Shiba Inu (SHIB) lead developer Shytoshi Kusama has provided a crucial update on the future of the meme coin ecosystem. In a detailed post on X, Kusama outlined his vision for the protocol. Kusama emphasized Shiba Inu founder Ryoshi’s core vision of creating a highly functional decentralized ecosystem. To advance these plans, Kusama disclosed that they are cementing partnerships with industry leaders. This aligns with the ongoing effort to enhance the ecosystem’s functionality and reach.
Core Ecosystem Tokens And Future Use Cases
Kusama reminded the community about the fundamental uses of its core ecosystem tokens, including SHIB, LEASH, and BONE. Additionally, he hinted at an important future use case for TREAT, a token yet to be released. According to Kusama, TREAT will enable Shiba Inu members to access all the advanced features of the ecosystem. This new token will play a pivotal role in the ecosystem’s evolution, further enriching user experience and engagement.

In line with their long-term plans, Kusama announced that he would eventually step away from the project’s limelight. When that time comes, the ecosystem will operate autonomously. This transition reflects a commitment to true decentralization, allowing the community to steer the project’s future. Kusama mentioned that they would elaborate on many of these visions at upcoming events later this year, including SHIBACON 2024 in Thailand.

Following weeks of bearish price trends, Kusama’s update and broader market trends have sparked a recovery in Shiba Inu’s price. Currently, the meme coin is trading at $0.00001651, marking a 2.27% increase in the past 24 hours.
