A longtime member of the Shiba Inu community and project advisor for Shiba Eternity, Mazrael, has issued a crucial reminder for the SHIB community in a recent X post.
Mazrael cautions that there are not any "new" "official" channels and accounts and adds that when there are, it will be communicated via the shib.io website.
This advisory comes at a time when impersonators and fraudulent accounts are rising to try to cash in on Shiba Inu's popularity. In this context, members of the Shiba Inu community are called upon to exercise caution when interacting with profiles claiming to represent the project, as the Shiba Inu ecosystem has not rolled out any new official communication channels or accounts.
An X user interacted with Mazrael's post and asked about LEASH v2. Mazrael responded, "ready and audited. Foundations first."
LEASH v2 is an upgraded, fixed-supply token contract for the Shiba Inu ecosystem, designed to replace the original LEASH, which is regarded as v1. It closes a hidden rebasing gap that previously allowed the token supply to change. LEASH v2 tokens are audited by Hexens and scheduled to roll out across structured phases.
Shiba Inu development continues
Shiba Inu marked its sixth anniversary at the start of the month, having launched on August 1, 2020, by its pseudonymous founder Ryoshi.
Shiba Inu's six-year journey has not been devoid of challenges and criticism; this year, 2026, has been relatively quiet for several tokens, including Shiba Inu, amid the ongoing bear market.
Mazrael points to activity behind the scenes by Shiba Inu developers in the relatively muted market. "Builders keep shipping" was the message from Mazrael in a recent X post, pointing to ongoing development activity in the SHIB ecosystem.
According to Mazrael, Shiba Inu developers have expanded 18 developer documentation pages covering ERC-4337 gasless transactions (Paymaster), Crypto Payments API, hosted on-chain data endpoints, and ShibaSwap SDK. He noted that these are the building blocks developers need to create consumer apps on Shibarium, making the move significant.
