Shytoshi Kusama, the pseudonymous lead developer of the dog-themed altcoin Shiba Inu, shares a cryptic tweet that sends positive vibes to the Shib Army amidst the current crypto crisis.

The Shiba Inu community, more popularly known as the Shib Army, has been waiting for any announcement related to Shibarium, the layer-2 solution of the Shiba Inu ecosystem. And while nothing is definite about the release date of the project, Kusama shared a cryptic tweet that excited the community.

"Initial design approved. Now I can double down," Kusama tweeted. "Let the debris show itself as the flow of kindness and truth washes over the world."

The tweet is vague and does not contain any detail that explicitly mentions any of the upcoming Shiba Inu projects.

The community immediately asked Kusama for more details about the tweet, with some asking if it was in any way related to Shibarium. Other SHIB holders speculated that the tweet might be a reference to the arena in Miami, which Kusama previously expressed interest in.

The "design" in the tweet could be the design the lead developer wants to put on the stadium. Others think it could be the design for the Shibarium documentation, which is scheduled to release ahead of the official launch of the layer-2 solution.

Despite the Shib Army's effort to get Kusama to spill the beans, it was in vain as the lead developer did not respond to any of the questions. Several other members of the community expressed gratitude towards Kusama and the team for the efforts they are putting into the ecosystem. While others said the tweet was a good sign and a positive update.

The cryptocurrency industry is currently in an unprecedented crisis brought on by the spectacular implosion of FTX. Over the past few days, several crypto entrepreneurs and developers expressed their disdain toward the FTX fiasco.

Kusama stayed silent and said that they would rather spend their time building and working on the ecosystem. They also changed their Twitter bio to "focused on Shibarium" to drive their point.

SHIB, the native token of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, was trading down 2.02 at $0.000009088 with a 24-hour volume of $149,658,537 as of 8:32 a.m. ET On Thursday based on the latest data from CoinMarketCap.
