Shiba Inu Lead Highlights SHIB's Achievements While Reacting to Complaints About Ethereum Foundation's Limited Engagement with Developers

Shytoshi Kusama, the Shiba Inu ecosystem lead, highlights SHIB’s achievements while reacting to complaints about Ethereum Foundation’s limited engagement with developers.

Shiba Inu ecosystem lead Shytoshi Kusama highlighted SHIB’s achievements while reacting to complaints about the Ethereum Foundation’s limited engagement with developers.

According to a recent X post, Cygaar, a blockchain developer and Abstract Chain contributor, expressed frustration with the Ethereum Foundation for not engaging with him or any of the Abstract Chain team members despite the project’s significant contributions to the Ethereum ecosystem.

The developer noted that this communication is imperative to help both teams figure out how best to help one another. Notably, Cygaar mentioned that Abstract chose to build a Layer-2 blockchain on Ethereum to scale the network. Additionally, he mentioned that most Abstract team members started their journeys as developers through Ethereum.

Furthermore, Cygaar highlighted Abstract’s major achievements, focusing mainly on account abstraction and consumer-friendly user experience feats. Despite the progress made, Cygaar emphasized the importance of having the Ethereum Foundation review Abstract’s work to strengthen its impact.

He called on the new Ethereum Foundation leadership to engage more with developers building on Ethereum, adding that other teams might be facing a similar challenge of neglect.

Ethereum Foundation Promises to Improve Communication Between L1 and L2

Interestingly, Joshua Rudolf, Head of Research and Development at Ethereum Foundation, responded, noting that he had sent a private message to Cygaar.

According to Rudolf, there is a need for improvement in collaboration and communication between Ethereum Layer-1s and Layer-2s.

The Ethereum Foundation exec noted that improving the communication and collaboration between L1 and L2 will be his key focus in the future.

Shiba Inu Lead Reacts

Meanwhile, the Shiba Inu lead reacted to Cygaar’s concern regarding the Ethereum Foundation’s lack of outreach and support. However, Kusama shared his opinion as a response to Rudolf in an effort to get his attention

In the post, Kusama used the opportunity to highlight Shiba Inu’s key achievements. In particular, he noted that Shibarium, Shiba Inu’s Ethereum-based Layer-2 blockchain, has processed more than 800 million transactions.

Furthermore, Kusama suggested that Shiba Inu is onboarding more users to Web3 using its full tech suite. Based on these incredible milestones, Kusama emphasized that Shiba Inu is more than a meme coin, suggesting that the cryptocurrency is a serious project with notable contributions to Ethereum and the broader crypto market.

This development follows a similar complaint Kusama made about Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin ignoring his requests for a conversation.

Kusama’s efforts to discuss with Buterin have ended in futility, including a recent attempt when he sought the Ethereum Foundation’s support to give SHIB true global adoption.
