Shiba Inu’s enigmatic project lead Shytoshi Kusama dropped a major surprise late yesterday that come with a “solid” twist. The cryptic announcement along with the suspenseful trailer has sent fans into a tizzy.
The 0.8-second teaser began with a dramatic entrance of the SHIB logo accompanied by intense music. The logo, which appeared to be wearing a mask, abruptly transforms to black and white as the movie transitions, ending with the caption “Something physical is coming.”
Members of SHIB had already been leaving breadcrumbs that led to the teaser. One of them uploaded a photo of individuals sporting SHIB apparel along with the cheeky comment “Lets Gets Physical.”
Shiba Inu enthusiasts think the most recent teaser is connected to Kusama’s earlier one, which alluded to the imminent release of the next addition to its ecosystem by early July.
It also hinted that “Something is Coming” in the then-cryptic post.
As reported by TronWeekly, the product is touted to have the best-decentralized protocols and include elements like governance, real-life applications [IRL], MV, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence [AI], and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations [DAOs].
The string of announcements comes at a time when the lead developer has been confronted by critics who accused him of dillydallying tactics and lack of ecosystem-beneficial contributions.
In response, Kusama called them “fudders,” or individuals disseminating false and unfavorable information about the Shiba Inu project, in the Telegram thread, saying:
“For you fudders: You will be completely rekt,” adding that he has learned to speak less and show more, a strategy he intends to keep using as the project encounters more challenges.
