The trading launch of the Dogs token came on the sidelines of the arrest of Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov. Durov is also the founder of the social platform VK and first created DOGS’ mascot Spotty. The community has also joined in a # FREEDUROV campaign with the founder holding a DOGS frame as the face of the campaign.

Dogs airdrop claims are under process

Meanwhile, not all users have received the token airdrop as it has put pressure on the Ton chain. The project has said that TON and Telegram Wallet teams are in the process of fulfilling all on-chain claims. They also found that some accounts have been using bots to unfairly claim free airdrops. The DOGS project has confirmed that several of these accounts were removed, and their tokens were frozen on exchanges.

Meanwhile, Toncoin (TON) , the native token of The Open Network (TON) blockchain, has also lost at least 7% of value in 24 hours. CoinGecko data reveals that it has lost at least 20% on the weekly charts on the back of Durov’s arrest.
