[c402.markets: Misuse of protocol to create PING causes downtime, platform launch delayed by several days] Odaily Planet Daily reports that c402.markets has issued an apology letter stating that while creating the token PING on Base, they mistakenly used the x402 protocol to open minting, allowing participation for just $1. This unexpectedly triggered a community frenzy, leading to server overload and the tokens being quickly sold out. The team explained that PING's sudden popularity was not an anticipated outcome, but the widespread attention has unexpectedly made x402 a hot topic. Due to the need to repair the system and optimize the minting process, the official launch of c402.markets will be delayed by several days. The letter also noted that when the first round of minting begins, PING holders will be able to "observe with ease," while developers will need to respond with full effort. The official recommendation is for users to follow the c402.markets website for further updates.
