Shytoshi Kusama, the lead developer behind the Shiba Inu meme currency project, has unveiled A vision for a new form of digital identity within the cryptographic world.
Kusama criticized the current complexity of wallet addresses and proposed a more user-friendly alternative that could significantly simplify transactions for the average user.
“These long, complex wallet addresses don’t make sense to the average user, and it’s time for something simpler,” he said.
Simplifying the Web3 journey
As part of a collaborative effort with D3inc, Kusama emphasized the importance of the introduction of SHIB name tokens, which are intended to act as cross-chain, cross-platform usernames.
This innovative approach could streamline the transaction process between multiple blockchains, potentially solving a common problem for users dealing with long and complicated wallet addresses.
These tokens are designed to replace existing wallet addresses with something much simpler, a *shib extension that could make sending and receiving digital assets as easy as sending an email.
A universal crypto username
Beyond simplifying transactions, Kusama’s vision extends to broader utility within the Web3 domain, where these Name Tokens could become a universal username for various platforms.
This could include decentralized applications (dApps), games, decentralized finance (DeFi) services, and even social networks.
The intention is for the SHIB name token to serve as a singular identity on these platforms, thus creating a more cohesive and user-friendly experience.
The move aligns with the recent integration of the Wallet Connect feature into Shibarium, Shiba Inu’s layer 2 solution. It is supposed to improve user interaction by simplifying the process of authorizing transactions from mobile wallets.
