Nova isn't only a blockchain assistant — it's a community copilot. Beyond answering on-chain questions, Nova helps you protect, organize, manage, and grow any Discord server or Telegram group it's in.
In short
Overview of Nova's community features for Discord and Telegram (Guardian, Harbor, Roles, Language Moderation, Pulse, Games, GM, Snacks, Relay, Warp, Flares), with a guide to choosing and turning them on by asking Nova.
One rule for the whole suite: every feature is enabled per-community just by talking to Nova, and setup is admin/moderator-only and group-only — never in a DM. Guardian, Harbor, Community Roles, Pulse, Games, GM, Snacks, Relay and Flares apply to the whole server/group; Warp links one channel with your Telegram group; Language Moderation is per-channel by design.
The community features
- 🛡️ Nova Guardian — protect — A passive anti-scam shield that screens every message for scam intent, social engineering, and malicious links — in any language — with a flag → delete → mute action ladder. Guide
- ⚓ Nova Harbor — welcome — Automatically welcomes every new member with your template or an AI-personal message, link buttons, burst batching and a raid guard. PRO adds first-message welcomes, a DM onboarding series, auto-roles & role buttons, goodbyes and member milestones. Guide
- 🪙 Community Roles — reward holders and regulars — Discord roles members earn: by what their verified wallet holds (Stacks, EVM chains, Solana or Bitcoin), by the level they reached chatting, or both. Community PRO adds roles for long-time active members and for how long a token has been held. A level role arrives the moment the level is reached; Nova re-checks holdings on a schedule and adds or removes roles as they change. Discord only. Guide
- 🌐 Nova Language Moderation — organize — Per-channel allowed-language rules — #general is English-only, #español speaks Spanish. Wrong-language posts get a friendly redirect to the right channel, optional auto-delete, and mod alerts. Guide
- 📊 Nova Pulse — manage — A proactive moderator copilot that rescues unanswered questions, posts a daily community brief to a private mod channel, and can auto-answer FAQs (Concierge) from Nova Knowledge — the curated knowledge base you fill by pasting facts or importing websites, repos, and contract source. Guide
- 🎮 Nova Community Games — engage — An engagement suite: XP & levels for chatting, leaderboards + an automatic weekly leaderboard post, mod-run games & trivia you start on demand (PRO), a weekly recap (PRO), and a fair random winner picker / giveaways. Guide
- ☀️ Community GM — greet — When a member says "gm", Nova greets the room with a good-morning brief: fresh ecosystem news + your community's own RSS/page/on-chain sources. PRO adds custom steering instructions and a fresh web search per GM. Guide
- 🍪 Daily Snacks — spark — One bite-sized, interesting insight/fact on a schedule, grounded in your community's own conversations and ecosystem. PRO adds daily cadence + custom instructions to steer topics and tone. Guide
- 📡 Nova Relay — catch up — A recap of your community's public chat, Discord and Telegram merged into one: one pinned live message Nova keeps up to date every few hours, or a new post each day. A few short lines on what the team announced and what people talked about, in the voice and look you choose. Community PRO. Guide
- 🌌 Nova Warp — connect — Your Discord channel and Telegram group as one live chat: what a member posts on one side appears on the other within seconds, under their name, with replies, edits and deletions following. Nobody is pinged across. Community PRO. Guide
- ✨ Nova Quasar: Flares — grow — Automatic posts that fire when something real happens: a member milestone, a level milestone, a new leaderboard leader, your anniversary. Turn a rule on once and Nova publishes in your own channel. PRO adds token holder and governance triggers and your persona voice. Guide
Community PRO perks
Three more things come with a Community PRO plan — not features you enable, but upgrades to how Nova itself behaves in your community:
- ✨ Nova Soul — your identity — Rename Nova and give it a custom persona — name, tone, style, full character description — that it wears only in your community. PRO communities can even run Nova under their own Discord app / Telegram bot (your bot name & avatar on every reply and report). Styling only: it can never change Nova's safety rules or capabilities. Guide
- 💬 Nova Chat — your budget — A pooled message allowance the community pays for, so members chat with Nova without spending their own AI allowance. Automatic — nothing to enable. Guide
- 📝 Ops AI drafts — your copywriter — Ask Nova to write your announcements, community updates, and tweets right in your server/group — draft, iterate through edit rounds, then copy and post the final version. Guide
Discord and Telegram: shared or separate?
One community on Nova can hold a Discord server and a Telegram group. The plan covers both. You turn each feature on in each place, but its settings are shared by default: change Guardian's mode or allowlist in your Discord server and your Telegram group gets the same change. When you turn a feature on in the second place, it starts with the settings of the first.
What stays separate is what only makes sense in one place: channels, topics and roles, options that exist on one platform only, and a few choices that depend on the size of each chat.
| Feature | Shared between Discord and Telegram | Separate in each place |
|---|---|---|
| Nova Soul | The custom name and persona (always one for the community) | — |
| Guardian | Mode, auto-moderation, auto-delete, auto-mute, mute duration, thresholds, allowlist | Mod channel, known admins |
| Language Moderation | Warn, auto-delete, alert mods, allowlist, languages allowed everywhere | Per-channel rules, mod channel |
| Harbor | Welcome, goodbye and ban messages, link buttons, AI welcomes, DM onboarding, timing and raid guard | Welcome channel or topic, Discord card and roles, Telegram join notices, when to welcome, member milestones |
| Pulse | Unanswered alerts, daily brief and its time, newcomer welcomes, Concierge | Mod channel |
| Knowledge | Concierge answers from the entries added in both places | Each entry stays listed where it was added |
| Ascend and Play | XP on/off, level-up shoutouts, weekly leaderboard day, games, giveaways, recap time | Channels; members' XP and levels are counted apart |
| GM, Snacks | Custom instructions, web search, time and cadence | — |
| Flares | Daily limit, AI line, footer note | Channel or topic, card color, rules |
| Relay | Mode, rhythm, look, language, time, pinning | Places, channels left out, member role, Discord format, Telegram collapsing |
| Warp | Staff messages stay on their side | The linked channel or topic, member role, who manages it |
The AI usage meter, AI Boosts and your team are always one for the whole community. Daily and monthly counts (scans, answers, welcomes...) are still counted in each place. Community Roles are Discord only.
Want them separate? On the Community page, open the feature's card and turn off Same settings on Discord and Telegram (for Knowledge: One knowledge base for Discord and Telegram). Nothing is deleted: each place keeps its current values and changes stop being copied. Turning it back on asks which place's settings both should use. If the two places don't match (for example, they were set up before sharing existed), the card shows what differs and lets you pick a side; until then, each change you save is copied.
When you change a shared setting in chat, Nova tells you it was also applied to the other place. A value the other place can't take is left as it was and Nova says why: for example, auto-moderation isn't copied into a Discord server until it has a moderator role to report to.

Set any of them up — just talk to Nova
In your server/group, as an admin/mod, tag Nova (@NovaBot on Discord, @NovaAITheBot on Telegram) or reply to it, and say what you want. "@Nova" in the examples stands for that tag:
"@Nova turn on Guardian for this server" · "@Nova enable Pulse" · "@Nova turn on community games"
Nova enables the feature and confirms. See each guide for the full set of things you can ask — or just ask Nova "what can you do for my community?". Nova also serves up engagement stats — see ZADAO Stats.
Prefer a control panel? Every feature is also manageable from the web — the Community Settings dashboard at nova.zeroauthoritydao.com/community shows each one as a card with every setting editable and live usage against your plan's budgets. Chat and web edit the same config.
