Shiba Inu Burn Rate Surges with 43.5M Tokens Destroyed
The Shiba Inu burn rate surged notably with 43,486,236 tokens sent to dead wallets over the past 24 hours.
The burn mechanism permanently removes tokens from circulation by sending them to inaccessible addresses.
Recent burn transactions include 42,914,889 SHIB burned 23 hours ago, 471,698 SHIB destroyed 19 hours ago, and 69,420 SHIB eliminated 3 hours ago.
The total tokens burnt from the initial supply now stand at 410,752,511,754,127 SHIB, which is over 41% of the maximum total supply of 999,982,335,928,955.
The aggressive burn strategy aims to create scarcity that supports long-term price appreciation—the current circulating supply totals 585,201,885,058,597 SHIB, with 4,045,603,187,275 tokens staked as xSHIB.
The 27,014.16% increase in burn rate is one of the largest single-day surges in the project’s history. Previous burn rate spikes have correlated with major ecosystem developments or community initiatives.
Burn transactions route through the BA-1 and CA burn addresses, which are visible in recent activity logs. The transparent burn process allows community verification of destroyed tokens.
Shibarium Restores Plasma Bridge with Enhanced Security Features
Shibarium announced that the Plasma Bridge has returned online for BONE following a comprehensive security review and improved implementation.
Users can bridge BONE between Ethereum and Shibarium with improved safety measures. The restoration is a recovery from a previous exploit that forced a temporary suspension.
The platform introduced a proactive blacklisting system that flags and blocks suspicious addresses at the bridge layer.
The functionality prevents repeat exploitation attempts and reduces the risk of abuse across the ecosystem. Blacklisting provides quick response capability against rising threats without the need for a full bridge shutdown.
All BONE Plasma withdrawals now include a mandatory 7-day finalization delay, providing operators and security teams time to monitor and respond to unusual activity before funds are finalized.
The buffer improves defense capabilities without removing user access. Plasma’s fraud-resistance properties combine with the delay to create a practical response window if anomalies are detected.
Users can now deposit and withdraw BONE bidirectionally between Ethereum and Shibarium.
The process involves depositing BONE on the source chain, a 7-day challenge period for withdrawal finalization on the destination chain, and finalization after the delay window closes.
KNINE Bounty Extended Following Initial Offer Expiration
The K9 DAO 5 ETH bounty for the return of the KNINE token has officially expired, with the attacker ignoring the recovery offer.
The exploiter drained and sold approximately $600 worth of OSCAR tokens from the bridge while keeping KNINE tokens. Attacker-controlled addresses remain blacklisted, rendering KNINE tokens unusable to them.
Shibarium will extend one final bounty offer with an amount to be determined for the complete return of all KNINE tokens taken in the incident.
Final bounty terms, including return address, verification steps, and payout method, will be announced exclusively through verified Shibarium channels.
The team coordinated with legal counsel and relevant authorities to ensure compliance and a safe, transparent process.
Shiba Inu Price Shows Modest Recovery
SHIB price gained over 3% in the past 24 hours amid the Shiba Inu burn rate surge and Shibarium infrastructure improvements.
The modest recovery follows an extended downtrend, with SHIB down 42% over the past year and 18% in the past 30 days. The token remains 87% below its all-time high of $0.00008616, reached on October 28, 2021.
The price action suggests that market participants view the restoration of the Plasma Bridge and security enhancements positively. Ecosystem infrastructure improvements provide fundamental support for long-term value propositions.
Gradual re-enablement for additional tokens beyond BONE is planned with staged rollouts applying the same testing and review standards.
