Discord Growth System
The Discord growth system turns user behavior into a loop built around points, tasks, campaigns, raffles, and the shop. Discord works best when these actions are concentrated in configured channels.
Unlike Telegram Forum Topics, Discord is usually organized with channel ID targeting. Sentinel supports channel IDs for each growth submodule so new content is published to the right channel and users interact in the right place.
Points system
Points are the accounting unit for community behavior.
They can track:
- Messages
- Task completions
- Campaign participation
- Raffle spending
- Shop redemptions
- Manual admin adjustments
Put point queries and leaderboards in a dedicated channel to avoid command noise in the main chat.
Task system
Tasks structure operating actions.
Common tasks:
- Message tasks
- Invite tasks
- External link or screenshot submissions
- Campaign participation tasks
- Manual review tasks
When creating a task, configure the task channel ID. After creation, the bot publishes the task to that channel and users submit there.
Campaigns
Campaigns hold operating moments such as:
- AMA warmups
- Launch campaigns
- Airdrop registration
- Prediction campaigns
- Community challenges
The campaign module focuses on title, schedule, participation rules, rewards, and participation data. The analytics page shows campaign performance.
Raffles
Raffles turn points into anticipation.
Supported concepts:
- Point-based entry
- Prize configuration
- Stock or winner slots
- Drawing status
- Winner list
Do not overemphasize participant count during a campaign. In cold starts, users care more about “Do I have a chance?” than “How many people joined?”
Points shop
The shop gives points a destination.
Good redemption items include:
- Whitelist spots
- Discord roles
- Campaign eligibility
- Community perks
- Merchandise or services
Items need price, stock, and redemption instructions. Admins can process orders in the backend after redemption.
Channel ID targeting
Each submodule should usually have a channel ID:
- Points channel
- Task channel
- Campaign channel
- Raffle channel
- Shop channel
Benefits:
- Main chat stays clean
- Users know where to participate
- Bot can restrict interaction scope
- Analytics are cleaner
Start with lightweight growth
For the first version, enable points and tasks before raffles and the shop. Do not make the mechanism too heavy at launch.
