What Is ShibaSwap Bury Dig, and How Do These Features Work?
ShibaSwap is the decentralized exchange of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, launched in 2021. On an exchange like this, users swap tokens straight from their own wallets, and pools of tokens supplied by other users make those trades possible.
It’s where SHIB, LEASH, and BONE holders put their tokens-to work, a role that goes back to the origins of the Shiba Inu ecosystem.
ShibaSwap Bury Dig covers its two main earning tools. Bury is staking: a token gets locked in return for rewards, and a receipt token proves the position.
Dig is liquidity provision: a pair of tokens goes into a pool that powers trades, and the depositor earns a share of the fees. Each tool pays differently and carries its own risks, as the sections below show.
Bury is ShibaSwap's term for staking. A locked token returns a receipt in exchange: SHIB becomes xSHIB, LEASH becomes xLEASH, and BONE becomes tBONE.
That receipt represents the staked position and converts back automatically once unstaked. Per ShibaSwap's own Bury documentation, no fixed lock-up period applies.
Dig is ShibaSwap's liquidity side. Two tokens get deposited as a pair, such as SHIB and ETH, into a shared pool other traders swap against.
An SSLP token comes back in return, short for ShibaSwap Liquidity Provider, representing a share of that pool, as the official ShibaSwap guide describes. SSLP can then move into Woof, ShibaSwap's yield farming feature, adding BONE on top of regular trading fees.
SHIB, LEASH, and BONE can all be staked in Bury. For Dig, each one pairs with ETH, which gives three pools: SHIB-ETH, LEASH-ETH, and BONE-ETH.
The three tokens couldn’t be more different. LEASH has a tiny supply of just over 107,000 tokens, which makes it the scarcest of the group. SHIB sits at the opposite end, with a supply in the hundreds of trillions that the SHIB burn mechanism is meant to shrink over time. BONE is the governance token, so its holders can vote on proposals.
Supply matters because it shapes how a token’s price reacts to demand. A staker in a small-supply token like LEASH faces very different swings from one holding SHIB.
Bury rewards are drawn from new BONE minted per block. A small cut, 0.05%, of certain swap fees on non-major tokens also converts into LEASH and routes to the LEASH staking pool specifically.
Dig rewards work differently: SSLP holders earn a share of trading fees from their pool, and Woof deposits add BONE on top.
| Feature | Bury | Dig |
| What's deposited | One token (SHIB, LEASH, BONE) | A pair (e.g., SHIB-ETH) |
| Receipt token | xSHIB / xLEASH / tBONE | SSLP |
| Main reward source | BONE emission per block | Trading fees, plus BONE via Woof |
| Exposure | Single-token price risk | Two-asset exposure, plus impermanent loss |
Bury stays close to simple staking. Dig carries the added risk that comes with any two-sided pool.
A short sequence covers both:
Connect a supported wallet to ShibaSwap's official site.
Pick Bury for a single token, or Dig for a pair.
Approve the token contract, then confirm the transaction.
For Dig, send the resulting SSLP into Woof for added rewards.
Standard swap fees apply across every pool, with a portion flowing back to liquidity providers. BONE doubles as ShibaSwap's governance token, tying fee and reward decisions to the same Shiba Inu decentralization model that runs the wider ecosystem.
Staked tokens aren’t tied to a fixed lock-up, so they can be taken out when needed. Part of the BONE rewards may still be held back under the vesting rules. Gas fees on Ethereum come with every transaction, and a small position pays the same as a big one.
Impermanent loss: a Dig position can lose value when the two paired tokens drift apart in price, even if both keep trading.
Smart contract risk: tokens sitting in any staking or liquidity contract can be lost to a bug or an exploit.
Price swings: SHIB, LEASH, and BONE are all volatile, so BONE rewards can lose value before they’re claimed.
Wallet safety: one careless approval can drain a wallet, which is why good wallet security habits matter as much as the protocol itself.
Scams are a separate problem. Fake airdrops and phishing links keep targeting SHIB holders, and security warnings for SHIB holders have come out repeatedly. A safe protocol doesn’t protect a user who signs the wrong transaction.
ShibaSwap’s own interface shows live Bury and Dig balances, including the BONE earned so far and the current value of any SSLP tokens.
That dashboard is the most reliable place to confirm a real position, more so than a third-party tracker, which can lag or misread a wallet.
Two numbers deserve a closer look. One is the share of rewards still locked, and the other is how a Dig position has moved against simply holding both tokens. Before committing larger amounts, it also helps to see how the ShibaSwap DEX fits into the wider Shiba Inu ecosystem.
ShibaSwap Bury Dig offers two distinct paths within the wider Shiba Inu ecosystem: straightforward staking through Bury and liquidity provision with added risk through Dig. Flexible unstaking and withdrawal stand out, with no fixed lock-up on either side.
