Community members supporting a Broccoli memecoin on BNB Chain are upset over the unfair denial of victory in the network’s $200,000 liquidity support program. Two memecoins inspired by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao’s dog Broccoli clashed, with the 714 token declared the winner, sparking controversy over the decision.

An investigation by the F2B Broccoli community questions the legitimacy of the 714 Broccoli token’s victory in the BNB Chain meme liquidity competition. The official leaderboard showed both tokens with the same score, but the tie-breaker favored the 714 token due to higher trading volume, raising doubts among supporters of the F2B token.

BNB Chain defended the score, stating that the community’s calculations used outdated metrics, leading to confusion. The network clarified the scoring formula used, emphasizing the removal of deprecated dimensions to prevent future miscalculations. Despite the explanation, concerns about transparency and rule changes mid-competition persist among the F2B community members.
