Shiba Inu, also known as SHIB, was launched in 2020 and saw significant growth through 2021.Created by an anonymous individual known as Ryoshi, Shiba Inu can be described as an Ethereum-based alternative to the popular dog-themed memecoin, Dogecoin. However, unlike Dogecoin, Shiba Inu's network includes three separate tokens with different characteristics and use cases. These are SHIB, LEASH, and BONE. The Shiba Inu network also includes an art incubator known as the Shiba Inu Incubator. Additionally, there is a DEX called ShibaSwap, an NFT collection known as Shiboshis, and a leap into the metaverse with the Shibeverse. According to their 'Woof Paper,' Shiba Inu puts emphasis on being entirely community driven. This means no private funding, centralised governance, or direct leadership. The network is run as a Decentralised Autonomous Organisation, known as the DoggyDAO, with the community dictating the DAO's direction through its governance token.

What is the difference between Shiba Inu and Dogecoin? On a fundamental level, Shiba Inu and Dogecoin run different consensus mechanisms to validate their transactions which dictates their speed, security, and level of decentralisation. Dogecoin is a fourth-generation fork of Bitcoin, meaning it uses a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism. PoW requires a majority of nodes in the network to agree to achieve consensus, which requires a lot more power to run and only worsens as the project grows.
On the other hand, Shiba Inu runs on top of the Ethereum network, which utilises Proof-of-Stake (PoS). Under PoS, those who have deposited the most coins to the network for the longest duration get to validate the next transaction.
As this only requires one validator and a few additional nodes to verify the validator's work is accurate, it requires much less energy to operate, making it more scalable than PoW cryptocurrencies. Because of this difference in consensus mechanisms, Dogecoin runs its own blockchain, while Shiba Inu runs on top of the Ethereum blockchain as it is an ERC-20 token.
As a medium of exchange, Shiba Inu is generally more versatile than Dogecoin, although DOGE is currently more widely accepted than SHIB.

How do I store my Shiba Inu (SHIB)? There are many Ethereum-based wallet options you can explore when it comes to safely storing your Shiba Inu, including using hot and cold crypto wallets. Conducting your own research is crucial to keeping your Shiba Inu safe.
What are Hot Wallets?
Hot wallets are crypto wallets that are connected to the internet. They offer better accessibility which simplifies more frequent trading. However, they offer less security against hacks and fraud incidents.
What are Cold Wallets?
Cold wallets are crypto wallets that are not connected to the internet. The two main types of cold wallets are paper wallets and hardware wallets such as Trezor and Ledger wallets. Cold wallets are a popular option for those who value security, or for traders holding Shiba Inu as a long term investment.
