What is Shiba Inu?
Shiba Inu (SHIB) is an Ethereum-based altcoin . Fungible tokens like Shiba Inu are ERC-20 tokens, powered by Ethereum, therefore this tokens’ ecosystem supports projects, such as the NFT art incubator and the development of a decentralized exchange called Shibaswap.
Shibas’ Inu WoofPaper (a.k.a. White paper) starts with a simple question: What would happen if a cryptocurrency project was 100% run by its community? And we can all witness the answer to this question by following SHIB’s existence.
Shiba Inu is the second most known meme coin and is usually considered as an alternative to Dogecoin. In fact, it is also known as the “Dogecoin killer”.
What differs between Shiba Inu and Dogecoin?
Shiba Inu and Dogecoin have been the most popular meme coins of 2021. They both have huge support from the community, which is built around the tokens, and they both gained their popularity from the hyped-up social media posts. Oh, also, they’re the same breed of dog.
The difference lies in the supply amount. Dogecoin boosts its supply by incentivizing its miners with 10,000 Dogecoins every minute. Shiba has a maximum supply of quadrillion tokens. About 41% of Shiba Inu’s total supply was burned by Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum.
To the moon
