The developer team behind the popular memecoin Shiba Inu (SHIB) is in the hot seat on Crypto Twitter after allegations surfaced that the Shibarium Beta code was copied from another blockchain startup called Rinia.
Even though Shibarium Beta went live with the โpuppynetโ testnet last week, only the recently revealed technical details raised some eyebrows among the developer community. According to one high-ranking member of the SHIB Army, Steve, there are multiple reasons to think that the communityโs allegations are on point.

For instance, the Chain ID is the same as Riniaโs testnet genesis file. According to Steve, the same Chain ID with an existing blockchain would mix things up, as the mistake would send transactions to the first chain with the same ID.

In response to the fiery allegations, Shytoshi Kusama posted a message on Discord, asking the unhappy community members to leave the channels. Indeed, Shiba Inuโs chief coder gradually moved his part of the community to new Discord and Telegram channels.
