Judging by a pre-release screenshot shared by Discord’s CEO Jason Citron, the instant messaging platform might soon support MetaMask and WalletConnect integrations.

The CEO’s announcement about the upcoming Ethereum blockchain integration came as a response to a tweet from the founder of Not Boring, Packy McCormick, who shared an article that read:

> Imagine a human website. Imagine a place where dank memes flow like honey. Imagine a place where potatoes thrive. Imagine a place where humans and bots live in harmony. Imagine, in other words, a place like Discord.

While the screenshot of the pre-released Discord application shared by Citron aims to promote [crypto](https://btcpeers.com/what-is-the-best-cryptocurrency-to-invest-in/) adoption, the gaming community opposed the move by emphasizing the challenges faced by the ecosystem in the form of carbon emissions, money laundering, and vulnerabilities within the non-fungible token (NFT) market.

In addition, the announcement stirred numerous users to terminate their subscriptions with Discord Nitro, which is the platform’s premium service offering, which costs $4.99 per month and $49.99 for a year.

A Discord user Olivia expressed her opinion via Twitter

> Implementing NFTs in discord would result in bad PR, and a drop in Nitro subscriptions as a large amount of people cancel. NFTs cause environmental damage, and are mainly used for tax evasion&money laundering. The entire thing is a ponzi scheme. Do not connect discord to this.

On the flip side, some users from the gaming community are quite optimistic, claiming that the move is a step in the right direction. Another user named Bryce NFT responded to Olivia saying: 

> You really just called the NFT space a ponzi scheme without valid evidence. Don’t comment on anything when you have no idea about the space.
