Create Application

1. Go to the Developer Portal and create a new application.
2. Navigate to the Section Bot and confirm with "Yes, do it!"
3. Now copy your token and save it under a safe environment.

:::caution Token Security

Keep your token safe, because it is like a password that grants access to your bot, which then can be used for mass DMing, mass banning or any other kind of malicious activity.
