After a two-week hiatus, Shiba Inu lead developer Shytoshi Kusama re-emerged on social media platform X, generating a buzz within the SHIB community. Kusama’s return coincided with news that could significantly boost Shiba Inu’s presence in the Web3 landscape—a gold sponsorship secured for the upcoming IVS Crypto 2024 KYOTO conference.
Kusama’s X activity primarily focused on highlighting the event, which kicks off in just eight days. He enthusiastically shared a recent update from the organizers, emphasizing the limited availability of tickets for over 250 side events. This suggests a high level of anticipation surrounding the conference.
Kusama’s return extended beyond event promotion. In a follow-up post, he acknowledged his past introverted nature, hinting at a potential shift. “It’s time for a change,” Kusama stated, expressing gratitude to the IVS Crypto team for their patience. He further revealed his eagerness to connect with SHIB enthusiasts at the conference, hinting at a more active role in promoting Shiba Inu and Web3.
The gold sponsorship secured by Shiba Inu aligns perfectly with Kusama’s hinted-at transformation. This coveted title grants Shiba Inu a dedicated booth at the conference, a prime opportunity to showcase its potential and foster widespread adoption. Additionally, the sponsorship elevates Shiba Inu’s visibility within the Web3 community, potentially leading to new partnerships with industry leaders.
Held from July 4th to 6th at the KYOTO Pulse Plaza, IVS Crypto 2024 KYOTO is a major Web3 conference in Japan. Themed “Cross the Boundaries,” the event explores the convergence of Web3 and blockchain technology with artificial intelligence, entertainment, and gaming.
With a star-studded line-up of speakers, including Mo Shaikh (Aptos Labs co-founder and CEO), Ray Chan (Memeland CEO), and Jeffrey Zirlin (Sky Mavis co-founder), the conference promises to be a melting pot for innovation and collaboration.
Shiba Inu‘s involvement in such a prominent event signifies a strategic move towards a more prominent position within the Web3 ecosystem. With Kusama potentially taking a more active stance, the future looks bright for the dog-themed cryptocurrency and its passionate SHIB Army.
