Shiba Inu Set To Launch Its First DAO: What's It All About?

Highlights

  • At the moment, the majority of users have backed the second option.

Shiba Inu Votes on New Proposal 

Shiba Inu holders will vote on the platform’s decentralized governance evolution and fund allocation for a partner project. In an Aug 31 post, developer Shytoshi Kusama revealed the reasons behind certain actions and votes aimed to strengthen the platform’s decentralized ecosystem. The move will see users vote to distribute 37.5 ETH from Welly’s, a SHIB partner project. 

Kusama rolled out four options including being escrowed to a new multi-sig, burning, community projects allocation, etc. In the first option, the fund will be escrowed to a new multisig which would include people with one vote to use the funds as the DAO sees fit. 

LC, GOSSIP Shib, Kaal Dhairya, Shytoshi Kusama, and an appointed signer chosen by vote by the DAO. These funds will go to a secondary vote for what can be done where the community can submit choices therein, and then the signers agree to execute as decided upon without regard to the decision.”

The second option will see the funds burnt by purchasing Shiba Inu while the third entails funding to a community project. However, this will be done by the wallet holder without the input of the community. For the final option, the wallet owner keeps the assets and stops funding the ecosystem.

Impact on SHIB Price 

At the moment, the move has had little impact on the meme coin’s price with Shiba Inu holders projecting an uphill climb after recent corrections. SHIB trades sideways in a 24-hour window and has plunged 13% in the last seven days with 15% monthly exits. However, several members of the community say the move will encourage wider community participation. The vote kicked off Aug 31 and will end on Sept 4. Currently, 98.4% of users voted for the second option while 1.57 users picked the first option.
