Shiba Inu (SHIB)

anchored·5BC1QG…FTqGSummary
Shiba Inu (SHIB) is an Ethereum-based ERC-20 meme token launched in August 2020 by an anonymous founder operating under the pseudonym 'Ryoshi.' It has grown into a broader ecosystem encompassing ShibaSwap (a decentralized exchange), Shibarium (an Ethereum Layer 2 network), and a multi-token system (SHIB, LEASH, BONE, TREAT). The project is ranked approximately #31 by market cap (~$3.8B as of May 2026) but carries material risks including both founders' anonymity, a history of infrastructure failures and a confirmed bridge hack, significant whale concentration, internal community fraud allegations against its current lead developer, and its fundamentally speculative meme-driven value proposition.
