This cutting-edge chain will utilize the expertise of their partner, Zama.ai, in the field of FHE. The primary goal of this new encryption chain is to address various challenges in the crypto world, such as privacy and trust, for Shiba Inu’s extensive community of millions of users and the growing number of individuals interested in cryptocurrency.
Additionally, the concept behind Shiba Inu was conceived by its founder, Ryoshi, who acknowledges the invaluable support from the community. Together, they have reshaped the crypto landscape, driven by a shared vision. The team has surpassed expectations, creating a robust ecosystem with cutting-edge core technology, spanning community, gaming, AI, metaverse, DeFi, self-sovereign identity, and encryption.
Lead Developer of Shiba Inu, Shytoshi Kusama, expresses excitement at the endorsement received from prominent VCs, angel investors, and brands, as they strive to realize their decentralized experiment.

The focus is on establishing Shibarium as the leading meme hub globally, while also strengthening security measures and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
