Yesterday afternoon, the first meme token on the Bitcoin ecosystem protocol RGB, pepe-RGB, released its whitelist. However, shortly afterward, multiple users reported errors in the whitelist data, sparking further discussion around pepe-RGB within the crypto community.
Whitelist "Data Source Error" Sparks Community Controversy
On the afternoon of the 15th, @PepeRgb20 announced the pepe-RGB whitelist on social media, stating, "The starting point for this whitelist comes from the Zealy quest and has been modified by the pepe-rgb team. Measures have been taken to prevent bot operations, and all bad data will be removed." In other words, users could use their Zealy platform usernames to open a Google document and quickly check whether they made the whitelist.
However, some community members pointed out that the whitelist was initially editable, calling this an avoidable "basic mistake." Others noted that collecting data based on Zealy usernames rather than wallet addresses was fundamentally unreasonable. Additionally, several members highlighted that the list included only English names, effectively filtering out Chinese names.
Subsequently, @DaPangDunCrypto, a loyal supporter of the RGB protocol and influential community KOL, stated he had communicated with the team: "He likely mistook Zealy platform usernames for BitMask IDs when exporting the data—since BitMask IDs don't support special characters, this resulted in the current list. I've already pointed out the issue, and they will rework it."
Later, @PepeRgb20 posted again, acknowledging: "Data error. I'm very sorry for the previously published data—the source was completely wrong. We are now addressing this."
At around 2 a.m. today, a new whitelist was published. According to BlockBeats' observation, users still reported issues such as mismatched names and IDs. Crypto community KOL @xiaowuDD666 commented: "Is this what you call professional handling? You're ignoring such obvious bot activity? One or two might be acceptable, but 46? You’re not cleaning those up?"

With both whitelist releases plagued by various issues, pepe-RGB has drawn significant criticism from the community.
What Is the Hyped-Up RGB Protocol?
pepe-RGB is a token issued on the RGB protocol, which many community KOLs currently regard as one of the most promising protocols in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
The RGB protocol is a scalable and confidential smart contract system for Bitcoin and the Lightning Network, developed by the Swiss nonprofit LNP/BP Standards Association. It aims to bring the complex programmability and flexibility of platforms like Ethereum into the Bitcoin ecosystem. Based on concepts of private and shared ownership, RGB is a Turing-complete, trustless form of distributed computing—an off-chain, decentralized protocol that does not require native tokens.
"In the RGB protocol, transaction validation and data storage are handled by clients (such as wallet software) rather than on the blockchain. This keeps transaction data off-chain and private, enhancing user privacy. Client-side validation also reduces on-chain data storage demands, improving network scalability—a key difference between RGB and BRC20. Since transaction data is processed off-chain, RGB can theoretically alleviate current network congestion and high fee issues."
Previously, Tether CTO Paolo Ardoino publicly endorsed the RGB protocol on two occasions. On August 18, Paolo Ardoino stated he was actively contributing to RGB project development alongside Bitfinex and Fulgur Ventures, expressing firm belief that once USDT launches on RGB, the world will witness a powerful and scalable version of USDT on Bitcoin.
On October 19, Paolo Ardoino told The Block that the RGB protocol represents the "best opportunity" for issuing stablecoins on Bitcoin. He added that many prominent figures in the Bitcoin community share this view: "We believe RGB integrates all the right elements to become the legitimate successor to Omni."
