According to U.Today, Shytoshi Kusama, the enigmatic leader of the Shiba Inu (SHIB) project, has issued a warning about potential threats to the project's decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). Kusama, who operates under a pseudonym, stated that he had a revelation in a dream about a group he referred to as "shadowcats" planning to take over the DAO. This DAO is intended to transition governance functions of the SHIB ecosystem to all SHIB holders, regardless of their stake size.
Kusama assured the community that any plans against SHIB and its DAO would not succeed, as the team is prepared to counteract any such threats efficiently. He emphasized that strategies are already in place to address these challenges. This statement follows a previous announcement by SHIB marketing lead Lucie, who highlighted the DAO's role in giving SHIB users more control over decisions impacting the ecosystem.
In related developments, Kaal Dhairya, a leading developer in the SHIB project, has shared his thoughts on enhancing the Shiba Inu ecosystem, particularly concerning token burns. Dhairya mentioned having "big ideas" for the ecosystem but did not disclose specific details. He stressed that burning and reducing the supply of SHIB is a collective effort and not solely the responsibility of the SHIB team.
Dhairya's comments came after a heated discussion on the X platform, where he addressed complaints about the SHIB team's role in token burns. He pointed out that the utility of Shibarium, the SHIB blockchain platform, directly influences the rate of token burns. Additionally, he announced that the automated SHIB burn mechanism would undergo maintenance to introduce a more efficient and cost-effective burn process.
Over the past month, the SHIB community and developers have successfully burned a record 3,162,301,655 SHIB tokens in 167 transactions, as reported by the Shibburn tracker. This effort reflects the ongoing commitment to reducing the circulating supply of SHIB and enhancing the project's overall utility.
