Shytoshi Kusama, the pseudonymous lead developer of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, has encouraged Shiba Inu-themed developers.
In particular, the Shiba Inu leader openly acknowledged the efforts of builders on the Shibarium blockchain. Kusama made the commendation in a recent statement in the Shibarium Telegram group. “Excited to see all the incredible projects on,” Kusama remarked.
Notably, Kusama mentioned that he had been reserved regarding the struggles of the teams developing worthwhile projects using Shibarium. However, he has broken free from the silent mode to recognize their endeavors. “Finally, get to come out of quiet mode for all the amazing projects out there,” the Shiba Inu leader noted.
Lucie, the Shiba Inu content specialist, shared a screenshot of Kusama’s statement on the X platform with the Shiba Inu community.
It may seem like we’re quiet and ignoring projects, but truth be told, we’ve got our eyes glued to every Shibarium project! 👀🐂👷♀️
We’re eagerly watching the developments, innovations, and the incredible work being done.
Keep up the great work, #Shibarium gang! 🚀💪… pic.twitter.com/JkZPa68Ozf— 𝐋𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐄 | ✨Shibarium✨ (@LucieSHIB) October 22, 2023
Besides, Lucie reinforced the appreciative stance of the Shiba Inu development team on Shibarium-based projects. She noted that while it may appear the team turns blind eyes at projects building on Shibarium, it does not represent reality.
“Truth be told, we’ve got our eyes glued to every Shibarium project,” Lucie proclaimed. The Shiba Inu representative emphasized that the team recognizes all the Shibarium projects and is delighted to have them. In her words:
“We’re eagerly watching the developments, innovations, and incredible work being done. Keep up the great work, Shibarium gang! ”

More Usage Means More SHIB Burns
Amid Kusama’s commendation of builders on Shibarium, a SHIB Army complained about the declining volume of SHIB burn. Kusama reiterated that Shibarium cannot independently burn Shiba Inu tokens. Specifically, he noted that more usage of Shibarium drives utility, leading to more SHIB burns.
