Shiba Inu Evolution 🐕– Significant Shibarium security updates are announced by developers as strengthening safeguards.
In a new statement about the Shibarium bridge, the Shiba Inu team makes it clear that it made mistakes in its early setup and management. They acknowledged that decentralization was not accorded sufficient importance in the beginning, a choice they now regret and are actively working to rectify.
In the latest note, developer Kaal Dhairya revealed that the project leadership had been holding validator keys, something the team recognizes went against their decentralization goals. She emphasized that this oversight is being fixed quickly to ensure stronger protections for users.
To reduce risks, the developers are reinforcing bridge security controls and custody practices. They highlighted that possible attack vectors could include a cloud service breach, device compromise of team members, or supply chain vulnerabilities. Some of the affected validators even included internal ones, and a detailed forensic audit is still underway.
For context, the validator signing keys were hosted in AWS Key Management Service, with developer machines having very limited administrative permissions. In addition, each validator self-delegated 10,000 BONE stakes, and the team made it clear that no stake rewards were ever used.
A full FAQ has been published alongside the update to improve transparency. The developers mentioned that the responses reflect their current findings and may be altered as investigations and audits by third parties progress.
Shibarium's development team emphasized that decentralization will play a crucial role in the future. Dhairya emphasized that the platform will not make the same mistakes as in the past and that stronger governance and validator distribution will take precedence.
The update concluded by listing the team’s immediate goals: protecting users, fortifying the network, neutralizing the attacker, and carefully restoring services. While decentralization wasn’t implemented properly in the past, the developers reaffirmed that it remains a cornerstone of Shibarium’s long-term roadmap.
