Shiba Inu Technical Glitch Sparks False Alarm
The Shiba Inu community has faced a technical issue that sparked concerns about the project's inactivity, but it is not a sign of demise. A legacy domain registered in August 2020, shibatoken.com, was updated on April 17, 2026, and now displays a suspension notice.
Mazrael, a Shiba Eternity advisor and community veteran, warned about the deactivation of the main Shiba Inu link in early August. This technical change led to speculation that the project had ceased operations.
However, Mazrael explained that the issue is due to a deliberate administrative decision regarding the legacy domain. The domain's ownership remains registered and funded through 2027.
The community has emphasized that the project's centralized operations are now on the shib.io domain, which hosts services for ShibaSwap and Shibarium. This transition aims to streamline the project's online presence and eliminate dependencies on legacy infrastructure.
