ShibLuck was the answer to a simple question.

What would happen if a cryptocurrency project was 100% run by its community?

While the term DeFi literally includes the word decentralized in its definition, this is in reference to economic status as opposed to its internal hierarchy. Our founder, Ryoshi, said this of our beginnings, "We are an experiment in decentralized spontaneous community building(...)".

While none of us could have imagined it at the time, this was the start of a revolution.

Projects built on the foundation of community involvement are the untamed wilderness of our future. As we move further away from rigid social structures and traditional mindsets, we become free to discover new ways to solve problems and relate to one another.

In a world ruled by the commodification of time, community-based projects are more than just a change of pace, they are a way to practice the radical acceptance of others. When success depends on the shared strength of the individuals who make up a collective, we are forced to shift our perspectives to align with those around us. The ShibLuck Ecosystem is our way of recognizing the importance of tearing down a long-established paradigm of a formulaic success and building a path to freedom and creativity in its place.

A community is held together by hundreds, if not thousands, of interconnected moments. By studying those drawn to our project, we realized that true power doesn't come from a single perspective, it comes from working together in harmony.

With that thought bright in our minds, we began developing the ShibLuck Ecosystem in earnest.
