Shiba Inu Lead Hints at SHIB Metaverse Excitement and Major Developments Unveiling Soon

Shytoshi Kusama, the Shiba Inu lead developer, has hinted at upcoming developments following the recent collaboration with a government entity.

Kusama made this remark during a recent X Space titled “Trust Talks #4: Are Meme Coins Here to Stay?”

The popular self-custody crypto wallet Trust Wallet hosted the session. Alongside Shiba Inu’s official X handle, the event also featured other prominent figures from the crypto space, including the official Floki account. The session attracted 18,700 community members.

During the live session, the co-host asked Kusama how the Shiba Inu ecosystem leadership is working to keep the community engaged and maintain its enthusiasm, given the intense competition in the meme coin space.

How Shiba Inu Keeps the Spirit Alive and Ever-Burning

In response, Kusama emphasized that SHIB is fundamentally different from other meme projects. “SHIB is a different beast altogether,” he said.

He explained that within the Shiba Inu community, the focus has been on developing the best technology to empower the network state efficiently. He pointed out that SHIB declared its sovereignty a year ago.

Accordingly, the current goal is to build all the necessary technology for the network state to function. This is to ensure the community’s survival, not just for a cycle but for the next 100 years.

“By positioning ourselves as a state and creating the technology needed for that state to operate, we are able to build a powerful operating system,” he said.

Kusama further explained that this approach enables anyone, anywhere in the world, to transition from Web2 to Web3. Furthermore, he noted that this strategy is not only laying a foundation for the Shiba Inu community to thrive but also creating something that the world can use at large.

According to Kusama, this sets Shiba Inu apart in the meme coin space. He emphasized that it’s not just about the hype. Notably, the hype will naturally follow as long as the community continues to create something with real utility.

More Things On The Pipeline

Kusama went on to share that the team is continuously working on producing a variety of useful technologies and hosting events centered around TREAT, the newest token in the Shiba Inu ecosystem. The aim is to give TREAT to the community and offer real value.

In addition, he teased that the community could expect some exciting news about the SHIB Metaverse soon. Instead, he didn’t want to give away too much. Yet, Kusama hinted that this upcoming development would explain things in more detail.

“That is our focus, and it allows us to keep the community highly engaged,” he said.
