Shiba Inu community administrator Mazrael issued a security alert, explicitly stating that all official ecosystem services—including ShibaSwap and Shibarium—are now accessible exclusively through Shib.io. He urged users to abandon any old domain names and carefully verify links before interacting with the ecosystem to prevent asset loss.
Shib.io Is the Single Official Portal
Mazrael stressed that Shib.io serves as the core gateway for the Shiba Inu ecosystem, integrating the decentralized exchange ShibaSwap and the Layer-2 network Shibarium. Users must only use Shib.io when connecting wallets, confirming transactions, or interacting with ecosystem products. He noted that any website claiming to offer official services with a different address poses a security risk.
Recent reports indicate some users still rely on old domains to access ecosystem services. Mazrael warned that those addresses are no longer maintained, and continued use could lead to private key leaks or fund theft. The community should develop the habit of manually typing the official domain each time rather than relying on search results or third-party links.
Shib The Metaverse Domain No Longer Under Project Control
Mazrael clarified that the domain previously associated with the Shib The Metaverse virtual world project is no longer owned or administered by the Shiba Inu core team. This address may be purchased by third parties in the future or repurposed for completely different objectives. "For your safety, do not assume that any future content appearing at this domain is affiliated with the SHIB ecosystem," he cautioned.
This means users who visit the old domain may see seemingly official pages that are actually run by unknown third parties. Mazrael advised the community to completely abandon that address and never enter personal information or connect a wallet there.
Verify Links Before Connecting Wallets
Mazrael emphasized that if Shib The Metaverse relaunches, access will be provided through Shib.io, not via any separate domain. This approach centralizes all official connections under a single verified platform, reducing user confusion.
He reminded the community to double-check links before connecting wallets, confirming transactions, or entering sensitive information. Phishing sites targeting unsuspecting users may quickly emerge after old domains are decommissioned. The Shiba Inu ecosystem, which evolved from a meme coin into a broader project covering ShibaSwap, Shibarium, and metaverse initiatives, faces increasing phishing attempts as its user base grows. Mazrael's warning aims to clarify official channels and enhance user security.
