A longtime Shiba Inu ecosystem contributor and advisor for Shiba Eternity, Mazrael, has issued a security warning to SHIB users after noticing a rise in fake profiles claiming to represent official project channels. The message reinforces that any new Shiba Inu communication platforms will be announced exclusively through the official website, shib.io.
The warning comes as fraudulent accounts continue appearing across social media platforms, attempting to attract users with false announcements, fake launches, and misleading investment opportunities. For crypto users, verifying information through official sources remains one of the most effective ways to avoid scams targeting established blockchain projects.

SHIB Veteran Shares Security Warning As Fake Accounts Increase
Mazrael explained through X that there are currently no new “official” Shiba Inu accounts or channels. He added that legitimate updates regarding future communication platforms would be shared through verified ecosystem resources.
The reminder follows a broader trend across the cryptocurrency sector, where impersonation scams frequently target projects with large user bases. Attackers often create accounts that mimic developers, advisors, or official brands to promote fraudulent links or collect sensitive information.
During the discussion, one user asked Mazrael about LEASH v2, the planned upgrade for the Shiba Inu ecosystem token. The advisor responded that the development is “ready and audited” while emphasizing that “foundations first” remain the priority.
LEASH v2 is designed as an updated fixed-supply token contract that addresses limitations from the previous version. The upgrade has undergone an audit by Hexens and is expected to be introduced through structured phases.
Shiba Inu Development Continues Behind The Scenes
Despite slower market conditions in 2026, Shiba Inu developers continue working on ecosystem infrastructure. Mazrael recently highlighted that builders are still delivering updates, pointing to expanded developer resources designed to support applications on Shibarium.
The documentation improvements include areas such as ERC-4337 gasless transactions through Paymaster solutions, Crypto Payments API resources, hosted on-chain data endpoints, and ShibaSwap SDK materials. These tools are intended to help developers create applications connected to the Shibarium network.
