Shiba Inu's Metaverse project has partnered with the International Women of Blockchain (IWB) and NowPayments to promote gender diversity in the Web3 blockchain industry. The collaboration aims to incentivize and encourage women participation in the sector and foster diversity in all aspects of the field. IWB is a hybrid conference that focuses on promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in the blockchain industry, while NowPayments is a non-custodial payment gateway that allows businesses and individuals to accept crypto payments. The partnership was initiated with a fund recently introduced by Shytoshi Kusama, the Shiba Inu project lead, aimed at empowering female participation in Shibarium. The fund, which started with Kusama's personal $25,000 contribution, now boasts $50,000 following contributions from several entities, including NFA Labs, Marcie Jastrow, Lisa Watts Sherri Cuono, and Unification.
