Module 1 - From Meme to Movement: The SHIB Story
Every great movement starts with an idea. For Shiba Inu, that idea was simple yet bold: a cryptocurrency built by the community, for the community. Learn how SHIB went from an internet joke to one of the most recognized crypto ecosystems.
Shiba Inu was created in August 2020 by an anonymous founder known as "Ryoshi". Inspired by Dogecoin and decentralization, SHIB began as a grassroots experiment - no CEO, no company, just community.
The vision was to build a decentralized movement, not just a token. Over time, the ecosystem expanded with companion tokens like LEASH and BONE, supporting governance and utility.
The ShibArmy became the engine of growth: education, open discussion, volunteer devs, NFTs, and charitable efforts - proving that community can rival traditional structures.
From ShibaSwap to the emerging Shibarium network, SHIB's scope includes DEX, staking, NFTs, and more - aiming to evolve from meme to meaningful utility.
Key lesson: innovation can start playfully. What matters is purpose, transparency, and execution. Community-first design can unlock new forms of ownership and creativity.
