This comes as the Shiba Inu community takes up the charge of defending its favorite project in the wake of events that unfolded in the past week.
As reported over the weekend, the Shiba Inu community received a new designation as the new "Defense Breed."
The earlier "Breed" team was tasked with combating FUD and settling deals with various firms on behalf of Shiba Inu. A scroll through Twitter feeds indicates chatter about Shiba Inu, Shibarium and other elements of the ecosystem.
The number of Shiba Inu holders is also growing and is currently 1,326,206, according to WhaleStats data.
