Shytoshi Kusama, the pseudonymous lead developer of Shiba Inu, has clarified that Shiba Eternity, a card-based trading game, is not connected to the K9 ecosystem. The clarification followed a comment made by K9 Finance’s co-founder, Buzz, which mistakenly placed Shiba Eternity within the scope of K9 Finance.
Buzz’s comment came during the promotion of K9 Finance DAO’s Bonecrusher Testnet, which is preparing for the launch of their liquid staking project on September 18. The mix-up drew attention from the Shiba Inu community, prompting Kusama’s intervention to correct the record.
Buzz’s Comments on K9 Promotions
Buzz’s comment arose during a tweet encouraging users to participate in a live stream highlighting the Bonecrusher Testnet. The live session aimed to showcase K9 Finance DAO’s progress ahead of the project’s upcoming launch. While promoting the testnet, Buzz mentioned several projects he claimed to be part of the K9 ecosystem.
Among them were Living the Dream (LTD) token, Bad Idea AI, and Shiba Eternity, a statement that caught the attention of the Shiba Inu community. The inclusion of Shiba Eternity in the list of projects associated with K9 sparked confusion, leading to Kusama’s response.
Kusama Responds to Miscommunication
Two days after Buzz’s tweet, Kusama responded to clarify that Shiba Eternity is not connected to the K9 ecosystem. Instead, the game remains firmly within the Shiba Inu ecosystem, where it has gained significant popularity since its release in 2022.
Kusama’s clarification not only addressed the misinformation but also helped to reassert Shiba Eternity’s connection to its rightful ecosystem. As Shiba Eternity continues to develop, the Shiba Inu team has been working to integrate the game with the Shibarium network, a process that has already entered closed beta testing.

After Kusama’s clarification, Buzz quickly retracted his previous statement, apologizing to both Kusama and the Shiba Inu community for the miscommunication. Buzz acknowledged that Shiba Eternity belongs to the Shiba Inu ecosystem and not K9 Finance.
His apology was accepted by the community, which appreciated the swift correction. Despite the confusion, K9 Finance’s Bonecrusher Testnet promotion continued as planned, with Buzz ensuring that future comments regarding ecosystem affiliations would be more precise.
