# Introduction to WardForge

> The Discord security bot that protects your community in 30 seconds — no expertise required.

# WardForge — Zero-Config Security for Discord

<img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/return/images/guardian-banner.png" alt="WardForge Banner" className="rounded-xl" />

## Why WardForge?

Most security bots require you to configure webhooks, manage API tokens, open firewall ports, and
deploy separate services. **WardForge was built on a different philosophy.**

> **One bot. One token. One command. Full protection.**

From the moment you type `/setup`, WardForge silently deploys every security layer your server needs —
without you touching a single configuration file.

## Core Principles

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Zero-Config" icon="wand-magic-sparkles">
    A single `/setup` command configures the entire stack: roles, channels, detection thresholds, and
    phishing databases.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Community Intelligence" icon="users">
    The `/report` command turns your own members into a detection network. A confirmed phishing link
    triggers an instant Global Ban across every server using WardForge.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Self-Healing" icon="rotate">
    AES-256 encrypted snapshots let WardForge rebuild deleted channels in seconds — even if a
    compromised admin triggers the damage.
  </Card>

## Architecture at a Glance

WardForge runs as a **single process** connected to Discord via WebSocket. There are no open ports,
no external webhooks to configure, and no companion services to maintain.

```
Discord Gateway (WSS)
        │
   WardForge
   ├── Anti-Raid Engine      ← Multi-window join analysis + TrustScore
   ├── Anti-Phishing Layer   ← VirusTotal · Google Safe Browsing · PhishTank
   ├── Community Reports     ← /report → Global Ban pipeline
   ├── Backup & Restore      ← AES-256 snapshots + selective restore
   └── Quarantine System     ← Automatic isolation of accounts < 24 h
```

<Note>
  The legacy "Honeypot API" double-bot architecture has been fully removed. WardForge no longer
  requires `HONEYPOT_SECRET`, open ports, or a second bot token.
