Shiba Inu’s Advantages Over Dogecoin
Recently, Shytoshi Kusama, the lead developer of Shiba Inu, highlighted a unique feature that sets Shiba Inu apart from Dogecoin, the leading meme coin, on an X post. He referenced Shiba Eternity, a Web2 game set to be fully integrated into the Shibarium network, to explain why Shiba Inu is ahead of Dogecoin. This was in response to a post by Jordan (MyDogeCEO) revealing that gaming would soon be accessible on the Dogecoin network. Kusama’s response indicated that game finance (GmeFi) is already an essential component of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, giving it an edge over Dogecoin, which is still trying to catch up in this domain.
- Kusama emphasized the integration of Shiba Eternity into the Shibarium network, making game finance an integral part of the Shiba Inu ecosystem.
- Shiba Inu is preparing to launch a play-to-earn (P2E) version of Shiba Eternity on the Shibarium network, offering exciting rewards to players.
- Lucie, the Marketing Lead of Shiba Inu, shared insights on the upcoming Web3 game, hinting at unique features and benefits for players.
Additionally, Lucie mentioned that players migrating from the Web2 version would receive a welcome package comprising in-game rewards like XP boosters, card packs, and Kibble galore. The Shiboshis NFT collection would play a significant role in the game, determining the amount of Kibble players receive based on their Shiboshis unlocks. Moreover, owners of the original Shiboshis NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain would enjoy exclusive in-game features and participate in closed beta tests. The first closed beta test would integrate the Shiboshis NFT collection, setting the stage for the game’s “Breeding” phase.
Dogecoin’s Ongoing Network Activity
Although Shiba Inu offers more utility than Dogecoin, statistics from the market intelligence platform, IntoTheBlock, suggest that Dogecoin still commands a higher number of daily active addresses. These addresses represent accounts that have conducted one or more on-chain transactions within a day. In the past week, Shiba Inu has maintained its daily active addresses within the 3,000-4,000 range, whereas Dogecoin has seen figures between 40,000 and 50,000. Despite this, Shiba Inu has provided better returns for its holders since the beginning of the year, with a year-to-date gain of over 30% compared to Dogecoin’s just over 10%.
- IntoTheBlock data illustrates that Dogecoin has a higher number of daily active addresses compared to Shiba Inu, indicating stronger network activity.
- While Shiba Inu lags behind in daily active addresses, it has delivered more significant returns to its holders this year than Dogecoin.
- Kusama’s prediction of Shiba Inu’s dominance in the current bull run has proven accurate, surpassing Dogecoin and other meme coins.
