On Tuesday, his comments came in response to a question from Rand Hindi, CEO of open source crypto company Zama, who asked his followers to identify crypto assets they believe will remain relevant in two decades, worthy of be passed on to future generations. While Hindi confirmed that he would gift Bitcoin to his heirs, Dhairya offered a compelling counterpoint from Team Shiba Inu’s perspective.
In a tweet which quickly caught the attention of the SHIB army, Dhairya used an imaginative metaphor to share the long-term vision of the project. He suggested that the team “pack” the different tokens of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, namely SHIB, LEASH, BONE and TREAT, in a “Super BLT sandwich”, which would be passed on to future generations.
This metaphor highlights Dhairya’s confidence in the sustainability and continued relevance of Shiba Inu platform and its various tokens, which it says are designed to last for decades.
Notably, the Shiba Inu team’s commitment to long-term relevance is reflected in its continued development of utility projects aimed at strengthening the ecosystem. These initiatives, ranging from gaming to metaverse businesses, are all designed to secure Shiba Inu’s position in the cryptocurrency space for years to come.
 At the heart of this vision is Shibarium, Shiba Inu’s rapidly growing layer 2 blockchain. According to recent data, with an average block time of just 21.55 seconds, Shibarium has processed over 562 million transactions. Furthermore, the network continues to expand, with more than 200,000 accounts and nearly two million active addresses. Shibarium has verified nearly 4,500 contracts and completed over eight million blocks, solidifying its growing influence in the ecosystem.
Additionally, each token in the Shiba Inu ecosystem serves a distinct function, further enhancing the versatility of the project. SHIB acts as both a medium of exchange and a store of value, while BONE serves as the governance token for ShibaSwap. LEASH offers incentives such as liquidity rewards and NFT minting opportunities, and TREAT, which is expected to launch soon, will serve as the official reward token. These tokens will also be essential in the upcoming Doggy DAO, Shiba Inu’s community governance framework.
That said, Dhairya’s belief in Shiba Inu’s long-term potential resonates with investors looking for a meme token with lasting value. This vision also closely aligns with Shytoshi Kusama’s broader strategy for the project. Under Kusama’s leadership, Shiba Inu grew from a simple coin to a serious blockchain competitor. In an interview in July, Kusama revealed that the project is now focused on moving from Web2 to Web3 to challenge centralized giants like Google.
