The Shiba Inu community has raised concerns over the recent absence of Shytoshi Kusama, the project’s lead developer, from social media. This comes at a time when the token is struggling to maintain key price levels amid broader market volatility.

With speculation about Kusama’s whereabouts and role in the ecosystem increasing, Lucie, the marketing lead for the Shiba Inu ecosystem, has addressed these concerns, highlighting that Kusama’s absence is intentional and aligns with his stated plans.

Recently, there has been a lull in Shytoshi Kusama's activity on social media. His last direct post on X (formerly Twitter) was on February 21, when he announced the latest enhancements to liquidity pools on ShibaSwap.

Since then, his presence has been limited to a few retweets, with the most recent one from March 7, where he shared a post by Astra Nova, a company that recently partnered with Shiba Inu for a new project.

This prolonged inactivity has sparked speculation within the community. Some users are inquiring about Kusama's whereabouts, while others are spreading unfounded rumors, which critics have attempted to use to discredit his role within the ecosystem.

In response to these concerns, Lucie, the marketing lead for the Shiba Inu ecosystem, recently addressed these concerns, stating that there is no need for alarm regarding Kusama’s reduced social media presence.

According to Lucie, Kusama’s absence aligns with a strategy he previously communicated—to dedicate more time to expanding Shiba Inu’s global reach. This would suggest that while Kusama may not be as visible online, he is engaged in crucial offline efforts.

These could include strategic meetings with potential partners, forging collaborations to increase the project’s prominence, or attending industry events to broaden Shiba Inu’s footprint.

As Kusama continues his efforts in expanding the project, the community can anticipate updates from him on the various initiatives he is working on.
