The SHIB community is stirring up a "no-confidence" storm! Anonymous leader Shytoshi Kusama is facing doubts, and the Shiba Inu DAO election is imminent, leading to a power shift.

The Shiba Inu (SHIB) community is experiencing a rare governance storm. As the project is about to hold its first Leadership Elections, SHIB holders represented by WoofSwap are publicly questioning the leadership abilities and accountability of the anonymous leader Shytoshi Kusama, demanding a change in core leadership. The criticism focuses on strategic ambiguity, communication failures, and a malfunctioning community feedback mechanism, while also raising concerns about the benefits being funneled to related projects such as SHY and POE. This article will analyze the roots of this community Crisis of Confidence and elaborate on the DAO Election Process concerning the transformation of SHIB's ecological governance.

▶ Three Major Accusations from the Community: Lack of Capability, Accountability Vacuum, Project Favoritism

• Crisis of Confidence: Core Stakeholders like WoofSwap have raised questions on platform X, directly pointing out that Kusama "lacks strategic capability and communication skills," and is unable to effectively respond to the community. Their core demand is: "Leaders don't have to be saints, but must be Competent. We don't need incompetent presidents."
• Transparency Issues: The community criticizes the current leadership (including Kusama) for a Lack of Accountability. Users expose the existence of a "double standard": celebrating failed tokens and dApps while ignoring contributors that can create long-term value for the ecosystem.
• Allegations of Favoritism: WoofSwap accuses Kusama and technical lead Kaal Dhairya of favoritism within the Shibarium ecosystem, such as promoting the POE token while neglecting other compliant projects. The community questions whether related projects like SHY and POE are truly serving the ecosystem or are merely "self-serving distractions."

▶ Return to Original Intent: Fulfill Promises, Reclaim Vision

• Unfulfilled Promises: Well-known community leader Shiba Germany calls on the Kusama team to fulfill the early blueprint, including bringing in a billion users, activating 100 Validators, and restarting support for projects like BONE.
• Vision Inheritance: "Stick to Ryoshi’s Vision!" — This appeal reflects the community's strong nostalgia for the founding ideals of the project (decentralization, community autonomy), contrasting sharply with the current governance situation.

Facing pressure, Kusama announced the launch of the election process this Tuesday, which will produce an Interim President and form the foundational DAO Councils. The new leadership will oversee the SHIB's multi-billion dollar Token Economy and lead ecological administration and technological reforms.

• Candidacy: Open to all community members.
• Election Process（竞选流程）：

1. The candidate submits detailed information.
2. Review and select the top ten.
3. The top ten will conduct a Live Debate to elaborate on their vision.
4. The community votes to determine the top three.
5. The ultimate vote after one week will select the winner.

• Voting Rules (Voting Mechanism): Adopts Token-based Voting — holders of SHIB, BONE, TREAT, or LEASH can participate (1 token = 1 vote).
• Inauguration Requirements: The winner must pass the KYC Check and sign the NDA.

Conclusion: Can the MEME Giant at the Governance Crossroads Reshape Community Trust through Elections?

The SHIB community has publicly demanded a leadership change, exposing the Governance Bottleneck encountered by the MEME project after its scale expansion. The lack of accountability of anonymous leaders and the Crisis of Confidence in ecological development have become the focal points of contradiction. The upcoming DAO election is a crucial step for SHIB towards Decentralized Governance and a fight to rebuild trust within the community. Whether the election can produce leaders with true strategic vision and execution capability, and effectively check the power of the core team, will determine if this MEME giant, celebrating its fifth anniversary, can navigate through the governance storm and achieve sustainable growth in ecological value. The market is closely watching this power transition experiment, which concerns the success or failure of the Token Governance Model.

Analyst's Viewpoint: The SHIB community governance crisis highlights the pain points of the transformation of MEME projects. Token-weighted elections are a double-edged sword—empowering holders while testing the efficiency of decentralized decision-making. The election results will become a watershed moment for the reevaluation of the SHIB ecosystem's value.
