Get Started (Free)
Set up Daxeon's free tier on your Discord server in minutes.
The free tier gives you scammer alerts, basic chat filtering, CAPTCHA verification, and activity logging at no cost. Follow these steps to get protected.
1. Invite Daxeon
Add Daxeon to Discord, or use the "Add to Discord" button on daxeon.bot. Select your Discord server, then look at the permission list before you authorize.
Daxeon requests Administrator by default. That is the simplest setup and what most servers use. You can untick it and grant only the permissions below instead, and every feature still works.
View Channel
Reading messages in the channels you want protected
Read Message History
Removing a message that is no longer recent
Send Messages
Posting alerts and log entries
Send Messages in Threads
Posting those inside threads and forum posts
Embed Links
Every alert and log entry is an embed
Attach Files
Sending the 2FA enrolment QR code
Manage Messages
Deleting a message that breaks a filter
Manage Roles
Assigning the verified role, creating staff roles
Manage Channels
Creating a log channel for you during setup
Manage Nicknames
Clearing an impersonating nickname
Manage Server
Turning off member DMs
Manage Webhooks
Removing a malicious webhook
View Audit Log
Spotting a webhook the moment it is created
Kick Members
Removing unverified members and impersonators
Ban Members
Banning known scammers
If you untick Administrator, check your channel permissions as well. A channel that denies View Channel to @everyone hides it from Daxeon too, unless the Daxeon role is added to that channel. Daxeon cannot filter a channel it cannot see.
2. Position the Daxeon Role
In your Discord server settings, go to Roles and drag the Daxeon role above the roles it needs to manage. Daxeon can only moderate users with roles below its own.
3. Run the Setup Wizard
Type /setup in any channel. The wizard replies privately to you and works through your server's configuration step by step.
On the free tier, the wizard covers:
Checking that the Daxeon role sits high enough in your hierarchy
Setting staff roles (admin and moderator)
Choosing a log channel
Choosing which chat filters to set up
Configuring the filters you chose
Setting up ignored channels
Enabling CAPTCHA verification
Choosing your filters
The chat filter step gives you a menu with three options: Link Filter, Invite Filter, and Cryptocurrency Filter. Links and invites start selected because they are what most communities need. Cryptocurrency address filtering is there if your community trades. Leave it unselected and you never see an address screen.
Only the filters you select get a configuration screen, and you switch each one on from that screen.
Safe defaults for links
The link filter step has an Apply Safe Defaults button. It allowlists a short curated list covering Discord and gif hosts, then switches link filtering on. That ordering is the point: the domains your members share constantly are already allowed before the filter starts deleting anything.
The free tier list is short enough to leave most of your 20-domain allowlist unspent. The screen shows how many slots remain, so you can plan the domains you want to add by hand.
4. What You Get
Once setup is complete, your server is protected with:
Scammer alerts - Known scammers trigger a log notification when they join. Your mods can then ban manually.
Chat filters - Filter links, Discord invites, wallet addresses, and handles, sharing a combined cap of 5 actions per day.
Allowlists - Approve trusted domains, addresses, handles, and invites so legitimate content isn't blocked.
CAPTCHA verification - New members must complete a CAPTCHA before gaining access.
Activity logging - All Daxeon actions are logged to your designated channel.
