Shiba Inu's Plan for a '.shib' Internet Domain

Shiba Inu developers are teaming up with D3, an internet domain player, to bring a “.shib” internet and top-level domain to the market. The goal is to support identity-focused projects and expand the reach of the SHIB ecosystem to over 5 billion internet users.

Through their partnership, Shiba Inu aims to apply for the .shib top-level domain through ICANN, a global database for internet domains. If approved, Shiba Inu would become one of the first Web3 networks with its own DNS namespace, allowing for greater integration of digital identities within its decentralized ecosystem.

By introducing real domains to SHIB, the team hopes to enhance digital identity verification for all products built on the Shiba Inu blockchain and Shibarium, a layer 2 network.

Transition to D3's Infrastructure

As part of this initiative, Shiba Inu's existing Shib Name Service (SNS) will be transitioned to D3's infrastructure. SNS, which was released in November, serves as a means to introduce digital identity verification for all products built on the Shiba Inu blockchain and Shibarium.

With the transition to D3's infrastructure, Shiba Inu aims to leverage the expertise and resources of D3 to further enhance the functionality and security of SNS. This move highlights the ongoing efforts to strengthen the digital identity capabilities within the Shiba Inu ecosystem.

Implications for the SHIB Ecosystem

The introduction of the '.shib' internet domain has significant implications for the SHIB ecosystem. It opens up new opportunities for users to establish their digital identities and interact with blockchain applications using a domain name tied to their wallet address.

Furthermore, by expanding the reach of the SHIB ecosystem to a broader audience, Shiba Inu aims to drive long-term revenue generation within the ecosystem. This move aligns with their vision of creating a decentralized identity project and establishing SHIB as a reputable digital currency in the crypto space.
