Shiba Inu was once condemned as the "Dogecoin Killer" and started as a meme coin but has since grown into a broader ecosystem of cryptocurrencies. The project was created right on the cusp of 2020 by the anonymous developer Ryoshi, hoping to embody the enthusiasm everyone had for Dogecoin. Poking around the meme side of the internet, the dog breed Shiba Inu suddenly was popularized, and with some community and strategic marketing support, the first moments of utility for SHIB could not be far behind.

Namely, it reportedly has an ambitious roadmap to broaden its utility beyond the meme coin space itself. SHIB also introduced its decentralized exchange under the name ShibaSwap to cater to users for trading, staking, and providing liquidity, along with additional tokens on the ecosystem, such as LEASH and BONE, the latter being Yoshi's special gifts to the community. The two tokens offer quite some utilities, including design perks and staking rewards. Shiba Inu received grand publicity through its presence on social media, endorsements by celebrities, and temple appointments on major cryptocurrency exchanges. It is backed by a massive community lovingly called the "Shib Army" that has been instrumental in marketing the token and making it viable. Notwithstanding criticism about its potential to make its big appearance at all, SHIB might still better demonstrate what other projects might achieve by riding on mass hysteria to create something with real-life applications. Here stands Shiba Inu, not only as a cultural artifact but, in the end, as a technological experiment.
