Shiba Inu Team Unveils Transformative Privacy Upgrade for Shibarium & BONE

2025/11/28 18:40
  • Zama and the Kohaku upgrade enable Shibarium to offer private, quantum-resistant smart contracts.
  • The TokenPlay AI deal turns SHIB into a real in-app currency.

According to Zama’s updated roadmap, the public testnet is now live on Sepolia, and the team is aiming to launch on Ethereum in the fourth quarter. After that, they’re looking to roll out support for other EVM chains in the first half of 2026, followed by an expansion to Solana’s mainnet in the second half of the year.

Against this backdrop, Shiba Inu ecosystem team member Lucie wrote on X that Zama’s technology will power a Shibarium privacy upgrade. She said that before the end of the second quarter of 2026, Shibarium and Bone could gain full on-chain privacy and confidential smart contracts through Zama’s fully homomorphic encryption stack. If the timeline holds, Shibarium would align its privacy rollout with Zama’s broader multi-chain expansion.

Kohaku Upgrade Lays the Crypto Foundations for Shibarium

Meanwhile, the Kohaku upgrade, unveiled by Vitalik Buterin at Devcon 2025, as noted in our earlier post, introduces a modular privacy framework for Ethereum that Shibarium can inherit. It brings quantum-resistant signatures based on Dilithium schemes and a new stealth-address standard so wallets can receive funds without exposing public identity. Ethereum researchers argue this shift is needed before quantum computers can break today’s ECDSA signatures, which they tentatively place around 2028.

Kohaku also changes Shibarium’s economics once it plugs into the framework. Privacy transactions that rely on zero-knowledge proofs use far more gas than standard transfers, with benchmarks suggesting workloads equivalent to roughly 15–20 normal token moves. On Shibarium, that extra computation is paid in BONE, which turns the token into fuel for heavy cryptographic processing instead of only serving as a basic gas asset.

The higher gas load then feeds into Shibarium’s burn contracts, where accumulated BONE is swapped for SHIB and permanently removed from circulation, potentially accelerating the burn cycle if private volume grows.

Regulatory design is part of Kohaku as well. The framework bundles “Privacy Pools”, which let users prove their funds are not tied to sanctioned or hacked wallets without disclosing full transaction histories. For Shibarium, adopting these tools would offer what the Shib team calls “clean privacy,” aimed at institutions that need confidentiality but must follow anti-money-laundering rules.

Shibarium’s sidechain architecture cannot rely on automatic inheritance. Developers must manually adapt the privacy SDK to Heimdall and Bor nodes and optimize wallets and validators for data-heavy private blocks.

Shiba Token’s TokenPlay AI Deal Adds Utility for SHIB

Moreover, Shiba Token announced a new partnership with TokenPlay AI. The deal, as highlighted in our previous article, connects SHIB to a “token OS” that can run Shiba-themed apps inside chat, gaming, and interactive dashboards.

Through this integration, SHIB can move from passive holding to active in-app use. Users will be able to earn and spend SHIB inside the first Shiba-branded miniapp and then cycle it through repeat gameplay and rewards.

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
