Shytoshi Kusama, the leader of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, responded to a recent ranking of the top five crypto communities. TRENDY, a popular coin-ranking bot, shared the list featuring five notable communities, including Kusama’s project. The ranking spotlighted “Shy On Solana” (SHY), a project Kusama supports.
Other communities listed included Dogwifscarfcoin, which currently faces suspension on X, and Purple on Bitcoin, combining Bitcoin’s security with Solana’s efficiency. The ranking also highlighted JERKSTEVE and Kekius Maximus CTO.
Kusama’s reaction to the list comes amid growing debates about his involvement in various projects. Critics have questioned his leadership and transparency within the Shiba Inu ecosystem.
Allegations Stir Controversy
Kusama faces new allegations from Shibburn, a well-known SHIB ($0.00) burn tracker. Shibburn accused Kusama and his team of misleading the community about SHY. The tracker claimed they falsely presented SHY as a Solana community initiative rather than a project directly linked to Kusama.
