Shiba Inu’s (SHIB) developers are hammering away on a LEASH V2, a key upgrade that will migrate Doge Killer (LEASH) holders. This includes a triple-phased rollout. Starting off with a direct migration for holders, xLEASH & veLEASH from the Metaverse Lock will be unstaked & unlocked, then migrated.

Phase 2 includes Uniswap V3/ ShibaSwap V2 Liquidity Pools, for which an old on-chain liquidity snapshot will be issued. On top of that, Phase 2 aims to avoid trapped value by Proof Of Withdrawal or dedicated migrator. Then, Phase 3 takes care of the POS bridge users, including Shibarium Layer-2. According to the official statement, Shibarium native LEASH migrates 1:1.

This comes after a full audit completion, conducted by Hexens. The Web3-focused cyber security enterprise is famous for smart contract & decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol audits across the crypto sphere, including Polygon’s zkEVM. Additionally, the Web3 security auditors have worked across Solana (SOL), Cosmos Chains, BNB & Ethereum (ETH) POS.
