NAUT stores a Discord invite on 599 of its 10,592 live companies, 5.7% of them, and 590 of those 599 carry an X handle on the same row, read from NAUT's own database on 11 November 2026. To confirm a crypto project Discord community before a BD message, do 3 things in order: read the invite off the project's NAUT page, check the row you are reading is the project you mean, then open the link and find the person on that page you are going to write to.
Data note. Every count here was read from NAUT's own database on 11 November 2026, read-only, and covers companies whose row is live and unarchived. A company counts as having a Discord invite when its stored discordUrl holds a value, which is 599 rows; the field says nothing about whether the server behind it is still open, which is the whole reason for step 3. 4 claims went to a source checker on 11 November 2026. 1 of them, Winchman Li's title at Renaiss, came back confirmed against 2 posts from the Renaiss account on X. On the other 3 the checker could not locate its quote on the page it read, so none of those 3 details appear here, including any member count or server name. NAUT Research wrote it, and the figures are NAUT's record of these companies rather than a census of every crypto Discord that exists.
How many crypto project Discord community links does NAUT hold?
599 of the 10,592 live companies, so 1 in 18. The table below splits those 599 by the company type stored on the row, ranked by the number of companies, largest first. The 4 types account for all 599.
| Company type | Companies | Share of 599 |
|---|---|---|
| Project | 494 | 82.5% |
| Investor | 55 | 9.2% |
| Launchpad | 29 | 4.8% |
| Platform | 21 | 3.5% |
A Discord invite is close to useless on its own, because you still need a human to write to. On that, the field travels with company: 590 of the 599 rows also hold an X handle, and 9 hold a Discord invite with no X handle at all.
Crypto project Discord community: the 3 steps
This is how to find a crypto project Discord you can send a message into. Each step reads 1 thing, answers 1 question, and stops 1 mistake.
- 1. Pull the stored invite. Read the project's
discordUrloff its NAUT page, 1 of the 599 companies that has one. Stops a web search that lands you in a fan server or a scam clone. - 2. Check the row is the project. Read the company name and type on the row you opened, on that same NAUT page. Stops you messaging the parent org's community when you want the sub-brand, or the reverse.
- 3. Open the link, then pick a name. Open the live invite, then read the team NAUT names on that company. Stops a note into a dead server, or a note with nobody's name on it.
- Pull the inviteRead discordUrl off the project's NAUT page. 599 of NAUT's 10,592 live companies have one.
- Check the row5 invite URLs on NAUT sit on 2 company rows each, so confirm the row is the project you mean.
- Open the linkNAUT stores the invite, not the state of the server, so the link is the only thing that proves the door is open.
- Pick the nameOn Renaiss that is Winchman Li, Founder and CEO. 590 of the 599 rows also carry an X handle.
Why does a crypto discord server need checking at all?
Because 1 invite can sit on 2 companies. NAUT's data shows 5 invite URLs stored on 2 company rows each, 10 rows in total out of the 599. In 4 of those 5 pairs the 2 rows are a parent organisation and its own sub-brand on NAUT's record, which genuinely share 1 community, so either row sends you to the right place. The 5th pair is a stored-value defect NAUT has flagged for correction, so neither of its 2 companies is named or counted anywhere in this article.
That is 1 pair in 599 rows, which is small, and it is also exactly the kind of error you cannot see from the link text. 2 more things the stored field cannot tell you:
- Whether the invite still opens. A Discord invite can be revoked or time out, and NAUT stores the URL rather than the server's current state.
- Whether the community is where the team actually answers. Renaiss carries a Discord invite and a separate Telegram community link,
https://t.me/renaissnetwork, on the same NAUT row.
What this tells a BD team
- Work the 494 project rows first. They are 82.5% of the 599 and they are the companies a vendor, a market maker or an exchange is usually selling to.
- Treat the invite as a route into the project, never as the message itself. A cold post in a public server is read by everyone in it, so the invite is for research and the named person is for the ask.
- Give crypto BD outreach a second channel. 590 of the 599 rows hold a Discord invite and an X handle, so you can confirm from a public profile that the project is still shipping before you spend an opener on it.
- Take the name off the NAUT page, not the member list. On Renaiss, NAUT names 5 people, and the decision on a partnership sits with Winchman Li, Founder and CEO, confirmed on 11 November 2026 against 2 posts from the Renaiss account on X.
Anyone listed can ask NAUT to remove their page at https://naut.so/legal/data-deletion.
What this tells a founder raising
Your own row is what a fund's analyst reads before a call. 599 live companies on NAUT carry a Discord invite and 590 of those carry an X handle, so an empty community field on your row is a gap that 5.7% of the directory does not have. The same page carries your team, which is what turns an inbound look into a named conversation.
- Check the invite on your own NAUT page opens, and that it points at your server and not a partner's.
- Add the channel where you actually answer. Crypto community channels split across Discord and Telegram, and a stale link reads as a stale project.
- Make sure 1 name on the page owns partnerships, so an inbound note reaches a person rather than a shared inbox.
