The security risks in the Shibarium ecosystem have once again sparked dissatisfaction within the community. K9 Finance, a liquidity staking platform, recently publicly accused the Shiba Inu team of a passive attitude towards the September cross-chain bridge hack, which resulted in over $4 million in funds being stolen.
According to K9 Finance, they strictly followed all guidance from the SHIB official team, but subsequent communication fell into silence. This “shiba inu black” style of non-response has made affected community members and project parties feel neglected.
Deadline and Governance Confrontation
K9 Finance has issued a clear ultimatum—by January 6, 2026, they will either receive full financial compensation or initiate a DAO vote to decide the future direction of the ecosystem. This move reflects the community’s fundamental distrust of official transparency.
Deep-rooted Issue: Cracks in Community Cohesion
This incident has exposed a more serious problem—the core developers of Shiba Inu have been increasingly questioned for long-term neglect of community voices. From technical decisions to security responses, the lack of community participation is eroding the cohesion of this ecosystem. K9 Finance’s tough stance actually represents the boiling anger within the entire Shiba Inu community.
