Decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols are moving away from public Discord servers due to increased scammer activity. Morpho and DefiLlama have shifted to more secure support channels. Concerns over phishing and security breaches drove the change, with users being targeted for scams. The move aims to protect users and ensure safe communication.

Many DeFi builders and data providers have criticized Discord for being unsecure and prone to phishing attacks. Morpho’s co-founder mentioned users being phished despite heavy monitoring. Tools like Intercom are being tested for better support management. DefiLlama also shifted to live support chat and email tickets to protect users from scammers on Discord.

Community leaders and industry members support the exit from Discord, citing the platform’s vulnerability to scammers. They advocate for clearer documentation and more reliable support systems. Some argue that leaving Discord could harm open collaboration, while others believe well-moderated servers can still thrive. The debate continues on the platform’s role in the DeFi community.
