Shiba Inu (SHIB) is a cryptocurrency launched in 2020 as a "Dogecoin killer". It operates on Ethereum, with a massive token supply (1 quadrillion originally). Supported by a large community called "ShibArmy", SHIB is known for its volatility, speculative potential, and projects like Shibarium (its own blockchain) and the metaverse. Although inspired by a meme, it now aims to become a serious ecosystem in the crypto world.
