The Shiba Inu ecosystem is moving beyond its meme coin origins with the launch of a new identity protocol that prioritizes Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI). This will be integrated into the upcoming layer-2 network Shibarium, allowing users to maintain control over their digital identity without the influence of third parties. SSI lets users store their identity data in a digital wallet, providing increased data security, privacy, and protection. The implementation of digital identity will take place on a "Shib Super App" where every Shibarium dApp can be onboarded, as part of the plan for perpetual decentralization.
