During routine analysis of our 10-day growth metrics, we noticed something odd. Two users — let’s call them User X and User Y — had impossibly high claim-to-game ratios.
While legitimate players claim rewards once per game, these accounts were claiming 4–10x more rewards than games played.
Deep diving into the data revealed:
10 exploiter accounts systematically abusing the claim system
603 fraudulent claims attempting to steal 1,461,715 $PIE tokens
The exploit peaked on August 18 with one user attempting to claim 1.2M $PIE in a single day
Exploiters represented only 1.3% of players but attempted to steal 81.7% of all rewards
Within hours of discovery, we:
Deployed a fix to prevent multiple claims per game

Within hours of discovery, we:
Deployed a fix to prevent multiple claims per game
Created a forensic backup of all suspicious transactions
Marked 603 fraudulent claims as “failed” before payout
Successfully blocked 1,461,715 $PIE from being distributed fraudulently
92.6% of attempted theft prevented — only 104k $PIE was paid out before detection
Zero new exploitation attempts since fix deployment
772 honest players’ rewards preserved
Full audit trail maintained for transparency
And most importantly — nothing of real-world value was lost, as $PIE currently has no external monetary value.
This incident, while stressful, proved our system’s resilience. Our safeguards caught the vast majority of fraudulent activity before tokens were distributed.
We’ve since implemented additional validation layers and real-time anomaly detection.
We also want to thank User X, User Y, and the other testers who (intentionally or not) helped us uncover this exploit early. They’ve contributed to making Perfect Pie stronger and more secure.
When $PIE does gain value in the future, we’ll make sure our current community is made whole by allowing players to claim new tokens based on their existing scores. This way, no one loses the progress they’ve earned.
Most importantly: Perfect Pie’s economy remains strong, with 326,669 $PIE legitimately distributed to real players who earned it by drawing perfect circles.
The game continues stronger than ever — try your hand at drawing the perfect circle at perfectpie.xyz
