SHIB leader Shytoshi Kusama missing for months: AI project in seclusion until December next year

[Crypto World] Since September 15, SHIB ecosystem’s spiritual leader Shytoshi Kusama has gone completely silent on social media. It’s been a turbulent period—there was a reset issue with the LEASH token, and someone exploited a loophole in Shibarium’s bridge function.

Recently, the incident where the attacker of that bridge exploit refused the bounty has caused quite a stir. However, a contributor has already exposed the attacker’s digital footprint and handed it over to law enforcement for investigation. In his last public appearance, Shytoshi Kusama made it clear: just because he’s not speaking doesn’t mean he’s disappeared. He’s busy working on several AI projects, aiming to bring some real benefits to the SHIB ecosystem’s tokens.

Traditionally, every December he reviews the year’s achievements on social media, but this time is different. He’s pouring all his energy into a private AI project and plans to stay heads-down until December 2025 before reappearing. For now, the community can only wait and see if this period of silence will lead to something big.
