The Shiba Inu community has launched a new initiative aimed at expanding its ecosystem’s reach by petitioning Binance to list Bone ShibaSwap (BONE)—a foundational token within the broader Shiba Inu network. This effort underscores a strategic push to strengthen the interconnectivity and utility of the ecosystem’s core tokens: SHIB, BONE, and LEASH.
As the Shiba Inu ecosystem continues to grow, driven by its Layer 2 blockchain Shibarium, the role of BONE becomes increasingly critical. The petition, initiated by SHIB team member Mazrael Leashtenant on Change.org, calls on Binance—one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges—to recognize BONE’s importance in transaction processing, network security, and decentralized governance.
Why BONE Matters to the Shiba Inu Ecosystem
BONE serves as the gas token for Shibarium, enabling fast, secure, and low-cost transactions across its growing network of decentralized applications (dApps). With a capped supply of 250 million tokens, BONE is essential for paying gas fees, validating transactions, and supporting the decentralized infrastructure that powers platforms like ShibaSwap, P2E games, and privacy tools.

Lucie (@LucieSHIB), marketing lead for Shiba Inu, emphasized that BONE’s success directly benefits all SHIB holders. “Every Shib holder benefits from Bone’s success. Why? Because Bone powers Shibarium, and every transaction on Shibarium burns Shib,” she explained. This deflationary mechanism reduces the overall supply of SHIB over time, potentially increasing its long-term value.
By boosting adoption of BONE—and consequently driving more activity on Shibarium—the ecosystem creates a self-reinforcing cycle: more usage leads to more SHIB burns, which may enhance scarcity and investor confidence.
LEASH Holders Also Stand to Gain
While SHIB and BONE often dominate discussions, LEASH remains a vital yet underappreciated component of the ecosystem. Designed as a premium governance and rewards token, LEASH offers exclusive access to community initiatives and high-value staking opportunities.
Lucie highlighted that increased attention on BONE could elevate the entire ecosystem, bringing more visibility and utility to LEASH. “A successful Bone petition demonstrates to major exchanges, projects, and investors that the Shib ecosystem isn’t just about one token—it’s a thriving ecosystem where Shib burns, Leash exclusivity, and Bone utility all work together.”
This holistic growth model positions Shiba Inu not as a meme coin with fleeting popularity, but as a sustainable Web3 ecosystem built on real utility and community-driven innovation.
The Role of BONE in Governance and Security
Beyond transactional use, BONE plays a pivotal role in decentralized governance. Token holders can submit proposals and vote on key decisions shaping the future of Shibarium and its associated dApps. This ensures that development remains aligned with community interests rather than centralized control.
Additionally, BONE holders can delegate their tokens to validators who secure the network through proof-of-stake mechanisms. This delegation process enhances network integrity while offering staking rewards—a dual incentive model that encourages long-term holding and active participation.
The petition notes that BONE is already integrated into various sectors of the decentralized economy:
- DeFi platforms for lending, borrowing, and yield farming
- Play-to-Earn (P2E) games that reward user engagement with crypto earnings
- Privacy-focused dApps like Shibdentity and ShyMode, powered by homomorphic encryption
These applications showcase BONE’s versatility and its growing relevance in next-generation blockchain use cases.
Shibarium’s Growing Footprint
Shibarium has emerged as a key driver of Shiba Inu’s evolution beyond speculative trading. According to recent data, the Layer 2 blockchain now hosts over 1.8 million wallet addresses and has processed more than 540 million transactions—a testament to its scalability and user adoption.
Its low fees and high throughput make it an attractive environment for developers building decentralized exchanges (DEXs), NFT marketplaces, gaming platforms, and privacy tools. The integration of advanced cryptographic features further sets it apart in an increasingly competitive blockchain landscape.
Despite this progress, broader exchange listings remain crucial for mainstream accessibility. While BONE is currently available on platforms like MEXC, HTX, OKX, Crypto.com, and Gate.io, a listing on Binance would significantly amplify its exposure and liquidity.
Community Power: A Proven Strategy
The Shiba Inu community has a track record of leveraging collective action to achieve strategic milestones. In early 2021, a coordinated campaign led to SHIB’s listing on Coinbase Pro, a move that boosted both visibility and market capitalization.
Similarly, a large-scale petition in 2022 played a key role in SHIB’s eventual inclusion on Robinhood, expanding retail access across the United States. These successes demonstrate the community’s ability to influence major financial platforms through organized advocacy.

With over 75 signatures so far, the current petition is still gaining momentum. Lucie closed her announcement with a rallying call: “Let’s show the world the strength of our unity and make sure Shib, Bone, and Leash all reach their full potential. Together, we rise!”
