Vitalik Buterin Dumps $700,000 of Memecoins — and Hodlers Are NOT Happy

## What is SHIKOKU? (SHIK)

SHIKOKU is a decentralized memecoin experiment. The goals of SHIKOKU are multi-faceted:

* To create the Shikoku Inu Decentralized Ecosystem (SIDE) of applications and tools.
* To educate investors about self-custody in an engaging way.
* To be a driving force for good, via the Shikokuments.

The SHIKOKU token is the sole and native token that will be utilized across the SIDE. SHIKOKU begun as a decetralized memecoin experiment, but will gradually transition to the centerpiece of a large ecosystem that uplifts its' community and provides a safe space for those learning more about DeFi.

## What sets SHIKOKU apart?

Many Shiba Inu clones have launched, without definite qualities, plans of development and action, and the drive to execute a utility that people want to, and feel comfortable using. SHIKOKU launches, not just as a "SHIBA KILLER", but as the start a global movement to take over the industry and change it for good. SHIKOKU will be the only token to drive this movement, and attention will not be diluted into other means. This single, focused approach is what defines SHIKOKU.

## Who Are the Founders and Owners of SHIKOKU?

The anonymous creator of SHIKOKU refers to himself as Shikoshi Sanada. Very little is known about him, similar to the founder of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. In his V1.0.0 whitepaper about SHIKOKU and the side, he mentioned that SHIKOKU has no permanent allotted
owner, instead, it is owned by all that wish to own it. To further push this point, after providing 10ETH initial liquidity paired to all tokens, he burnt the entire liquidity, and published the keys to the developer wallet for all to add and use, in an unseen before way. By doing this, although SHIKOKU was founded by one, it is now owned by all.

## How Many SHIKOKU Are There in Circulation?

SHIKOKU launched on the Ethereum Blockchain on November 7, 2022. The genesis token creation event created 1,000,000,000,000,000 SHIKOKU tokens. This is the max supply, and max circulating supply, no SHIKOKU tokens may ever be minted. Dedicated community members have contributed to the burn address, reducing the circulating supply.

## Shikoshi and Vitalik Buterin

As a thank you to the founder of the Ethereum Blockchain, Shikoshi gifted Ethereum Founder, Vitalik Buterin with 50% of the total supply, or 500,000,000,000,000 tokens. Shikoshi humbly requests that if Vitalik accepts this offer, that he burns 47% of the supply, donates 2% of the supply to various charity organizations, and reserves 1% to spend at his leisure.

The project is advised by Steve Chen, co-founder of YouTube and Justin Kan, co-founder of Twitch.

Theta features its own native cryptocurrency token, THETA, which performs various governance tasks within the network, and counts Google, Binance, Blockchain ventures, Gumi, Sony Europe and Samsung as Enterprise validators, along with a Guardian network of thousands of community-run guardian nodes.
