Shiba Inu lead figure, Shytoshi Kusama, recently issued a crucial warning to the SHIB community regarding potential scams within the SHIB meme coin ecosystem. Through platforms like Twitter, Kusama and SHIB’s marketing expert Lucie regularly caution users about the prevalence of scams in the cryptocurrency space.
Kusama specifically cautioned against falling victim to scams related to the KNINE token, which was launched by K9 Finance DAO, a partner of Shibarium, a Layer-2 solution. Notably, Kusama highlighted a closer integration between the SHIB team and the team at K9 Finance, with both himself and lead developer Kaal Dhairya appointed as official advisors to K9. The integration is linked to the launch of KNINE on Shibarium.
Teasing Large SHIB Burns
Lucie, a member of the SHIB team, teased significant SHIB burns on the horizon. She revealed that the team has allocated a substantial amount of 40 ETH from transaction fees for burning SHIB, equivalent to over $3,390 or 4,690,279,616 Shiba Inu meme coins. Since November, the team has initiated burns, destroying billions of SHIB by transferring them to unspendable wallets.

In response to community queries about the pace of burns, Lucie referred to a message from the elusive SHIB founder Ryoshi, who vanished from social media in 2022. Subsequently, Ryoshi suggested that those dissatisfied with the burn rate should take matters into their own hands by burning SHIB themselves. Consequently, the SHIB community has responded, with over 48 million SHIB transferred out of circulation within the last 24 hours, including a single burn of 42,466,919 SHIB.
Addressing Community Concerns
Lucie recently addressed concerns within the SHIB community about the perceived lack of action from the SHIB team to increase burns. She emphasized the ongoing efforts and hinted at future announcements regarding burn initiatives. Despite not specifying a date for the next burn, Lucie urged the SHIB army to stay vigilant for updates.

Meanwhile, Lucie’s updates on SHIB burns signal proactive measures by the SHIB team to manage token supply. The community’s response, as reflected in increased burn activity, demonstrates a collective effort to support the project’s goals.
