WoofSwap Challenges Shibarium Leadership with Comprehensive Reform Proposal

• WoofSwap proposed reforms for Shibarium after accusing leaders of favoring specific projects over others.

• The dispute involves alleged selective endorsements that create unfair competition within the ecosystem.

• Both sides want transparency reforms to attract developers and improve Shibarium’s competitiveness.

WoofSwap has unveiled an ambitious reform plan targeting Shibarium’s development structure after publicly criticizing Shiba Inu leadership for alleged project favoritism. The decentralized exchange outlined specific measures to enhance network performance and restore community balance.

WoofSwap’s Eight-Point Reform Strategy

The proposed reforms address multiple technical and governance issues within Shibarium. WoofSwap’s plan includes modifying the controversial 20 million BONE allocation based on community input and implementing smart contract optimizations to reduce Ethereum gas fees.

The platform advocates for expanded cross-chain token support and the introduction of a BONE burn mechanism alongside existing SHIB burns. WoofSwap also proposes gradual validator node expansion to strengthen decentralization across the network.

Additional recommendations include relaunching community channels with increased transparency, converting Karma into a meme coin with community airdrops, and developing new presale and gaming platforms aligned with Web3 adoption trends.

WoofSwap emphasized the importance of internal improvements before pursuing external objectives. The platform stated that successfully implementing these changes would enable crowdfunded exchange listings or make Shibarium attractive enough for exchanges to pursue independently.

Leadership Dispute Over Project Endorsements

The reform proposal follows WoofSwap’s criticism of Shiba Inu leaders Shytoshi Kusama and Kaal Dhairya for promoting Positions Exchange’s POE token while overlooking other Shibarium projects. WoofSwap argued this selective endorsement creates an uneven playing field within the ecosystem.

The platform highlighted concerns about payment limitations to SOL and ETH, suggesting these restrictions disadvantage certain projects. WoofSwap maintains that core leadership should remain neutral when multiple projects can build on Shibarium.

Kaal Dhairya acknowledged potential perceptions of favoritism while defending his efforts to increase WoofSwap’s visibility. The developer identified external competition as the primary threat and cautioned against internal divisions affecting ecosystem decisions.

Dhairya called for enhanced DAO governance, clearer leadership structures, and adherence to the “Great Canine Code” ethical guidelines. He emphasized that community-driven governance would ensure fair opportunities for legitimate projects across Shibarium.

The Shiba Inu ecosystem maintains momentum with significant developments beyond the governance dispute. Lead developer Shytoshi Kusama recently announced a new partnership focused on intelligent infrastructure development for Shibarium.

The network is transitioning into its next phase with the Alpha Layer update rollout. These technical advances coincide with Shiba Inu’s fifth anniversary celebrations, highlighting the project’s evolution since inception.

WoofSwap and Shiba Inu leadership agree on the need for reform and increased transparency. Implementing WoofSwap’s proposals could upgrade Shibarium’s technical capabilities while attracting new developers to the ecosystem.
