Shytoshi’s AI Whitepaper Released: SHIB Exec Lucie Teases “SHIB CITY”

The Shiba Inu team is back in the news! 

SHIB’s lead developer Shytoshi Kusama has released a new AI-focused whitepaper, and it’s already sparking conversation across the community – even though the actual contents remain under wraps.

Taking the lead on the public reaction is SHIB’s marketing head Lucie, who shared her thoughts in a tweet that has quickly gained traction.

“Taking my time to go through the Shytoshi AI paper,” she said, comparing AI to things she holds close, like “art, film, and storytelling.”

She playfully wondered whether this marks a new season in Days of our SHIB or an entirely new show altogether: SHIB CITY – The AI Utopia

What We Know So Far About ‘The ShibPaper’

While the whitepaper hasn’t been released to the public yet, it’s already being seen as a turning point for SHIB. Titled “The ShibPaper”, the 36-page document is said to outline how artificial intelligence will fit into the SHIB ecosystem.

It also appears to revisit and reinforce SHIB’s long-term vision, which is built on decentralization, community involvement, and real-world use cases. 

The SHIB ecosystem already includes three main tokens (SHIB, BONE, and LEASH), the Shibarium Layer 2 network, and expansion projects like Shiba Eternity and the SHIB metaverse.

SHIB Burn Rate Spikes Over 3,600% in One Day

Adding more fuel to the moment, SHIB’s daily burn rate shot up by 3,615%, according to data from Shibburn. Over 6.3 million SHIB tokens were burned in the last 24 hours, with the largest single burn wiping out over 5.8 million tokens.

Interestingly, the weekly burn rate is down 97%, but this sudden daily spike could hint at renewed community interest, likely tied to the AI whitepaper buzz.

A New Chapter for SHIB?

Do you think this is a full reset or just the start of a bigger plan? Either way, SHIB seems ready to evolve. The AI angle could open up new possibilities, from better tech to wider adoption. 

And if Lucie’s reaction is anything to go by, the team is confident about where this is heading.
