SHIB was released in a fixed amount (1 quadrillion tokens), and its "mining" in the traditional sense is impossible.
However, there are alternative ways to obtain SHIB, sometimes referred to as "mining" in a broad sense:
Indirect mining through platforms:
You can use services like UnMineable, where you mine other cryptocurrencies (for example, #Ethereum Classic or #Monero ) using graphics cards (GPU) or processors (CPU), and receive rewards in SHIB. These platforms automatically convert mined coins to SHIB and send them to your wallet.
To do this, you need:
Register a wallet that supports SHIB (for example, MetaMask).
Download a miner (for example, from UnMineable) and set it up with your wallet address.
Choose an algorithm and start the process.
Staking (an alternative to mining):
SHIB can be staked on platforms like ShibaSwap (the official decentralized exchange of the Shiba Inu ecosystem) or Binance. Staking allows you to lock tokens to support the network and earn rewards in the form of additional SHIB or other ecosystem tokens (for example, #bone
This is not mining in the traditional sense, but a way to earn SHIB passively.
Liquidity mining:
On ShibaSwap, you can provide liquidity in pools (for example, SHIB/ETH pairs) and earn rewards. This is also not classic mining, but participation in decentralized finance (DeFi).
Important:
If you want to try "mining" through UnMineable or similar services, make sure you have suitable equipment (at least a graphics card with 4-6 GB of memory for popular algorithms like Ethash).
Consider the costs of electricity and service fees — the yield can be low, especially on weak equipment.
$SHIB is a meme coin, its price is extremely volatile and depends on market sentiment rather than fundamental value.
