LEASH

#818

Shiba Inu (SHIB) was created in August 2020 by an anonymous person or group using the pseudonym “Ryoshi.” As a part of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, Ryoshi is also behind Doge Killer (LEASH), and there is still close to no information regarding the identity of the tokens’ creator(s). In Shiba Inu’s whitepaper – whimsically entitled the “Woofpaper” – Ryoshi give(s) three reasons for creating Shiba Inu:

“We started from zero, with zero.”

“The brilliant minds behind Shib had never collaborated before.”

“We love Shiba Inu Dogs.”

However, it is fair to assume that the stunning success of Dogecoin (DOGE) also inspired the endeavor and that the founder(s) recognized the lucrative potential of creating yet another popular dog coin.

Doge Killer (LEASH) was originally intended to be a rebase token but then the team decided to change tack and limit the total supply to only 107,646 tokens. This extremely low supply makes it an outlier among dog coins and also helps explain its high price, with LEASH trading at around $1,400 at the time of writing, down from a stunning all-time high of over $7,000 in May 2021. Usually, dog-themed cryptocurrencies have an artificially high supply – in the billions or even quadrillions – with which they try to spur investors to buy the token and pump the price to one dollar or one cent. LEASH takes a refreshingly different approach, making it a truly unique dog coin.

Although the team promises “lucrative rewards” to LEASH holders, it does not specify what these will be. This will potentially be up to the community to decide, as Bone ShibaSwap (BONE) is the governance token of the Shiba Inu ecosystem and will be used for voting in proposals in the upcoming Doggy DAO.

Doge Killer (LEASH) is an ERC-20 token, which is the token standard that most new tokens use if issued on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain. A stalwart of the crypto space, Ethereum remains the go-to solution for many decentralized application (DApp) creators. Its blockchain has successfully transitioned from a proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism to proof-of-stake (PoS) during the "Merge" on Sept. 15, 2022. A set of decentralized nodes validates all transactions and secures the Ethereum blockchain, ensuring it is one of the safest in the industry.

In addition, all tokens in the Shiba Inu (SHIB) ecosystem have been audited by Certik.

Doge Killer (LEASH) is available on Uniswap (V2), Gate.io and Shibaswap.
