Recent updates from the project’s leadership suggest a surge in developer activity and ecosystem growth, potentially setting the stage for a resurgence in the popular meme coin’s fortunes.
On Monday, Shiba Inu’s marketing lead, known as LUCIE, took to X to share exciting news about the project’s progress.
“Shibarium approached a 3-month high in deployed contracts, showing strong developer activity,” LUCIE tweeted, highlighting the growing interest in building on the Shiba Inu blockchain.
The update also covered improvements to Shiba Eternity, the project’s play-to-earn game. Notable enhancements include new tournament features, bug fixes, and overall performance upgrades, demonstrating the team’s commitment to creating a robust and engaging ecosystem beyond mere token speculation.
 
Interestingly, LUCIE’s bullish update follows earlier comments that seemed to target rival meme coins. On September 7, the pundit expressed skepticism about projects claiming success based solely on their association with SHIB.
“Yes, I’ll laugh and think you’re foolish if you compare any token to SHIB with only the bare minimum achieved,” LUCIE stated. “SHIB’s community works every day, supporting and building the ecosystem. If you’re looking for that kind of loyalty and commitment, it’s here. Focus on statistics and blockchain data, the rest is just noise.” She added, sharing a chart showing SHIB’s impressive all-time performance compared to rival meme tokens DOGE, EPEP, and WIF.
That said, the Shiba Inu team’s focus on substantive development appears to be garnering attention from prominent figures in the crypto space. Justin Sun, founder of TRON and a billionaire entrepreneur, recently acknowledged Shiba Inu’s burning mechanism as a model for other projects.
While discussing strategies for his SunPump token, Sun noted, “Burning LP tokens has several advantages, including increasing token liquidity depth, allowing the burned liquidity to still be utilized, and being more regulator-friendly.”
This recognition from a major player in the cryptocurrency world underscores Shiba Inu’s innovative approach to tokenomics and community engagement. The project’s burning mechanism, which reduces the circulating supply of SHIB tokens, has become a talking point in discussions about sustainable token economics and its ability to drive up SHIB’s value to the highly-coveted $0.001 SHIB price.
Looking ahead, some analysts remain optimistic about SHIB’s potential. Cryptocurrency influencer Zach Humphries recently predicted significant growth for the token in the coming year. “Could SHIB 10x in this cycle? Could it set all-time highs? Hell yeah, it definitely can and most likely will,” Humphries stated in a YouTube video, tying SHIB’s prospects to Ethereum’s performance.
However, Humphries also emphasized the need for patience and strategic development, particularly advocating for an automated burn mechanism to reduce SHIB’s supply and potentially boost its value.
At press time, SHIB was trading at $0.00001347, reflecting a 3.02% surge over the past 24 hours.
