CoinMarketCap finally reaches out to SHIB devs to fix ‘wormhole’ contract issues

ambcrypto.com:

It’s been quite the drama for a certain cryptocurrency over the past couple of days – Shiba Inu (SHIB) – with its vocal community part of an intense commotion on Twitter. In fact, SHIB’s community was in an online spat with CoinMarketCap and, it didn’t hold back.

As one may know, SHIB incorporates only the Ethereum chain. However, the most visited cryptocurrency-related website dished three fake SHIB contract addresses on its website, fueling a ruckus.

To make things worse, CMC allegedly disregarded the claims at first. Now that the issue has gained traction, however, the website wants to rebuild its bridges.

Developers behind popular meme token Shiba Inu (SHIB) issued a statement alleging that CoinMarketCap listed three fake SHIB contract addresses. These belonged to Binance Smart Chain (BNB), Solana (SOL), and Terra Luna (LUNA) blockchains.

As SHIB’s official representatives reported, the aforementioned addresses were designed to sell Shiba Inu. However, the contracts listed on the tracker were fake. At least, that’s what the SHIB executives claimed. It was in light of the same that the network urged CMC to take them down.

CoinMarketCap, however, didn’t hold back in its own response. It issued a reply just hours later on Twitter. Not so surprisingly, CMC said otherwise.

As per the latter’s response, contract addresses listed on the page werewormhole addresses designed to facilitate cross-chain transactions. The team at CoinMarketCap also invited the Shiba Inu team to reach out through “the official channels” linking to a support page.

Well, surprisingly, it was the website that reached out to the meme coin’s developers in an effort to resolve recent issues related to “wormhole” addresses.
