The Shiba Inu community has been issued an important clarification by Shiba Inu developer Kaal Dhairya. In a tweet, Dhairya addressed growing speculation and misinformation regarding Shiba Inu’s tokens — SHIB, LEASH, BONE, TREAT — allegedly being available on the Solana blockchain.
“SHIB, LEASH, BONE, and TREAT are NOT on Solana. When/if we go multichain, we will put it on the main website,” Dhairya tweeted.

This message is an important warning to the Shiba Inu community, especially given the growing popularity of cross-chain projects and multi-chain token scams.
Shiba Inu and the Shibarium network are Ethereum-based. The Shiba Inu ecosystem includes SHIB, the native token; Leash; Bone, Shibarium’s gas token; and TREAT.
This alert serves as a reminder for the crypto community to rely on official channels for updates and information about the Shiba Inu ecosystem. It also highlights the importance of staying vigilant against potential scams or misinformation in the crypto space.
In a recent blog post, Dhairya stated that rather than waiting for users to migrate to Shibarium, Shiba Inu aims to bring Shibarium to every chain possible — while keeping it as the hub for settlement, governance and synergy across all networks.
While Shiba Inu is exploring various innovations including Shibarium, Dhairya’s clarification confirms that any official move toward multi-chain deployment would be disclosed publicly via Shiba Inu’s main website or trusted means.
Shiba Inu ecosystem continues to expand
The Shiba Inu ecosystem is expanding, with SHIB, LEASH, BONE and TREAT playing key roles. The TREAT token debuted on Jan. 14, 2025, first launching on Ethereum, with plans to bridge it to Shibarium and other layer-2 solutions in the future.
In December, Shiba Inu (SHIB) adopted the Chainlink Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard, integrating Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) for blockchain interoperability as its canonical cross-chain infrastructure.
The Shiba Inu ecosystem just made a huge step toward increased adoption with the launch of an upgraded Swap and Bridge platform on Shib.io. This new capability intends to create a tapestry of cross-chain interactions that connect Shibarium to users on various blockchains.
