Get More From Your Boosts With New Server Perks (opens in new tab)
Discord is expanding Server Boosts beyond linear level upgrades with two new perks that can be unlocked directly: Enhanced Role Styles and Server Tags. Each perk costs 3 Boosts and remains active while those Boosts are allocated, allowing servers to use extra community contributions for targeted customization without reaching a higher Boost Level. ## Directly Unlockable Server Perks - Servers can now spend Boosts either to: - Progress through existing Boost Levels and bundled benefits - Unlock specific perks independently - Enhanced Role Styles and Server Tags each require 3 Boosts, or 6 Boosts total for both. - No minimum server level is required. - Administrators can enable perks from the Server Boost tab above the channel list: - Check available Boosts - Select a perk - Click **Enable Perk** - Use **Configure** to customize it - Perks remain active as long as the required Boosts continue to be assigned. ## Enhanced Role Styles - Costs 3 Boosts. - Adds animated, gradient, holographic, and other vibrant styles to server roles. - Helps distinguish moderators, contributors, and other important roles. - Once unlocked, the styles can be applied to any number of roles. - Servers can use the feature selectively or apply colorful designs broadly. ## Server Tags - Costs 3 Boosts. - Lets members represent a server across Discord with a tag of up to four characters and a pixel-style icon. - Tags can appear: - Beside usernames in chats and member lists - On user profiles - People outside the server can see a member’s tag and view a small server profile. - If enabled by administrators, viewers may be able to apply to join the server directly through the tag. - Suggested tag styles include game-related abbreviations such as “FPS,” “RPG,” or “PVP,” as well as personality-driven labels like “CUTE” or “LOUD.” Discord’s new system gives servers more control over how they spend Boosts. Communities can retain their existing level-based benefits while using extra Boosts for distinctive role styling and broader server identity through tags.
