Why It Matters: In other news, Shiba Inu has partnered with D3 Global, a domain company, to secure the .shib top-level domain. This partnership makes SHIB one of the first decentralized ecosystems to collaborate with D3 Global in the pursuit of a dedicated top-level domain through the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.

The primary goal of the initiative is to combine the traditional domain name system (DNS) with the growing Web3 sector to enable a new level of interoperability and digital identity inside the Shiba Inu ecosystem.
