K9 Finance is a liquid staking derivative (LSD) platform specifically designed for the Shibarium blockchain. It serves as a foundational component of decentralized finance (DeFi) within the Shibarium ecosystem. As an official Shibarium validator, K9 Finance rewards its $KNINE token holders with $BONE tokens earned from validating blocks. The project is governed by the K9 DAO, also known as the Roundtable of Dogs, which oversees the K9 treasury and makes key decisions to promote DeFi adoption on Shibarium.
