In a recent post, Shytoshi Kusama, lead developer of SHIB, introduced the Strategic Hub for Innovation and Blockchain (S.H.I.B.). His vision centers on creating a hub in a single U.S. city as a pilot, aiming for blockchain-powered transformation nationwide.
This proposal, intended for the future U.S. president and the broader global crypto community, outlines an ambitious roadmap with a projected cost of $1.3 billion to $2.35 billion over a span of 5-10 years. Notably, while developed by a SHIB leader, SHIB itself is not mentioned in the funding or development details.
Key Goals: Economic Growth and Technological Leadership
Kusama’s S.H.I.B. plan aims to harness blockchain to drive economic growth, create jobs, and strengthen national security. Furthermore, this initiative seeks to position the U.S. as a leader in emerging technologies by integrating blockchain into critical infrastructure.
This transformation would provide enhanced cybersecurity, secure communications, and improved digital infrastructure, thereby elevating the next generation of internet technology. Additionally, a critical aspect of the proposal is sustainability. Kusama emphasized that the hub would incorporate eco-friendly practices, aligning with U.S. environmental goals.
