Recently, the SHIB army has been telling the team to bring in more validators to Shibarium to increase the amount of BONE staked. Kusama responded to them in his latest Telegram message, stating that the safety of Shibarium is the team's major priority.

Furthermore, he said that they (Shiba Inu Team) have been using a special pattern to add validators to prevent attacks. In response to a user asking a question about Shibarium staking, Kusama said, Adding validators spontaneously, as it seems you expect, would put the chain in jeopardy, wouldn't you agree?"

Meanwhile, the Shibarium network currently has only 12 active validators, and they hold 26.16 million BONE tokens. This represents about $19.88 million of its current value.

Kusama Hints that Staking Rewards Will Increase Soon

Additionally, Kusama shared that the team has raised the staking rewards. He said, Rewards have been increased and forthcoming." According to his message, this change will be implemented soon. However, he didn't mention any details about the network's brand-new staking rewards.

Also, he responded to several questions regarding the Shibarium-powered SHIB burns. He stressed that the SHIB burning will occur after the network has gathered $25,000 worth of BONE but also stated that the network achieving this feat will take longer than expected.

He added, To remedy these things, we continue to work behind the scenes and onboard the right folks to scale and remain quiet as we do not want to reveal our complete strategy."

Shibarium-Driven SHIB Token Burns

Meanwhile, before Shibarium's main launch, the team clarified that the network would play a part in the SHIB burning mechanism. According to the team, it'll help reduce the amount of SHIB tokens in circulation as 70% of the main transaction fee would be used to destroy SHIB.

However, no formal platform keeps track of how many BONE tokens are collected to burn SHIB possibly. Interestingly, Shiba Inu's burn tracker, Shibburn, has developed an app that could provide an estimated number of transactions needed.

As of September 22, the tracker estimated that Shibarium needed 5.39 quadrillion transactions to gather $25,000 BONE tokens.The network must still handle 5.19 quadrillion transactions to reach the same goal of $25,000 in BONE to burn SHIB tokens.

Meanwhile, according to Shibariumscan data, Shibarium has processed 3.38 million transactions.
