- Shiba Inu’s lead developer highlights internal divisions as the main obstacle to ecosystem growth.
- The developer urges strengthening DAO governance and transparency to unify the community and boost SHIB’s position.
Shiba Inu’s price recently dipped, prompting one of its major developers, known as Kaal, to emphasize that the ecosystem’s top priority is achieving unity through improved governance.
Internal Divisions and Personal Biases Undermine Shibarium Growth
Kaal addressed the Shiba Inu community on X, acknowledging widespread concerns amid the price decline. He attributed the primary challenge to persistent internal conflicts and a lack of collective focus. Decisions within the ecosystem have been influenced more by personal biases and rivalries than by objective assessments of project contributions to Shibarium’s development.
Woof, your concerns are valid, and you are certainly entitled to step away if that’s your choice—but it’s important to acknowledge the support you have received. Personally, I recommended your project to the magazine, which provided coverage to ensure your exceptional work gained… https://t.co/wZ4Fko7sYy

He cited the example of K9, a project which, unlike many current initiatives, was supported rather than dismissed, allowing it to flourish with strong backing.
In contrast, genuine projects today face collateral damage from infighting, often driven by figures who previously benefited from the community’s resources or leveraged their influence through shifting identities.
Kaal also noted the prevalence of advisors and influencers promoting tokens for compensation, a practice common in the broader crypto industry and the Shiba Inu community.
He stressed the need for higher ethical standards, pledging personal transparency when advising projects that may benefit him directly.
Calls for Empowered DAO and Transparent Governance to Counter External Pressures
Facing external challenges such as losing SHIB’s top 10 ranking, overlooking by prominent web3 players, and the dominance of centralized exchanges.
Kaal emphasized the necessity for Shiba Inu’s community to unite under a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). The DAO would enable democratic, inclusive decision-making and prevent favoritism.
He outlined plans to implement a quad-token governance system governed by an ethical code, referred to as the “Great Canine Code.”
This framework aims to maintain accountability among leadership figures like Shy and LC while ensuring that community projects are selected based on merit and contribution rather than personal influence.
By empowering every Shibizen with an equal voice, Kaal believes the community can reverse current fragmentation, support authentic projects such as Shib Tank, and build a sustainable governance model focused on transparency and fairness.
At the time of this update, Shiba Inu (SHIB) is trading at $0.00001232, reflecting a 2.07% increase over the past 24 hours. The intraday price ranged between $0.00001206 and $0.00001241.
