- Shiba Inu’s burn rate skyrocketed by 660.52% in just 24 hours, thanks to active community involvement and the adoption of Shibarium.
- Two specific wallet addresses burned millions of SHIB tokens, contributing to the surge in the burn rate.
The Shiba Inu cryptocurrency has witnessed a substantial spike in its burn rate, recording a staggering 660.52% increase within the last 24 hours, according to Shibburn. This surge in burning activity has taken the crypto community by storm, sparking significant interest and curiosity within the crypto space.
The enthusiastic Shiba Inu community is the driving force behind this remarkable surge in the SHIB burn rate. Over the past day, community members have collectively disposed of an impressive 115,766,995 SHIB meme coins, with four burn transactions leading to this surge. The most substantial of these transactions involved an anonymous whale shoveling a staggering 111,669,458 SHIB tokens into an unspendable blockchain SHIB address. This anonymous contributor’s identity remains a mystery, adding intrigue to the story.
This surge comes hot on the heels of a 219% increase in the SHIB burn rate observed just a day earlier, signifying a continuous and growing trend in the burning of SHIB tokens. The Shiba Inu team has played a pivotal role in facilitating these burn initiatives.
The Shiba Inu team recently introduced an automated mode for transferring SHIB tokens to dead-end addresses, streamlining and accelerating the burn process. This automation is currently undergoing testing on the Puppynet, the Shibarium testnet. As a part of the ongoing improvements, Puppynet is being migrated from the Ethereum network Goerli to a new network called Sepolia. This transition aims to provide higher transaction speeds, reduced fees, and enhancements to the Shiba Inu ecosystem.
Shiba Inu’s Ambitious Plans
The Shiba Inu team, led by marketing expert Lucie, has ambitious plans for the cryptocurrency. Lucie revealed that they had a meeting with the mysterious lead developer known as Shytoshi Kusama. Although Lucie couldn’t disclose many details, she did unveil the team’s objective to complete all developments related to SHIB on Shibarium before the year’s end. While this is presented as a goal rather than a promise, it demonstrates the team’s commitment to advancing the project.
After meeting with @ShytoshiKusama I can't reveal much, but I can say one thing: The goal is to have everything finished by the end of this year. The whole vision should be completed by 2024/2025. It's not a promise, but that's the goal.

The impact of these developments on Shibarium is anticipated to be significant, promising advancements in the layer-2 network. To ensure the success of these burn campaigns and broader adoption efforts, DaVinci, an admin within the Shiba Inu community, has called for uniform contributions to the burning campaign, focusing on Shibarium adoption. DaVinci emphasizes the importance of community engagement and warns against token holders who abstain from using Shibarium while pushing others to burn their tokens. This behavior is likened to that of scammers, and DaVinci points out that Shibarium utilization generates fees, which can be optimized through active community involvement.

DaVinci highlights the direct correlation between Shibarium utilization and the accumulation of fees, which, in turn, boosts the burn campaign. The community’s commitment to Shibarium is seen as instrumental in generating sufficient demand for SHIB tokens when the burn portal becomes operational.
