The Shiba Inu community has voted overwhelmingly to escrow 37.5 Ethereum (ETH) into a new multisignature wallet, as the results of the recent community vote that concluded on September 4, 2024, indicate. This decision marks a critical step in the evolution of Shiba Inu’s decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) system, especially in terms of fund management and project development.

The vote offered four choices to the community on how to handle the funds provided by Welly’s, a partner project. The most favored option, choice 1, secured 84.95% of the vote, equivalent to 78 billion SHIB tokens.

This option involved creating a multisig wallet controlled by selected signers including notable community figures such as lead developer Shytoshi Kusama, LC, GOSSIP Shib, core developer Kaal Dhairya, and an additional signer to be chosen by the community. Later, 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 decision,” the proposal outlined.

Choice 2, which suggested burning the 37.5 ETH to reduce the overall supply of SHIB tokens, received 15.05% of the vote, or 14 billion SHIB tokens. This indicates that while a segment of the community supports deflationary measures, a larger portion leaned towards reinvestment in community projects. Choices 3 and 4, which would have given a carte blanche to community projects by choice or allowed the wallet holder to keep the funds while ceasing negative commentary about the ecosystem, respectively, received negligible support.

Shytoshi Kusama, in a blog post leading up to the vote, laid out the rationale behind this strategic approach to fund management within the DAO. Kusama highlighted past challenges and the need for a structure that not only mitigates potential abuses but also aligns with the long-term vision of the Shiba Inu project.

Kusama emphasized, “It is not every day I explain the thought process behind why we have done certain things but when people misconstrue, then it is important to set the record straight, enlighten past shadows, and show the path forward that is as it has always been, paved with the truth of decentralization.”

In addition to addressing fund management, Kusama’s post revealed plans for advancing from V1 to V2 of the Shib DAO, which include implementing a Karma, Reputation, and Competency (KRC) system. This system is designed to interlace with technologies like Self-Sovereign Identity and Fully Homomorphic Encryption, aiming to protect user data and enhance the integrity of the ecosystem. This approach is intended to fortify the DAO against scams and ensure a decentralized yet secure environment for users and developers alike.

At press time, SHIB traded at $0.00001311.
