PHASE 01

Invite the Bot

Click the invite link above and authorize CrypGuard for your server

STEP 1

Select Your Server

After clicking the invite link, Discord opens the authorization page. Use the dropdown menu to select which server you want to protect. If you manage multiple servers, make sure you pick the right one.

You need Manage Server permission to add bots. If you don't see your server in the dropdown, ask the server owner to grant you this permission.

PHASE 02

Welcome Message

CrypGuard sends you a private DM with setup instructions

STEP 4

STEP 5

Your Personal Setup Guide

The DM contains everything you need: your beta tester number, what you get during the free beta period, what happens after beta ends, and the exact steps to create your secure alert channel. Follow along below — we'll walk through each step.

PHASE 03

Create Your Alert Channel

Set up the private channel where CrypGuard sends threat intelligence

STEP 6

Create a Private Text Channel

Right-click "Text Channels" in your server sidebar and click "Create Channel". This will be your security command center — where all threat alerts are delivered.

  • Select Text as channel type
  • Name it exactly: crypguard-alerts
  • Toggle Private Channel to ON
  • Click Next
The channel must be private. Threat reports contain scammer identities, confidence scores, and forensic data — this is for your staff's eyes only.

Channel type: Text, name: crypguard-alerts, Private Channel: ON
STEP 7

Grant Bot Access

After clicking Next, Discord asks who can access this private channel. You need to add both of these:

  • CrypGuard Genesis Security Bot — found under Roles
  • CrypGuard Genesis [APP] — found under Members
Why both? Your private channel blocks everyone by default. The Role gives normal access. The [APP] is a backup that guarantees CrypGuard can always deliver alerts. We only access this one channel — nothing else.

Both Role and [APP] must be selected for reliable alert delivery
OPTIONAL

Add a Channel Description

For quick reference, right-click your new #crypguard-alerts channel, click Edit Channel, and paste a description into the Channel Topic. This gives your staff a command cheat sheet right at the top of the channel.

PHASE 04

See It In Action

Test CrypGuard with a simulated scam message and watch the detection system respond

STEP 8

Send a Test Scam Message

Go to any public channel in your server and post this test message:

🎁 FREE CRYPTO! Click here: discord-gift.ru

Within seconds, CrypGuard intercepts the threat. The public channel shows a real-time alert exposing the scam attempt — the scammer's identity, the threat type, and a direct message to the suspect.

STEP 9

Reveal Full Analysis

Click the "Reveal Full Analysis" button on the public alert. CrypGuard shows an educational breakdown visible to everyone in the channel: what was detected, why it's dangerous, and universal protection rules the entire community can learn from.

This is the Yieldness Doctrine in action. We don't hide the scam — we put a spotlight on it. The scammer becomes a case study. The entire community learns. The detailed admin report with forensic data goes to your private #crypguard-alerts channel — staff eyes only.

Check Your Admin Report

Now go to your private #crypguard-alerts channel. A detailed Critical Security Alert is waiting for you with full forensic intelligence: scammer identity, user ID, account age, confidence score, threat level, which shields flagged the activity, and a direct message link.

INFO

Staff Protection

How CrypGuard handles admin and moderator messages.

AUTOMATIC

Staff Messages Are Never Scanned

CrypGuard automatically skips messages from anyone with server management permissions. This prevents false positives when your team discusses scams, writes rules, or handles reports.

Permissions that bypass scanning:
  • Administrator — Full server control
  • Manage Server — Server settings access
  • Manage Roles — Role management
  • Kick Members — Moderation permission
  • Ban Members — Moderation permission
Important: If a staff account is compromised, CrypGuard will not flag their messages. We strongly recommend enabling 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) for all staff accounts.

No configuration needed — this works automatically the moment CrypGuard is added. Any member with at least one of the above permissions is trusted by default.
