Shiba Inu Developers Share Insights in Exclusive Interview
The lead developers of memecoin Shiba Inu (SHIB), Shytoshi Kusama and Kaal Dhairya, recently sat down for their first-ever interview with Arabian Business, where they shared surprising details about their past.
The Beginning of a Partnership
Kusama’s journey into technology started when a rich individual he met while driving for Uber encouraged him to get into tech. He began trading crypto as a hobby, eventually joining the Shiba Inu chatroom and investing in the meme token. He later partnered with Dhairya to bring their vision to life.
Building a Trillion-Dollar Decentralized Entity
Ryoshi’s creation of SHIB aimed to rival Dogecoin. Kusama and Dhairya have ambitious plans for the coin, envisioning it as the world’s first trillion-dollar decentralized entity, bridging the gap between Web2 and Web3.
SHIB’s Unique Ethos
The developers emphasize a community-driven approach for SHIB, where holders and developers drive marketing efforts without the need for influencers. They see SHIB as a franchise with a strong ethos, empowering individuals to create unique projects within the ecosystem.
Future Leadership Transition
Despite SHIB’s popularity, the developers plan to hand over leadership to the community by year-end. They value their anonymity and believe it adds intrinsic worth beyond monetary gain.
