The game originally dubbed the Oshiverse will be the newest extension to the SHIB ecosystem. Shytoshi Kusama, the project leader of the decentralized meme currency, provided further details on November 26 in an article titled “The Future of Gaming is Shib” on Medium.

Whatsmore, it’s been a long road for SHIB since its early meme coin branding days, and the digital asset is trying to break away from that title by aiming to build a robust crypto-ecosystem with genuine applications and initiatives. Previously, the token had come under fire from hedge fund manager Michael Burry, who said it was “pointless” and a “bad investment option”; however, popularity around the dog coin has continued to grow, with Shiba Inu token holders reaching 1 million holders milestone last week.
