Discord allows users with Nitro to boost a Discord Server, which can unlock various perks for the entire server.

Getting Boosts

You can purchase boosts in two ways:

  • If you subscribe to/are gifted Nitro, you get 2 free Boosts and a discount on separately purchased Boosts.
  • You can also pay for Boosts separately from Nitro.

If you have Nitro Classic, you won't get any free boosts but you will get the discount.

Boost levels

Depending on how many Boosts a server has, it unlocks new levels.

Level 1

Can be unlocked with 2 boosts, meaning that a single Nitro user could unlock it.

This level unlocks the following perks:

  • 50 additional Slots for both animated and normal Emotes (100 normal and 100 animated in total)
  • 128 Kbps Audio quality for voice chat (Compared to the normal 96 Kbps)
  • Option to set an animated Server icon
  • Option to set a custom background for the Invite screen
  • 720p 60fps Go Live Streaming

Level 2

Can be unlocked with 15 boosts.

This level unlocks the following perks:

  • 50 additional Slots for animated and normal emotes (150 normal and 150 animated in total)
  • 256 Kbps Audio quality for voice chat
  • Option to set a server banner (Visible at the top of the channel selection)
  • 50MB upload limit for all Members on the Discord
  • 1080p 60fps Go Live Streaming

Level 3

Can be unlocked with 30 boosts and is the highest level a Discord can reach.

This level unlocks the following perks:

  • 100 additional Slots for animated and normal emotes (250 normal and 250 animated in total)
  • 384 Kbps Audio quality for voice chat
  • Option to set a vanity URL (discord.gg/yourVanityUrl)
  • 100MB upload limit for all Members on the Discord

Your benefits

By boosting a Server will you receive some benefits.

  • A pink ruby will be displayed right next to your name in the member list of the Server(s) you boost.
  • You'll get a dedicated booster role for the Server(s) you're boosting.
    • This role cannot be deleted from the Server, but the name, color, position and permissions can be altered.
  • Your profile will display a Badge if you boost at least one server for a certain period.

Badges Server boosting

Depending on how long you've been boosting at least one server, your profile will have one of the following badges: boosting_progress.png

Note that if you don't renew you Boost/Nitro subscription, your badge will be reset.

Losing boosts

The server will lose boosts when a server booster either moves their Boost(s) to another server, or their Nitro/Boost subscription expires. Servers have a "grace period" of 3 days before they actually lose the level in case the booster forgot to renew their subscription or similar.
