Shiba Inu just took a huge leap towards becoming fully decentralized with the launch of ShibDAO! This means the community, not a small group, is now in charge.
Community Takes the Reins
On May 29, 2025, the announcement was made: ShibDAO is officially live. This means holders of SHIB, BONE, LEASH, and TREAT tokens now have a direct say in the future of the Shiba Inu ecosystem. No more backroom deals – the power is in the community’s hands.
How ShibDAO Works
ShibDAO uses a few key features to make this happen:
- On-Chain Staking (Bury 2.0): Stake your tokens to get voting power. The more you stake, and the longer you stake it, the more influence you have. Currently, there are no staking rewards; it’s all about governance.
- Off-Chain Voting (Snapshot): Propose and vote on changes without paying any gas fees. Your voting power directly reflects your on-chain stake.
- Delegation System: Busy? Delegate your voting power to trusted community members. You can always take it back if needed.
- DAO Factory: Want to create your own mini-DAO within the Shiba Inu ecosystem? Go for it! You can build DAOs focused on games, art, DeFi, or anything else you can think of.
The Four DAOs
Currently, four DAOs are up and running:
- Shiba Inu DAO: Focuses on community events, charity, improving user experience, and funding public goods.
- Bone DAO: Handles Shibarium’s tech upgrades and improvements.
- Leash DAO: Acts as Shibarium’s court system, resolving disputes.
- Treat DAO:
Funds new projects and innovations within the Shiba Inu ecosystem.
The Future is Decentralized
The launch of ShibDAO and Bury 2.0 is just the beginning. The Shiba Inu ecosystem is well on its way to becoming a truly community-governed project. At the time of writing, SHIB was trading at $0.00001337.
