive Actions: Users who actively contribute and help others are not recognized or rewarded, resulting in a lack of motivation and community growth.

The ultimate web3 Discord platform should be leveraging an open social tech stack such as Orbis to create a secure, transparent, and engaging web3 community platform. By introducing transparent action (using an open network to verify user social action based on their onchain Solana identity), effective gating mechanisms, leveraging on-chain Solana activity for user reputation, and implementing native rewards, the platform will foster trust, incentivization, and recognition among community members.
