- MetaMask flags the claim website as potentially dangerous amid DDOS attacks and high traffic.

Pudgy Penguins’ highly anticipated PENGU token launch encountered significant technical hurdles on Sunday, as users reported missing token allocations and security warnings from major crypto wallets. The distribution of 88 billion PENGU tokens faces challenges amid high claim volumes and blockchain limitations.
Technical Disruptions Mar Launch
The claiming process experienced multiple issues:
- MetaMask issued security warnings about the claim website
- Over 4.7 million website hits triggered DDOS protection
- 100,000 claims processed within hours of launch
Crypto influencer Nick O’Neill documented discrepancies in his allocation, receiving only 7,940 tokens instead of his expected 573,092 tokens. Clusters’ founder explained that Solana’s transaction limits necessitated breaking larger claims into multiple transactions.
Market Impact
The launch complications triggered significant market movements:
- Floor price of Pudgy Penguins NFTs declined by more than 50%
- Early investors began liquidating positions, with one wallet selling 176 million tokens worth $9 million
- PENGU token price dropped from $0.06845 to $0.03116
Project representatives attempted to calm concerns, with creative chief ‘chefgoyardi’ announcing that claim discrepancies and wallet connectivity issues were “nearly patched.” Users have an 88-day window to complete their claims, providing flexibility amid the technical difficulties.
A wallet address linked to early investors executed significant sell orders, contributing to price volatility during the initial trading hours.
