According to U.Today, the Shiba Inu community has been alerted to a growing threat of impersonators posing as Shytoshi Kusama, the lead developer of the Shiba Inu project. The warning was issued by Shibarmy Scam Alerts, a Shiba Inu-focused X account, which cautioned the community to be vigilant against individuals pretending to be Kusama on various platforms. These impersonators often create fake profiles and accounts to gain trust and request sensitive information or funds from unsuspecting community members. The rise in fraudulent activities has become more sophisticated as the popularity of projects like Shiba Inu has grown, making it critical for users to distinguish between legitimate and fraudulent identities. Scammers frequently mimic messaging styles and even utilize bots to increase their reach, posing a significant risk to the community. The alert underscores the importance of vigilance within the crypto community to avoid falling victim to scams and misinformation. In related news, Shiba Inu team member Lucie provided an important update on the Shibarium burn mechanism. Starting at block 6206570, the Shibarium network will implement a long-awaited update that introduces a burn mechanism directly linked to transaction costs. With this upgrade, 70% of all network-based transaction fees will be automatically converted to SHIB tokens and burned, removing them from circulation. This deflationary strategy aims to gradually lower the overall supply of SHIB, potentially boosting its value over time. The remaining 30% of the fees will go toward platform maintenance, development, and ecosystem growth activities. This change is seen as a significant step forward in improving the sustainability and long-term value of the SHIB community.
