Shiba Inu Lead Addresses Controversy Over SHIB’s BONE and TREAT Priorities

Shytoshi Kusama , the figure behind the Shiba Inu ecosystem, has responded to recent allegations that the team is focusing more on the new token, TREAT, while neglecting BONE.

The debate surfaced after the Shiba Inu team launched an airdrop initiative to distribute TREAT tokens to users of KuCoin, following the exchange’s plans to list TREAT, Shiba Inu’s new reward token.

Concerns Over Neglect of BONE Amid TREAT’s Hype

While many within the Shiba Inu community celebrated TREAT’s listing on prominent exchanges, a section of users voiced discontent, alleging that the team is sidelining BONE. This sentiment was echoed by a pseudonymous community member- Snow, who argued that the same dedication shown for TREAT should extend to BONE .

Snow urged the Shiba Inu team to expedite efforts to secure BONE’s presence on major trading platforms, igniting a broader discussion within the community. Another user, DankDollar, highlighted that TREAT’s success hinges on its integration with BONE and Shibarium, emphasizing the interdependence of the ecosystem. In a harsh critique, he accused Kusama of exhibiting “irrational” decision-making.

Kusama Reaffirms Commitment to the Ecosystem

In response , Kusama dismissed claims of neglecting any aspect of the ecosystem, including BONE. He firmly stated, “You think I would work my tail off for years and forget ANY part of the system,” underscoring his dedication to all components of the Shiba Inu project.

BONE holds significant importance within the ecosystem, functioning as the governance token of ShibaSwap and the gas token for Shibarium. Kusama’s remarks suggest that every project within the ecosystem, including BONE, will receive the necessary attention.

Dispelling Misinformation About BONE

In a subsequent statement, Kusama addressed rumors about BONE’s mintability. A Solidity developer operating under the alias @shallowhal-i4n alleged that the BONE token contract remains mintable despite the team’s announcement in 2023 that the contract was renounced.

Kusama dismissed these claims as fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD), insinuating that the timing of these allegations was intended to undermine the TREAT launch. He emphasized that the team adheres to a strategic approach for project rollouts and will not be derailed by baseless accusations.

Adding to this, Kaal Dhairya, Shiba Inu’s lead developer, clarified that the BONE contract was rendered immutable through the TopDog contract, ensuring that no additional tokens can be minted.

TREAT’s Launch: A Milestone for Shiba Inu

As the Shiba Inu community welcomes TREAT’s debut, trading is set to begin on KuCoin, Bitget, and Gate.io. Users on these platforms stand to benefit from an airdrop initiative, which aims to distribute TREAT tokens as part of its promotional campaign.

With Kusama and the Shiba Inu team addressing community concerns and dispelling misinformation, the ecosystem appears poised for further development. Both TREAT and BONE are expected to play pivotal roles in advancing the Shiba Inu vision, emphasizing the project’s interconnectedness and long-term strategic direction.
