A partnership between the Shiba Inu development team and K9 Finance has launched a new incentive program. This initiative aims to increase user participation in Shibarium’s liquid staking platform.
Timed for the holiday season, the program has been designed to provide financial rewards to first-time users. It reflects the team’s ongoing commitment to expanding the Shibarium ecosystem.
Details of the Shiba Inu Reward Program Announced
Lucie, Shiba Inu’s marketing lead, shared information about the program on X. It was revealed that first-time users of Shibarium’s liquid staking feature can earn rewards of up to $500.
These rewards are available only to individuals who have yet to use the platform previously. The team and K9 Finance will provide further updates on the initiative in the coming weeks.

Liquid Staking’s Role in Shibarium’s Success
Liquid staking has significantly supported the growth of Shibarium, an Ethereum-based sidechain. This feature enables users to stake Bone ShibaSwap tokens to earn rewards while unlocking kBONE, a liquid form of the staked tokens.
The liquid staking feature allows users to conduct additional transactions within the network. This added flexibility has enhanced Shibarium’s utility and engagement.
Since introducing the Bonecrusher liquid staking function, Shibarium’s activity has increased. Initially, the total value locked (TVL) reached $3.6 million and peaked at over $7 million by late September. Despite approximately $4.63 million adjustments, liquid staking remains a key driver of ecosystem engagement.
Strategic Focus on Ecosystem Growth
The reward initiative aligns with the team’s broader goal of expanding the Shibarium ecosystem. Through collaboration with K9 Finance, the team aims to showcase the advantages of liquid staking to attract more users.
Lucie emphasized the importance of financial incentives in boosting adoption and retaining users during increased blockchain activity. The strategy highlights liquid staking as a cornerstone of Shibarium’s growth and its role in fostering an active blockchain community.
As additional program details are shared, the initiative is expected to solidify Shibarium’s position within decentralized finance (DeFi). With its focus on innovation and user engagement, Shiba Inu’s team continues to enhance the network’s capabilities and expand its reach in the blockchain ecosystem.
