- Shiba Inu lead developer updates profile picture, hinting at potential changes.
- Shytoshi Kusama’s new avatar picture sparks speculation in Shiba Inu community.
- A possible sign of Shibarium mainnet launch as Shiba Inu developer alters profile picture.
The lead developer of Shiba Inu, who goes by the pseudonym Shytoshi Kusama, has updated his avatar picture on the official “Shibarium Tech” channel on Telegram.
This change was observed by Lucie, a content marketing specialist within the SHIB team. Shytoshi Kusama, known for his philosophical style of communication, often leaves his followers speculating about the underlying meaning behind his actions.
He typically alters his social media statuses to indicate significant milestones or upcoming changes. In this instance, he has chosen a new profile picture for his Telegram account, featuring a Shiba Inu silhouette amidst blossoming Sakura trees. The image has an artistic aesthetic reminiscent of NFTs or classic PC games.
Given the recent statements from Shytoshi, Lucie, and some SHIB developers, it is reasonable to speculate that the launch of the Shibarium mainnet may be drawing closer, which could explain the updated profile picture. Tentative release dates of July, August, and September have been mentioned. Notably, July is only a few days away.
