The Shiba Inu crew just dropped a major heads-up for the SHIB community about sketchy fake tokens floating around Shibarium. And get this – while they're busy warning folks, SHIB's burn rate just went completely bonkers, shooting up by a mind-blowing 1,887% in just 24 hours.
SHIB's (Shiba Inu) Marketing Boss Tells Community: "Don't Get Scammed"
So here's what went down. Lucie, who's basically the face of SHIB marketing (though nobody knows her real name), posted this tweet that's got everyone talking. She shared this cool AI cartoon of herself just chilling and meditating, with all the legit Shibarium tokens – SHIB, BONE, LEASH, and TREAT – floating around her like some crypto zen master.

She reminded everyone that SHIB started life on Ethereum before the dev team worked their magic to get it over to Shibarium. But here's the kicker – Lucie made it crystal clear that if you want the real deal, you've gotta check the official Shiba Inu website for the genuine SHIB address. Her message was pretty straightforward: "Stay SAFE. DYOR. Avoid fakes."
The TREAT token got its own special shoutout too. On Wednesday, @susbarium (which is connected to the SHIB crew) put out their own warning specifically about TREAT. They spelled it out plain and simple – this token only runs on two addresses: 0xa02C49Da76A085e4E1EE60A6b920dDbC8db599F4 on Ethereum and 0x506d8d2d9c715Eb34F514cc3EF48C7aBD19e2bc7 on Shibarium. You can double-check these on the official site. Their tweet was short and sweet: "Only One Shiba Inu Treat."
Shiba Inu (SHIB) Community Goes Wild, Burns Over 4.5 Million Tokens
While all this drama was unfolding, something pretty incredible was happening behind the scenes. The Shibburn tracker shows that SHIB holders went absolutely mental with token burning, cranking up the burn rate by 1,887% in the last day. We're talking about 4,580,463 SHIB tokens getting sent to crypto heaven – that's serious business.
The heavy lifting came from two massive burns that happened just hours ago. Someone (or some group) torched 4,580,463 SHIB tokens about five hours back, and then another burn of 1,173,708 SHIB happened three hours later. Both batches got sent to addresses where they can never be touched again – basically digital incineration.

New Way to Burn SHIB (Shiba Inu) Through BASE Chain
Lucie wasn't done dropping news though. She also let everyone know about this fresh opportunity to burn SHIB through something called Zora.co, which hooks up with Coinbase's BASE layer-2 chain (yeah, that's built on Ethereum too). She's basically inviting SHIB fans to join what she calls the "BASE fam" and help out with more burning action.
Here's how it works – every time someone makes a transaction on Shibarium, a chunk of those BONE gas fees gets automatically turned into SHIB and then burned. It's like a never-ending bonfire that keeps the supply shrinking without anyone having to lift a finger. Pretty clever if you ask me.
