#ShibaInu Coin ($SHIB ) has become a digital asset that has attracted great attention in the cryptocurrency world in recent years. Created by an anonymous group in 2020, SHIB is an ERC-20 token built on the #Ethereum blockchain. This cryptocurrency, named after the Japanese dog breed Shiba Inu, initially emerged as a rival to #dogecoin ( $DOGE ) and quickly gained popularity.

One of the most notable features of SHIB was that the token supply was incredibly high to begin with. A total of one quadrillion SHIB tokens were created, 50% of which were sent to Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin. Buterin donated a large portion of these tokens to charity and burned the rest, meaning he took them out of circulation. This event led to significant fluctuations in SHIB's market value.

While cryptocurrencies such as #Bitcoin ( $BTC ) and Ethereum ( $ETH ) are often considered stores of value and the backbone of decentralized finance #DeFi applications, SHIB stands out for its more community-focused projects and social media influence. The decentralized exchange (DEX) called ShibaSwap and other tokens such as LEASH and BONE added to SHIB's ecosystem expand the usage areas of this cryptocurrency.

Recently, SHIB's developer team introduced a layer-2 solution called Shibarium. This solution aims to reduce transaction costs and increase transaction speed on the Ethereum network. Shiba Inu Coin continues to exist in the crypto world with remarkable projects and continues to attract the attention of investors.
