1. What Is Shiba Inu?
Shiba Inu is a dog-themed meme cryptocurrency named after the Japanese Shiba Inu breed. It was created in 2020 by an anonymous developer known as Ryoshi to replace Dogecoin (DOGE) on the Ethereum blockchain. It aims to become a truly decentralized cryptocurrency backed by its community. The Shiba Inu ecosystem currently has three tokens: SHIB, BONE, and LEASH.

Shiba Inu's ecosystem products include Shibarium, a Layer 2 blockchain solution, Shib The Metaverse, a metaverse project, and Shibaswap, a decentralized exchange.
Shibarium: Shibarium is a cost-effective Layer 2 scaling solution to Ethereum's blockchain.
ShibaSwap: Launched on Shibarium and Puppynet, the goal of ShibaSwap is to provide a safe place for the community to trade tokens on a decentralized exchange, while offering special incentives and rewards to those who contribute to the ecosystem, such as liquidity providers.
