Shiba Inu Team Unveils Transformative Privacy Upgrade for Shibarium & BONE

2025/11/28 18:40
  • Zama and the Kohaku upgrade enable Shibarium to offer private, quantum-resistant smart contracts.
  • The TokenPlay AI deal turns SHIB into a real in-app currency.

According to Zama’s updated roadmap, the public testnet is now live on Sepolia, and the team is aiming to launch on Ethereum in the fourth quarter. After that, they’re looking to roll out support for other EVM chains in the first half of 2026, followed by an expansion to Solana’s mainnet in the second half of the year.

Against this backdrop, Shiba Inu ecosystem team member Lucie wrote on X that Zama’s technology will power a Shibarium privacy upgrade. She said that before the end of the second quarter of 2026, Shibarium and Bone could gain full on-chain privacy and confidential smart contracts through Zama’s fully homomorphic encryption stack. If the timeline holds, Shibarium would align its privacy rollout with Zama’s broader multi-chain expansion.

Kohaku Upgrade Lays the Crypto Foundations for Shibarium

Meanwhile, the Kohaku upgrade, unveiled by Vitalik Buterin at Devcon 2025, as noted in our earlier post, introduces a modular privacy framework for Ethereum that Shibarium can inherit. It brings quantum-resistant signatures based on Dilithium schemes and a new stealth-address standard so wallets can receive funds without exposing public identity. Ethereum researchers argue this shift is needed before quantum computers can break today’s ECDSA signatures, which they tentatively place around 2028.

Kohaku also changes Shibarium’s economics once it plugs into the framework. Privacy transactions that rely on zero-knowledge proofs use far more gas than standard transfers, with benchmarks suggesting workloads equivalent to roughly 15–20 normal token moves. On Shibarium, that extra computation is paid in BONE, which turns the token into fuel for heavy cryptographic processing instead of only serving as a basic gas asset.

The higher gas load then feeds into Shibarium’s burn contracts, where accumulated BONE is swapped for SHIB and permanently removed from circulation, potentially accelerating the burn cycle if private volume grows.

Regulatory design is part of Kohaku as well. The framework bundles “Privacy Pools”, which let users prove their funds are not tied to sanctioned or hacked wallets without disclosing full transaction histories. For Shibarium, adopting these tools would offer what the Shib team calls “clean privacy,” aimed at institutions that need confidentiality but must follow anti-money-laundering rules.

Shibarium’s sidechain architecture cannot rely on automatic inheritance. Developers must manually adapt the privacy SDK to Heimdall and Bor nodes and optimize wallets and validators for data-heavy private blocks.

Shiba Token’s TokenPlay AI Deal Adds Utility for SHIB

Moreover, Shiba Token announced a new partnership with TokenPlay AI. The deal, as highlighted in our previous article, connects SHIB to a “token OS” that can run Shiba-themed apps inside chat, gaming, and interactive dashboards.

Through this integration, SHIB can move from passive holding to active in-app use. Users will be able to earn and spend SHIB inside the first Shiba-branded miniapp and then cycle it through repeat gameplay and rewards.

Slate Milk Raises $23 Million Series B Round To Bolster Protein Drink’s Rapid Growth

Slate Milk Raises $23 Million Series B Round To Bolster Protein Drink’s Rapid Growth

The post Slate Milk Raises $23 Million Series B Round To Bolster Protein Drink’s Rapid Growth appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Slate Classic Chocolate milk shake Slate A new slate of functional beverages is about to dominate the ready-to-drink shelf, ushering in a more modern era of easily incorporating more protein in our diets. Today, Slate Milk cofounders Manny Lubin and Josh Belinsky reveal the brand has raised a $23 million Series B funding round. Led by Foundership, a new fund by Yasso frozen greek yogurt cofounders Drew Harrington and Amanda Klane, the money will allow Slate to continue its momentum towards ubiquity as it hits 100,000 points of distribution across 20,000 stores nationwide by the end of 2025. Slate also reveals that it is rolling out several line extensions including a 20 gram protein Strawberry milk at Sprouts Farmers Market, a 30 gram protein Cookies & Cream milk at Target, and a 30 gram protein Salted Caramel flavor at Walmart and Albertsons banner stores. New “Ultra” 42 gram protein options in Chocolate, Vanilla and Salted Caramel will also be available in retailers across the country. “Stores where we may have just had our ready-to-drink lattes, now we’re adding our shakes, and vice versa. We’re adding new partners and executing deeper with our existing partners,” Lubin tells me. The impressive growth is due to Slate’s early entry into the high-protein product space slightly before it caught mainstream attention–ready to execute immediately once consumers craved it most. Slate’s macronutrient ratios are practically unbeatable, largely due to the utilization of ultra-filtered milk. It’s a protein drink that writes a new script about who protein drinks are for. “We’re not sons of dairy farmers. We had no milk history,” Lubin says “We’re just a couple of dudes from the burbs of Boston who like chocolate milk.” Slate cofounder Manny Lubin Slate Another Clean Slate Slate’s brand has evolved significantly in just the past six…
