The Shiba Inu community awaits communication from lead developer Shytoshi Kusama, whose last post or interaction on X dates back to May 13, 2026. In September 2026, he changed his biography to “Polish” and his location to “Close,” fueling speculation that a project might be nearing completion, but he did not confirm whether the changes relate to Shiba Inu, his artificial intelligence initiative or another undertaking. Meanwhile, the Shibarium reorganization has been resolved, although the layer-2 network remains in rebuild mode and the DRPC still needs to complete its transition to the new environment. Shibarium has welcomed the launch of CreateX, the deployment of all 12 Safe v1.4.1 contracts at their canonical addresses and the full activation of x402 for payments in SHIB, TREAT or wrapped BONE ; its RPC listing was also updated in the Ethereum-lists/chains registry, while the official SHIB website and ShibaSwap migrated to Cloudflare with IPv6 support.
