Shiba Inu launches WHY Combinator to drive meme coin innovation

Source Cryptopolitan

Shytoshi Kusama, Shiba Inu’s lead developer, announced the launch of WHY Combinator, a decentralized and comprehensive technology stack. It aims to identify, incentivize, and empower projects within the meme coin ecosystem that answer the question, “Why does this product or startup need to exist?”

The WHY Combinator will be a guiding principle to the Shiba Inu community. It affects SHIB’s programming and shapes the type of founders and projects it will support. The WHY Combinator ensures founders have a sense of purpose before driving their innovation to be more impactful. 

The first cohort to benefit under the WHY combinator will show how the Shiba Inu network state’s “operating system” could be adopted and utilized. As a result, SHIB gains adoption and revenue from DAO.

Shiba Inu introduces the 36 “Chambers” of Tech to boost competition with large ecosystems

Kusama also announced that the team has been working behind the scenes, throughout the bear market and FUD, to build over 30 pieces of technology and named it the 36 “Chambers” of Tech.

The 36 “chambers” of Tech include AI, FHE-powered Shibarium, Web3 games, beautiful Metaverse, Aura, Reputation, Karma, decentralized identity, attestation, and many more powered by Shib. With this, Shib can now support any project or innovator, regardless of city or country.

TREAT token empowers SHIB’s ecosystem by rewarding engagement and creating opportunities

TREAT (Transactional Rewards for Engagement & Access Token) is critical to SHIB’s WHY Combinator projects. It is not only the token that will settle the projects, but it will boost community engagement through weekly drops that will reward engagements and motivate activities within the ecosystem.

On day 1, TREAT will be listed on various exchanges: Bitget, Gate, Kucoin, MEXC, and Aura.

Meanwhile, the developers are expanding BONE’s role within its network. Currently, it serves as Shibarium’s gas token, but the team believes it can serve more. BONE could be used to launch Layer-3 solutions, enabling Shibarium to act as both a settlement and data availability layer.
