Shiba Inu secured a technical victory Tuesday as factual accuracy returned to its ticker on CoinGecko. The data aggregator removed an inaccurate security warning from the asset profile following a formal challenge by community veteran Mazrael. Members of the Shib Army initially flagged the alert for review after it appeared on the token page. CoinGecko corrected the record to ensure the profile reflects accurate status.
Key Points
- CoinGecko removed an inaccurate security warning from the Shiba Inu profile on Tuesday following a formal challenge by the Shib Army.
- The correction restored the assetās security score to 90.69%, scrubbing a misattributed $2.8 million "signer key compromise" alert.
- The retraction prevents artificial sell-offs and protects ecosystem liquidity from automated data ingestion errors.
The removed notice previously appeared at the top of the Shiba Inu page. It alleged a compromise of multiple signer keys associated with ShibaSwap and estimated a $2.8 million loss. The notice utilized an X post by TikkalaResearch from September 12. Internal reviews proved the aggregator’s notice misattributed a historical bridge event to the current ShibaSwap exchange infrastructure.
CoinGecko Updates Shiba Inu Page
Mazrael initiated a formal dialogue with CoinGecko to contest the details of the warning. He confirmed the successful update to The Shib Daily on Tuesday.
CoinGecko now displays standard metrics for Shiba Inu on its live page. The security score stands at 90.69%. No security notice appears on the current interface.

Direct engagement with the data provider ensured the inaccurate risk label vanished before inflicting lasting damage on investor sentiment. Factual corrections protect asset liquidity.
The resolution proves that professional outreach can correct inaccurate public records.
Historical Context of the Warning
Technical reports detail a specific security event tied to the Shibarium bridge in September 2025. Attackers utilized flash loans to gain control of 10 out of 12 network validators during that period. The breach enabled malicious state exits and resulted in the drainage of assets totaling between $2.4 million and $4.1 million. Core developer Kaal Dhairya confirmed the compromise resulted from vulnerabilities in AWS KMS or developer machines.

The Shiba Inu development team contained the damage by rotating keys and restricting bridge operations. The Plasma BONE bridge resumed full operations by October 14, 2025. TikkalaResearch’s September 2025 post referred specifically to this resolved Shibarium incident. CoinGeckoās warning pointed to that outdated reference without acknowledging the technical resolution. ShibaSwap operates as a separate decentralized exchange platform. CoinGecko continues to list the exchange separately with its own trading data.
Impact on Market Integrity
Factual retractions protect brand integrity for decentralized communities. Data aggregators provide the primary entry point for retail and institutional investors. Warning banners on these platforms often trigger automated sell-offs or prevent assets from appearing on retail brokerages. Inaccurate labels discourage greenhorn investors from participating in the ecosystem.
The resolution emphasizes the requirement for consistent communication between decentralized projects and centralized data hubs. Large-scale data providers remain prone to errors when automated systems ingest unofficial social media data. Factual accuracy returned to the public record once figures engaged with gatekeepers directly. The Shiba Inu page on CoinGecko now accurately reflects the current status of the protocol.
