Today marks the third anniversary of Shiba Inu (SHIB), signifying a remarkable transition from a casual token to a flourishing decentralized ecosystem. Since its establishment in August 2020, SHIB has reached considerable milestones, offering an impressive return on investment despite enduring market fluctuations.

From Rags to Riches

Conceived by the anonymous developer “Ryoshi,” Shiba Inu (SHIB) was created with the ambitious aim of becoming a rival to the original meme coin, Dogecoin (DOGE).

Ryoshi initiated the minting of an astounding one quadrillion SHIB tokens, out of which 50% were transferred to the wallet of Ethereum co-founder, Vitalik Buterin. In a significant move, Buterin burned 410 trillion tokens, effectively removing them from circulation. The remaining 50% was locked in a liquidity pool on the decentralized exchange, Uniswap.

For much of 2020 and early 2021, SHIB’s value remained relatively modest. However, it gained traction when it garnered attention from crypto enthusiasts and celebrities who promoted it extensively on social media. The token’s popularity was further bolstered by the surge of Dogecoin, which received notable endorsement from Tesla CEO, Elon Musk.

Creating a Competitive Ecosystem

Following its all-time high in May 2021 and subsequent market fluctuations, the Shiba Inu development team and community remained unwavering in their dedication to advancing and enlarging the ecosystem.

In July 2021, they unveiled ShibaSwap, a decentralized exchange that enables token exchanges, staking, and yield farming. The ecosystem also introduced Shiba Eternity, a card game themed around the SHIB token.

Currently, the Shiba Inu development team is actively engaged in multiple projects aimed at improving the ecosystem and fostering wider adoption. Some of these projects include: 

Shibarium

Shibarium is a layer-2 (L2) blockchain network that is being built on top of the Ethereum blockchain. It is designed to address the scalability and high gas fees that are currently plaguing the Ethereum network.

Additionally, Shibarium will use a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, which is more energy-efficient than the proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism that is used by Ethereum.

Shibaswap 2.0 

ShibaSwap 2.0 is an upcoming upgrade to the ShibaSwap decentralized exchange (DEX). It is designed to improve the functionality and usability of ShibaSwap, and to make it more attractive to users.

SHIB: The Metaverse

This is a virtual world being developed by the Shiba Inu team. It is designed to be a decentralized platform where users can create, explore, and interact with each other.

Shiba Inu’s Return on Investment

Shiba Inu has come a long way since its inception in 2020. It has grown from a meme coin with a small following to one of the most popular cryptocurrencies in the world. However, Shiba Inu still faces many challenges and uncertainties.

However, Shiba Inu also has some advantages that could help it maintain its relevance and popularity in crypto. The token has a loyal and active community that supports its development and growth. The community has been instrumental in promoting SHIB and driving its price up.

As of the time of this report, Shiba Inu is trading at $0.00000823. This signifies an astounding increase of 1,613,625.49% from its initial price of $0.00000000051 at the time of launch. Based on this rate of growth, an initial investment of $100 in SHIB at its inception would now be valued at approximately $1.62 million.
