The pseudonymous leader of the SHIB developers and their community, Shytoshi Kusama, has warned SHIB users on Discord against issuing NFTs on Shibarium, which will become possible once the Layer 2 blockchain is launched on mainnet.
Shiba Inu’s official marketing specialist, @LucieSHIB, shared a screenshot of this conversation on her X App personal page.
“DYOR and Be Careful”: SHIB Lead Developer
Shytoshi Kusama showed up at Shibarium Tech on Discord and started chatting with average users. One of them wrote that he was attracted to DeFi through Shiba Inu and asked the SHIB leader if instructions would be published on how to make NFTs through Shibarium.
Kusama told him that it’s up to any platform based on Shibarium – one has to choose the best one they think is suitable. However, Shytoshi warned the user to be careful and do their own research (DYOR).

The whole thing sounded like a mini AMA. The next question was whether Shytoshi plans to perform SHIB burns before Shibarium launches; presumably it will happen at the upcoming ETH Toronto event in Canada on August 15-16, where SHIB will be a major sponsor and Shytoshi Kusama will give a speech via AI.
Kusama promises three new “partner shibs,” declared war on the X app
A day before, the mysterious Shiba Inu leader left a message on the eponymous Shiba Inu channel on Telegram. He stated that there are three new “partner shibs”. One of them has already been inked, and the Shibarium team will soon be hiring some new experts who will help it move towards global decentralization.
Two others will be announced in detail later. Kusama also took a joke on Elon Musk’s X app, rebranded from Twitter, presenting an “equation” to SHIB users: “SHIB > X.”
On Discord, he wrote that once Shibarium launches, it will show the global crypto community that Shiba Inu will always be bigger than X or any other token.
However, Elon Musk recently refuted rumors of the X app launching a native cryptocurrency, adding that it would never happen. Besides, Musk is a well-known lover of memes and meme cryptocurrency DOGE.
As reported by U.Today on Thursday, the SHIB team has staged a “meme battle” to choose an ultimate meme that will demonstrate Shiba Inu’s supremacy over the X app.
