ShibaSwap is the decentralized exchange of the Shiba Inu (SHIB) coin, a popular dog-themed meme coin inspired by the success of Dogecoin and claiming to be a “Dogecoin killer.” In November 2021, Shiba Inu briefly surpassed Dogecoin in market capitalization, partly thanks to the DEX.
ShibaSwap enables users to provide liquidity and swap different tokens while earning its governance token BONE. Users can also trade NFTs, so-called “Shibatoshis,” a collection of 10,000 unique tokens related to the Shiba Inu ecosystem. Other functionalities include staking, swapping tokens, collecting rewards, and checking portfolio analytics.
After burning half of its supply to Vitalik Buterin, who then donated his tokens to charity, the Shiba Inu community decided that SHIB would need to set itself apart from other meme coins and started working on ShibaSwap.
Since the founder of Shiba Inu is unknown, the same is true for ShibaSwap. The Shiba Inu community developed the exchange to increase the utility of the SHIB token. Shiba Inu was created in August 2020 by “Ryoshi,” a pseudonymous developer. Shiba Inu’s “Woofpaper” explains three reasons for the creation of Shiba Inu:
ShibaSwap launched on July 6, 2021, to make the cryptocurrency more than a meme coin.
Like its founder, the location of the exchange remains a mystery.
The platform is supposedly open to users from all over the world.
In addition to SHIB, LEASH, and BONE, users can swap hundreds of other tokens on the DEX. There are over 230 markets, with the most popular trading pairs being ETH/VEMP, BONE/ETH, and SHIB/ETH.
Traders pay gas fees on the Ethereum network to trade on ShibaSwap.
Margin trading is not enabled on the decentralized exchange.
