Trader sentiment was likely buoyed as developers said the deployer contract for bone tokens was fully renounced – which boosted its security. Trading volumes for the tokens rose over $3 million compared to Monday.

In crypto circles, renouncing a smart contract means that the contract's creator will no longer have control over it – giving investors a sense of security as the contract can no longer be changed or updated, and is hence saved from possible manipulation by the contract creator.

Bone is part of a trio of tokens – others being treat (TREAT) and leash (LEASH) – that are used to pay fees and vote on governance matters on the Shibarium blockchain, which was released by Shiba developers in August.

Meanwhile, calcium (CAL), a dummy token issued for the purpose of renouncing bone, has quickly found an audience among activist investors. CAL reached a $10 million market capitalization before receding 50% since peak prices on Monday.
