The Shiba Inu ecosystem is set to ignite with the impending launch of liquid staking on the Shibarium network. Announced on August 15 by Shiba Inu marketing lead Lucie, the feature, facilitated by K9 Finance, is slated for a September 18 debut.
This development marks a significant stride for Shibarium, the layer-2 solution designed to enhance the Shiba Inu ecosystem’s scalability and efficiency. Liquid staking, a mechanism that allows users to stake their assets while retaining liquidity, is poised to revolutionize the platform.
Through K9 Finance, users will be able to stake their BONE tokens and receive knBONE, a liquid staking derivative. This innovative approach enables holders to participate in staking rewards while maintaining the ability to trade or utilize their assets in other DeFi applications.
A phased approach has been adopted for the liquid staking rollout. The initial phase focused on testing with large-scale token holders. Building on the success of this trial, K9 Finance has now opened the testnet to the public, inviting a wider user base to experience the platform.
The September 18 launch signifies the commencement of the ‘Boro’ phase, a crucial step in the overall roadmap. Named after the extinct Borophaginae, known for their bone-crushing prowess, the phase marks the full-scale deployment of K9 Finance’s core liquid staking product on Shibarium.

The ultimate goal, as outlined in the project’s roadmap, is to achieve the ‘Caninae’ phase in Q4 2024. This stage will introduce a V2 of the platform, symbolizing a fully decentralized liquid staking derivative product.
With the Shiba Inu community eagerly anticipating this development, the integration of liquid staking is expected to bolster Shibarium’s position in the competitive blockchain landscape. As the project progresses, it will be essential to monitor its impact on the broader cryptocurrency market and its potential to attract new users to the Shiba Inu ecosystem.
