Shiba Inu’s (SHIB) Metaverse developers have blacklisted a user’s wallet, according to a statement posted by the team late Tuesday. The reason behind blacklisting the user is believed to be because the user had drawn a swastika using the project’s Metaverse land.

The team at wrote, “SHIB: The Metaverse will place the wallet identifying the [hate symbol] violation on a blacklist, meaning it will never be able to participate in any and all areas of the platform.”

All of this began with the Shiba Iu Metaverse land sales that were launched on April 12. The sale saw 36,000 people buying the 100,000 available plots. Fans of Shiba Inu and crypto enthusiasts who locked the ecosystem’s native token, LEASH, and Shiboshi non-fungible tokens were able to bid on square plots of land in the metaverse.

When a user bids on the land, the plot would change from gray to black.

Shiba Inu Discord residents noticed, on April 15, that one individual was bidding on land parcels that together formed a Swastika. Following the discovery, the community responded by purchasing plots of land around the symbol to change the shape to a “window”.

The developer team blacklisted the wallet that was linked to the original bids and also posted the project’s guidelines on Twitter (NYSE:) on April 19. The community seems to be in agreement with the team’s decision to blacklist the wallet.
