Shytoshi Kusama, the lead developer of the Shiba Inu ecosystem shared several important developments and upcoming new initiatives in a blog post.
Shibacals, the first on the list, has obtained the rights to design Shiba Inu products for Champion Apparel. “Through Shibacals, we will authenticate these first-ever collector’s items using our Authentication Tags & NFC chips.”
Launched on 15 June, “Shibacals” is the latest offering in a collaboration studio, combining Shiba Inu with physical or real-life assets.
Shibacals, which operates on the slogan “Print anything you can mint,” uses Near-Field Communication [NFC] chips made by partner Hewlett-Packard HP to offer customers IRL toys, plushies, and even Champion hoodies with Shiba Inu graphics.
The Shiba Inu lead also introduced “Shibacals: Authenticated Collectibles,” to rapidly boost engagement and is in talks with multiple blockchains to adopt this authentication.
Additionally, he revealed a hoodie design competition that is open to entries through June 28.
In light of this, the lead developer announced Shibarium will be released after, along with a few more surprises. Once again, he made no mention of the date.
Shytoshi however has one more new revelation in store. “Worldpaper” would debut simultaneously with the release of Shibarium or just before.
Shiba Inu To Roll Out A Informational Guide That Extends Beyond SHIB
“Alongside the release of Shibarium, or right before, it’ll be time to unveil what I call the Worldpaper.”
Unlike Woofpaper, the Shiba Inu’s equivalent of a whitepaper that describes the technological specifics of the Shiba ecosystem as well as certain upcoming projects, Worldpaper would be different and would cover all aspects of the SHIB ecosystem and decentralization in general.
In his own words, “This is a deep dive into all the aspects of Shib; the ecosystem of tokens, products, platforms, and services including but not limited to Shib, Bone, Leash, Treat, Shhhhh-i, and more as noted above.”
Moreover, it’ll explain a long-term plan for full and complete decentralization, our new official partners [and a reminder of current ones], and all details you all want and crave. It’s a bit different than the Woofpaper as this paper is about “changing [I prefer the word saving… but I digress] the WORLD via decentralization.
