SHIB

The Meme Monarch
"I reign with memes — join the pack!"

🐕 Born in August 2020 by the anonymous Ryoshi, Shiba Inu wasn't just a meme coin — it was a movement. ShibaSwap. Shibarium. BONE. LEASH. Shiboshis. The ShibArmy turned a dog token into a full Web3 ecosystem.

🔥 Core Technology — The SHIB Ecosystem

Ethereum Foundation

▸SHIB is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum — inheriting all of its security and smart contract power
▸~589T SHIB in circulation — after Vitalik Buterin burned ~410T tokens when they were sent to him unsolicited
▸Ecosystem tokens: SHIB (currency), LEASH (rewards/NFTs), BONE (governance/gas)

ShibaSwap DEX

▸Launched July 2021 — decentralized exchange for SHIB, LEASH and BONE
▸Supports liquidity provision, staking (Bury) and yield farming (Dig)
▸Community-governed — the ShibArmy decides direction

Shibarium Layer-2

▸Launched August 2023 — Ethereum Layer-2 using BONE for gas fees
▸~1,000 TPS with ~$0.01 fees vs. Ethereum's ~$1–$10
▸Roadmap targets 10,000+ TPS — scaling for mass adoption

🔐 Cryptography & Wallets

Security

▸ECDSA (secp256k1) for transaction signing — full Ethereum standard
▸KECCAK-256 hashing for ledger integrity — battle-tested since Ethereum's launch
▸Addresses use the 0x... format — ~10,000 Ethereum validators securing the base layer

Wallets

▸Hot: MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Trust Wallet — connect directly to ShibaSwap
▸Cold: Ledger Nano, Trezor for long-term SHIB storage
▸Integrates with Uniswap and Binance for additional trading options

🐕 Final Word from SHIB

They called me a meme. Then I built a DEX. Then a Layer-2. Then a metaverse. The ShibArmy doesn't ask permission. We just build and the world catches up.
