Shytoshi Kusama, the lead developer of the Shiba Inu project, has raised an urgent warning about potential interference with the project’s decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).
In a recent post on X, Kusama revealed that he discovered a plan by what he termed “shadowcats” to compromise the DAO’s governance structure.
Took me a moment to realize it, and it only came in a dream, but now I see the shadowcats plan to take over the dao. Same plan from before, (mostly) new bad actors. It won't succeed as plans are in place for just such actions.

Kusama’s revelation came unexpectedly. He describes it as insight gained through a dream. He stated that these attempts would not succeed, emphasizing that the team has prepared countermeasures to protect the ecosystem’s integrity.
The Shiba Inu DAO and the Community’s Response
The proposed DAO is designed to give every token holder a voice in the project’s decision-making process. This approach aims to democratize governance, allowing community members to participate regardless of their stake size.
Community members quickly rallied around Kusama’s stance. One supporter noted the importance of proactive security, stating that identifying potential threats early is crucial for maintaining the ecosystem’s long-term stability.
However, another community member stressed the fundamental principle of decentralized governance, arguing that once a proposal receives sufficient votes, it should proceed without external interference.
If the SHIB team can approve or reject proposals voted on by the community, it could lead down a slippery slope of centralized control and a pattern of rejecting the desires of those with stakes in the ecosystem.
The community’s response highlighted a collective commitment to protecting the DAO’s core principles. Many appreciated the leadership’s transparency and willingness to address potential challenges head-on. They view the DAO as a critical mechanism for ensuring fair and democratic decision-making within the Shiba Inu ecosystem.

Other Major Developments in the SHIB Ecosystem
There are many other exciting developments in the community. In collaboration with K9 Finance, the Shiba Inu team has introduced a reward program encouraging new users to engage with Shibarium’s liquid staking feature.
First-time users can earn up to $500 as a holiday incentive. This aims to boost the adoption of the Ethereum-based sidechain and its staking functionalities.
Liquid staking allows participants to earn rewards by staking Bone tokens while gaining kBONE, a liquid representation for broader use within the ecosystem.
This initiative seeks to enhance activity and reinforce Shibarium’s growth. Experts believe a SHIB bull run is on the horizon, and with the many positive developments in the ecosystem, it might surpass expectations.
