Discord's new currency pays users to interact with ads
Briefly

Discord is beta testing a new in-app currency known as "Discord Orbs," which can be earned through completing promotional Quests. These Quests encourage user interaction with ads, such as watching videos or streaming games. Users can spend Orbs in the Discord Shop on regular items and exclusives like special badges or trial passes for Discord Nitro. Rolling out to a select user base, this initiative offers an alternative reward system for brands that previously provided their own incentives.
Discord Orbs are a new in-app currency that users earn by completing promotional Quests, allowing them to redeem for both regular items and exclusives.
Discord's initiative rewards users for engaging with ads and streamers, transitioning from publisher-provided rewards to a unified system of digital currency.
