SHIB on Solana: Two Tickers, One Genuine Token

Shiba Inu (SHIB) is now trading on Solana, but users face confusion due to multiple tokens using the same ticker, including a memecoin with more holders. The canonical SHIB token has a specific mint address, and users must verify this to avoid mistakenly trading the wrong token. The Solana version represents a small fraction of the total SHIB supply.
