Client Libraries

Rustalink is fully compatible with the Lavalink v4 protocol. Any client that supports this protocol—and the mandatory DAVE encryption—will work out of the box.

DAVE Protocol Compliance

Starting March 1st, 2026, Discord requires all voice clients to support the DAVE (End-to-End Encryption) protocol. Rustalink is fully compliant. Ensure your library version is up to date.
