A long-standing member of the Shiba Inu community, known as Mazrael, has issued a renewed warning to SHIB users regarding obsolete domain names associated with the ecosystem. According to his latest statement, these addresses—no longer managed by the project—should not be considered official access points for Shiba Inu services.
Shib.io now the official portal
Mazrael emphasized that Shib.io serves as the core portal for the Shiba Inu ecosystem, including ShibaSwap and Shibarium. He urged users to rely solely on this address and to carefully verify all official links for security reasons before interacting with the ecosystem or its products.
Glossary: Shibarium is a layer-2 blockchain network developed for the Shiba Inu ecosystem. ShibaSwap is the ecosystem’s decentralized trading application.
This warning extends beyond general ecosystem addresses. Mazrael also reminded the community about the domain name previously associated with the Shib The Metaverse virtual world project, clarifying its current status and management.
Shib The Metaverse domain no longer managed by project
According to Mazrael, the domain name tied to the Shib The Metaverse project is no longer owned or administered by the Shiba Inu core team. He cautioned that this address could potentially be purchased by third parties in the future, or repurposed for entirely different objectives.
For your safety, do not assume that any future content appearing at this domain is affiliated with the SHIB ecosystem.
This warning points to the risks of interacting with apparently official websites that are no longer connected to the project. Particularly after the decommissioning of older domain names, users are encouraged not to use these addresses for accessing official Shiba Inu services.
Verification urged before connecting wallets
Mazrael also noted that if Shib The Metaverse is relaunched, access is expected to be provided through Shib.io, rather than via an independent domain. This approach aims to centralize all official connections under a single, verified platform within the SHIB ecosystem.
When Shib The Metaverse becomes available again, access is expected to be through Shib.io, not any separate domain name.
His message to the community stressed the importance of double-checking links before connecting wallets, confirming transactions, or entering sensitive information. The risk remains particularly high that unofficial sites may emerge after old domains are decommissioned, targeting unsuspecting users.
Originating as a meme coin, Shiba Inu has grown over time into a larger crypto ecosystem, bringing together components like ShibaSwap, Shibarium, and metaverse initiatives. The latest warning is intended to clarify the project’s official access channels and reinforce user security.
