🔥 Shiba Inu’s First-Ever Election: Power Shift or Controlled Democracy?

The Shiba Inu community is entering a historic moment as its first election kicks off to choose an interim president and DAO council leaders — a move set to shape its $7B token ecosystem.

On August 4, lead developer Shytoshi Kusama announced that the community will elect a chief visionary and councils for each DAO, calling it “the true birth of a network state.” But with excitement comes controversy — questions over leadership, transparency, and decentralization are heating up in the fifth “Shib Year.”

Community Reactions:

Woof Swap: Calls for leaders with real ability, not just visibility.

Shiba Germany: Criticizes unfulfilled promises like the lack of 100 validators and slow user growth.

Concerns over distractions (SHY, POE) and whether new leaders will stick to Ryoshi’s vision of transparency and shared responsibility.

Election Process:

1️⃣ Open Nominations – Anyone can apply.

2️⃣ Top 10 Debates – Live or recorded on multiple platforms.

3️⃣ Voting – Every SHIB, BONE, TREAT, and LEASH counts as one vote.

While the voting power favors those most invested, the Shiba Inu Foundation retains veto power — sparking debate over whether this is true decentralization or “controlled democracy.”

The interim president will manage the power transition, execute the Shib White Paper, lead the first DAO congress, and oversee the billion-token economy.
