The messaging platform Discord is reportedly preparing to file for an initial public offering under confidential submission rules. This development has caught attention across the crypto community, particularly among those who rely on Discord for decentralized project collaboration, DAO governance discussions, and Web3 ecosystem coordination.



Discord has become a cornerstone infrastructure for the entire cryptocurrency sector—from DeFi protocols to NFT communities to trading groups on major exchanges. An IPO would represent a significant milestone for a platform that has grown deeply intertwined with the digital asset landscape.

The confidential filing approach, commonly used by tech companies to keep IPO preparations private until the last moment, suggests Discord is moving cautiously through the process. This timing raises questions within the crypto community about how public market entry might affect the platform's role in Web3, user privacy practices, and the broader dynamics between traditional finance and decentralized networks.

According to my analysis, if this IPO of Discord is really happening, major players in the Web3 community should start considering migration... Wait, what big move is confidential submission trying to hold back? Traditional finance is coming in to disrupt, privacy will definitely be compromised, maybe TG will become popular? They might just sell our DAO discussion room to Wall Street... This move by Discord feels like a gamble to serve both sides, but I bet five bucks it will backfire. After going public, will Discord still be our Discord? How on-chain data will be handled is the real key.

Discord is going public, this is getting interesting. Our Web3 headquarters is heading to Wall Street.

Will Discord go public and be subject to censorship? I feel a bit uneasy...

If Discord goes public, will we still be able to chat properly in the future? I have a feeling it will be heavily censored.
