SHIB's Kusama Unveils Shiba Inu Ecosystem Plan

Shiba Inu pseudonymous lead developer Shytoshi Kusama, the person behind the series of new initiatives scheduled to launch this year and in the coming years, dropped crucial details about the Shiba Inu ecosystem and what they plan and want to see happen.

With the presumed retirement of Ryoshi, the pseudonymous creator of the dog-themed altcoin Shiba Inu, the ball is now in the hands of Kusama and aside from the variety of exciting projects coming, the Shib Army would like to know where the community is headed. A few days ago, Kusama bared their vision of the community via the Shiba Inu Discord, as shared by former Shiba Inu growth member GossipShip on Twitter.

The lead developer was asked about the "other billion-dollar industry" Shiba Inu would move in after partnerships (Shiba speak for partnership) with food, fashion, metaverse and gaming. "Community, that's the final industry," Kusama answered.

"Combining it all so the community takes the reins and we get to go on a much-needed vacation as the community gets to build the foundations we've built. That's my humble opinion," they added.

Kusama, in their statement, simply highlighted Ryoshi's vision. In the Shiba Inu whitepaper or the Woofpaper, Ryoshi said, "We are an experiment in decentralized spontaneous community building" and defined success as dependent on the "shared strength of the individuals who make up a collective."

The creator also envisioned, "A community is held together by hundreds, if not thousands, of interconnected moments. By studying those drawn to our project, we realized that true strength doesn’t come from one of us alone; it comes from when we work together in harmony."

This is the essence of why the pseudonymous creator developed the Shiba Inu ecosystem, which Kusama has repeatedly said in their blog posts over the years. While the lead developer did not offer any details of that future, the community is set to welcome the Layer-2 solution Shibarium, "Shib: The Metaverse," Shiba Inu Games, SHI the stablecoin and TREAT, another community token, among others.

As of 5:49 a.m. ET on Sunday, SHIB, the native token of the Shiba Inu community, was trading down 2.99% at $0.00001194 with a 24-hour volume of $571,790,473, based on the latest data from CoinMarketCap.
