What is Discord Whitelist?

What is Discord Whitelist?

How it works

A whitelist is the output of whatever selection process you ran: a raffle draw, a quest completion threshold, a tenure role, or manual nomination. The bot's contribution is producing an auditable list with the criterion attached, so that when someone asks why they are not on it there is an answer other than a judgement call. Verified wallet addresses need collecting before the list is final, not after.

When to use it

Use a whitelist when access is genuinely scarce and you want allocation to reflect contribution rather than reaction speed or bot latency.

Worked example

Whitelist demand almost always exceeds supply, so the allocation method is the whole design. Earned entries with a published cost, 250 points and a 3-entry cap, beat first-come reactions because they reward the members who were present for weeks rather than the ones with notifications on. Publish entry totals before drawing.

Common mistakes

• Announcing the list before verifying that every entry has a usable address.
• Mixing selection methods without saying so, which makes the result look arbitrary.
• Leaving the criteria vague until after the draw, guaranteeing an argument.
