What is Shiba Inu?
Shiba Inu [SHIB] is the second-largest memecoin with a market cap of more than $5 billion. Critics have often questioned the lack of real world utility of this set of crypto-assets. To address this, Shiba Inu has launched several applications including layer-2 (L2) scaling solution – Shibarium – and decentralized exchange (DEX) ShibaSwap.
What is BONE?
BONE serves as a governance token within the ShibaSwap ecosystem, allowing holders to propose and vote on changes to the protocol through Doggy DAO. It also serves as gas token for upcoming L2 blockchain, Shibarium which is currently in its test Beta phase. Additionally, it will be used to burn SHIB tokens which depletes an asset’s circulating supply to increase its future value.
