What is Shiba Inu (SHIB)?

Shiba Inu is a cryptocurrency that uses the Ethereum blockchain, which means that the crypto uses the advantages and protection of Ethereum. The coin is an ERC-20 token and is a memecoin that, like Dogecoin, is based on the Japanese dog breed, Shiba Inu. When the ERC-20 token was launched in 2020, it quickly managed to build a strong community, mainly due to successful marketing campaigns on X (formerly Twitter). This has led to Shiba Inu becoming the second biggest meme coin after Dogecoin to firmly establish itself in the top 100 in terms of market capitalization.

How does Shiba Inu work?

Shiba Inu works on the Ethereum blockchain, which allows them to use smart contracts and protocols built on this chain, including DeFi platforms and DEXs (decentralized exchanges). This allows you to trade the Shiba Inu token, SHIB, on the Ethereum network.

Although Shiba Inu (SHIB) was originally launched as a meme coin, the developers have significantly expanded the Shiba Inu protocol in recent years with new functionalities and possibilities. As a result, Shiba Inu has grown into a real ecosystem.

Shiba Inu ecosystem

1. SHIB token: SHIB can be called the native token within the ecosystem. Users of the network can carry out transactions with the token. In addition, SHIB is also by far the token with the highest market capitalization within the ecosystem and has a very large supply. You can also stake SHIB on ShibaSwap (their own DEX) in exchange for a reward, paid out in SHIB tokens or other tokens within the ecosystem.

2. LEASH token: Another token within the ecosystem is LEASH. This token has a much smaller supply, making it considerably scarcer than SHIB. LEASH can be used in DeFi projects to stake or as a liquidity provider. Within the community, LEASH is seen as a premium token. Fun fact: LEASH was originally developed to track the price of Dogecoin (1 LEASH ≈ 1,000 DOGE), but this price peg was later abandoned. The value of LEASH is now completely independent of the DOGE rate and is determined by supply and demand.

3. BONE token: The third token within the ecosystem is BONE. Owners of this token can vote on important decisions within the network. That is why BONE is called a governance token.

4. ShibaSwap: ShibaSwap is Shiba Inu's DeFi platform. Within this platform, users can stake SHIB and LEASH tokens or provide liquidity. This secures the network and allows users to participate in liquidity pools and yield farming in exchange for rewards paid out in tokens.

5. Shibarium: Perhaps the most important addition to the ecosystem is Shibarium. This is a layer-2 solution designed to make transactions within the Shiba Inu network faster and cheaper. In practice, thanks to this update, they have become less dependent of the Ethereum mainnet, which benefits speed and lowers transaction costs.

In addition, Shibarium has enabled developers to build protocols within the ecosystem, including dApps, games and NFT projects.

The most famous example of Shiba Inu NFTs is the Shiboshis collection. This is a collection of 10,000 unique NFTs, all Shiba Inus (the dog breed), each with their own characteristics. In the most famous game within the Shiba Inu ecosystem, Shiba Eternity, these NFTs can be used in-game.

Who are the founders of Shiba Inu?

Shiba Inu was launched in 2020 by a person or group using the pseudonym 'Ryoshi' as a true meme coin. This means that, as with Bitcoin, it is still unknown who actually developed Shiba Inu. Shiba Inu was inspired by the success of Dogecoin, which also uses a Shiba Inu (a Japanese dog) as its symbol. During the promotion of SHIB, the token was called the 'Dogecoin Killer'.

Shiba Inu's vision

Shiba Inu was once launched as a simple memecoin that would compete with Dogecoin, but since its launch in 2020, Shiba Inu has grown into an independent ecosystem with a large community and a strong team of developers.

With the introduction of Shibarium, new tokens and ShibaSwap and a large community, Shiba Inu has become a serious project within the crypto sector offering a cheaper and more scalable alternative to Ethereum.
