New SHIB Wallet

The ShibariumID project officially announced its plans to introduce the first domain name service designed specifically for the Shibarium ecosystem in collaboration with Proof of Human, a venture capital company. The company focuses on supporting innovative products and technologies in the digital identity sector.

The project has yet to release actual details about the product, but the company offers information about its four-member management team and its mission in the digital asset space.

ShibariumID is set to provide a centralized discovery hub that enables users to explore supported domains and trending collections. Users may also utilize auto-suggestions and quick registration status checks for an easier domain acquisition process.

ShibariumID will also offer a list of domain-related services, such as domain trading, and consolidating liquidity from various sources.

The Shiba Inu team intends to charge a commission on each “.shib” domain sale and the proceedings will be used towards burning SHIB, donating to Doggy DAO, and supporting nonprofit initiatives.
