Daxeon's chat filters are designed to protect your community from scams, spam, and impersonation attempts by automatically scanning messages in real time. These tools help you enforce trust and safety without requiring constant manual moderation.

This section explains how to configure and manage the various filters available, including:

* Blocking unauthorized crypto addresses (ADA, EVM, BTC)
* Filtering unapproved domains and Discord invites
* Preventing impersonation via reserved names and protected avatars
* Controlling where filtered messages are allowed

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: Only admins can manage filter settings. Check [Daxeon Admin](/daxeon-knowledge-hub/bot-guide/administering-daxeon/daxeon-admin.md) to review your current configuration.

### Permissions

Every chat filter uses the same permissions. Daxeon needs **View Channel** and **Read Message History** in the channels you want filtered, **Manage Messages** to delete what it catches, and **Send Messages** with **Embed Links** in your log channel.

A channel that denies **View Channel** to `@everyone` is hidden from Daxeon as well, unless the Daxeon role is added to that channel. Daxeon cannot filter a channel it cannot see.
