Discord Bot Guide

Introduction

The Discord Bot includes some features usable in the SHIELD Discord server, our main chat server. One of these is the ability to use it as a standard SHIELD wallet.

Getting Started

Setting up the wallet

1. Firstly, join the SHIELD Discord.

2. Go to the #bot-commands channel on the left-hand side.

3. Type !deposit to generate your deposit address.

You can now accept tips, rains, and also receive funds directly into your deposit address.
