Shiba Inu Developers Settle Dispute with Coinmarketcap, to Fix ‘Wormhole’ Addresses’
The Shiba Inu developers have finally reached an agreement with Coinmarketcap – the world’s most-referenced crypto price-tracking website. The duo has now agreed to work together to fix the recent issues of “wormhole” addresses.
The Shiba – CoinMarketCap Fallout
Earlier in the week, members of the Shiba Army alerted CoinMarketCap about three wormholes Shibu Inu contract addresses on their official platform.
At this time we ask the #ShibArmy to act calm, and professional. Our team has already submitted inquiries for the 3 erroneous contracts, in regards to $SHIB at @CoinMarketCap.We are awaiting a response, and want nothing more than to come to a conclusion for the community.The official Shiba Inu Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) account had also tweeted about the CoinMarketCap addresses, saying that they were unsafe to use. Many believed these to be fake smart contracts on Binance Smart Chain, Terra, and Solana.— Shib (@Shibtoken) January 14, 2022
CoinMarketCap took to Twitter to clarify that Wormhole addresses for SHIB facilitate cross-chain transactions. However, Shiba Inu accused the CoinMarketCap team of being unresponsive.
With this, the Shiba Army claimed that the move created FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) about SHIB and negatively affected the coins’ price. Furthermore, some community members accused the data tracker of working against Shiba Inu.
Later, Shiba Inu reported that both teams were now working together and discussing to ensure the wormhole contracts were not from malicious sources.
