The Shiba Inu development team has officially rolled out<\/a> LEASH v2, a new version of the ecosystem\u2019s exclusive token designed to correct a long-standing supply controversy. Over the past week, LEASH holders expressed growing concerns after a hidden rebase path in the original contract unexpectedly increased supply, resulting in a 20%+ dilution<\/a> from the 107,646 baseline. This prompted swift action from the current Shiba Inu developers, and LEASH v2 is both a corrective measure and an opportunity to restore community confidence.<\/p>\n

LEASH v2 Brings A Hard-Capped Supply<\/h2>\n

According to Shiba Inu marketing lead Lucie, the most important change<\/a> in LEASH v2 is the permanent fix to supply manipulation risks. Posting on the social media platform X, she explained that after migration, LEASH v2 will have a fixed, hard-capped supply of 107,000, exactly as originally designed. No new rebasing, no hidden minting functions. This is a clean slate contract. This means token holders no longer need to worry about accidental inflations or hidden vulnerabilities undermining the scarcity and value of LEASH.<\/p>\n

The issue stemmed from a rebase function left in the original contract by a departed developer five years ago, which went unnoticed until the recent glitch. The team documented those mechanics and presented the community with <\/a>a DAO-led route forward of migrating to a fixed-supply, audited LEASH v2 using the last trusted snapshot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That plan also outlines the burn-to-claim\u00a0 model, where holders destroy the old token to claim the new one. After moving to a fully immutable and audited contract, the team has effectively sealed off this risk, turning LEASH v2 into a more trustworthy representation of what the token was always intended to be.<\/p>\n

According to the Shiba Inu blog website<\/a>, the v2 total supply is pre\u2011minted at deployment and held by a multisig. The migrator will not mint new LEASH v2 tokens but will move pre\u2011minted tokens out of the multisig as users migrate from LEASH v1.<\/p>\n

What Does This Mean For Holders?<\/h2>\n

LEASH v2 affects only LEASH. Other tokens (SHIB and BONE) within the Shiba Inu ecosystem<\/a> remain untouched. If the migration proceeds smoothly, with audits concluded, exchanges aligned, and burn-to-claim portals functioning, LEASH v2 will become a straightforward case of resetting the clock.<\/p>\n

A prominent Shibarium insights account on X pointed out that the team<\/a> is working with an external auditor. The Shiba Inu team<\/a> is also in talks with crypto exchanges to support the swap and will stage a public testnet and bug bounty before full release. The rollout has been largely welcomed across the Shiba Inu community, with supportive reactions surfacing on multiple social platforms. <\/p>\n

At the time of writing, LEASH is trading at $52.40, down by 8% in the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n
