Shiba Inu ecosystem development as a catalyst for growth
On January 3, we discussed if Shiba Inu could anticipate a new upsurge in values throughout 2022.
On December 31, Shiba Inu, through an official post on Twitter, announced the launch of the DOGGY DAO.
This has been a part of Shiba Inu’s plan for decentralization, where the DOGGY DAO was released in a stage-by-stage metric and phased approach.
In this first phase, DAO 1 is specifically focused on providing intermediate power to the community so they can decide which crypto projects and pairs on the ShibaSwap WOOF Pools will be, as well as how the BONE rewards will be distributed.
Through the newly created voting systems, users are able to distribute their voting power when they hold tBone, which is a staked form of the BONE token, into their preferred projects.
All of this can contribute to the growth of the SHIB token’s value.
