- To drive scarcity and boost long-term value, the Shiba Inu ecosystem has introduced a community contest designed to burn up to 10 billion SHIB per day.
- The initiative aligns with SHIB’s goal of reducing supply while maintaining an engaged community by incentivizing gameplay, competition, and token burns.
The Shiba Inu (SHIB) ecosystem has introduced a new initiative to increase the token’s burn rate significantly. Lucie, SHIB’s marketing lead, recently revealed Shiba Eternity Duel Mode, a new player-versus-player (PvP) feature within the Shiba Eternity collectible card game (CCG).
Announcing the update on X, Lucie stated, “SHIBA ETERNITY DUEL MODE – Battle for $SHIB & Burn!.” Although still in beta testing, the feature has already generated buzz in the SHIB Army, as it could dramatically boost the token’s scarcity.
How Duel Mode Works
The SHIB Duel Mode introduces a competitive and strategic way to engage players while simultaneously contributing to the Shiba Inu Burn initiative. To participate, players must enter the Duel Lobby and pay a 50,000 SHIB registration fee. In each match, two players battle in a player-versus-player (PvP) format, with the victor taking home 80,000 SHIB as a reward. However, beyond the thrill of competition, the mode incorporates a burn mechanism, ensuring that 10,000 SHIB is permanently removed from circulation after every match.
Lucie emphasized the game-changing potential of this initiative, stating that the objective is not just thousands of matches but millions played daily. She explained that if the game reaches 1 million matches per day, the burn rate would skyrocket to 10 billion SHIB daily, a milestone that could significantly enhance SHIB’s deflationary strategy. If successful, this strategy could have a massive impact on SHIB’s circulating supply, with projections estimating 300 billion SHIB burned per month and over 3.6 trillion SHIB burned annually.
SHIB Burn Rate Skyrockets
The introduction of Duel Mode follows a notable surge in SHIB burns. According to Shibburn, the official SHIB burn tracker, Shiba Inu’s burn rate spiked by 1306% on February 27, with 30.15 million tokens removed from circulation in just 24 hours. As of press time, SHIB’s circulating supply stands at 589 trillion tokens.

Additionally, 257.65 million SHIBs were burned in February alone, highlighting the growing community participation in burn initiatives. However, despite these positive burn developments, SHIB’s price has struggled amid broader crypto market turbulence. Over the past 24 hours, the token has dropped 9.85%, while its weekly decline stands at 15.57%, with SHIB currently trading at $0.00001314, a stark 84.74% below its all-time high of $0.00008845, recorded in 2021.
Looking ahead, a breakout above the $0.00001714 resistance level could signal renewed bullish momentum, potentially paving the way for a push toward $0.00002000. Despite recent price struggles, SHIB’s consistent burn efforts and long-term deflationary strategy will eventually drive higher valuations and greater market stability.
