Preface

Ryoshi would always tell us to zoom out. So we did.
In fact, in the grand symphony of existence, it is with a heart
brimming with hope and hands steady with purpose that we
inscribe upon the canvas of our collective consciousness thisprofound conceptual novel and patent pending economic model.
This paradigm-shifting blueprint envisions the emergence of anunending, universally decentralized society that encompasses
the vast expanse of our precious Earth, resonating in both thetangible realm and the nebulous world of digital frontiers.
It envisions a world controlled by “teh people”, as Ryoshi
would say.
His vision has now evolved into a magnificent manuscriptthat is not just an embodiment of a new economic system; it isa beacon, radiating the promise of global harmony, an ode to
the pulsating rhythm of unity, a dream painted in the iridescentcolors of peace. A peace so profound that its ripples cascade
across our shared human experience, breaching the confinesof nations, and eroding the walls of discord that have cast longshadows upon our history.
And yet, this intricate map to universal equanimity also serves
as a gateway to the a digital revolution, a voyage into the expanseof ‘crypto’ that encompass wealth and technology, but can also
disrupt so much more. This crypto revolution, as we envisionit, is about our God-given innate right to govern ourselves. Itxiii

is about asserting our individual identities in an increasinglyinterconnected world, and about selectively disseminating our
personal data and unique narratives across a vibrant tapestryof protocols, modules, systems, businesses, and projects that
benefit the self-sovereign person and the collective system aswell. We will use this malleable map to collect and maximize
the wealth that seems to slip through our tired fingers like sand,while having complete control over the technology we use on adaily basis.
Though we scribe this design as a fully realized decentralized
entity, it beckons to the collective energy and engagement ofa specific fellowship, a harmonious army of kindred spirits weaffectionately call the ShibArmy. To these esteemed individuals,
I entrust the role of stewards and ambassadors of a remarkablestandard, the Shiba Inu brand.
In this choreography of change, you, the Shib Army, are thedancers entrusted with bringing this vision to life. Your steps,
bathed in the light of your shared purpose, will trace the outlinesof this grand design, and in your dance, the world will glimpse
the promise of a new dawn. Thus, I invite you to step onto
this stage we call life, and in the rhythm of unity, let us create
a symphony of sustainable decentralization, a ballet of world
peace, and an ode to the infinite potential of Shiba Inu!
Sincerely,
The Shibizen Founding Council

SHIB: A DECENTRALIZED BEHEMOTH

At our core exists an emerging decentralized society, drawing
from timeless elements that have sustained civilizations forages. In establishing this refreshed framework, we transcend
the limitations of classic centralization. We’re championing adecentralized order poised not merely to persevere, but to flourish with a vigor echoing that of its esteemed predecessors. Notethat we do not seek to dismantle these fundamental centralized
structures, but to “fork” them, to adopt their essence, enhance,
and adapt them to serve a world that craves both independence
and interconnection
Yet, in our pursuit of evolution, we are ever mindful of thepressing challenges our shared home, this Earth, faces. And
hence, we weave into the very fabric of our foundational charter, sophisticated systems, ingenious protocols, progressive
policies, and distinctive roles. These elements stand poised tograpple with and remedy many of our global dilemmas. Moreover, by integrating advanced technology, innovative businessmodels, robust communication systems, and unique operational
methods, we’ve crafted a governance system that’s both flexible
1

THE ULTIMATE MEME: GENESIS OF THE SHIBA STATEand verifiable.

This system is poised to not only manage

our global territory, but also to assert our unequivocal rightto engage with other progressive states on the international
stage. As we establish ourselves within this new paradigmof community, we anticipate its impeccable design will draw
attention. Thus, we stand on the precipice of becoming one of
the largest, most diverse, and most powerful communities on
the globe.
Our journey does not end here, rather, this is but the dawnof a new era. We stand hand in hand, as the architects of a
new world order, as the guardians of a future where justice,technology, governance, and community converge to create anentity previously unimaginable. Join us, become a part of thisdecentralized revolution, and together, let us shape not just our
future, but the future of generations yet unborn.

SHIB IS, AND ALWAYS WILL BE, OUR
CORE

Our heartbeat, our collective rhythm, resonates in one token:
Shib. With thousands of retailers worldwide that accept Shib,and it’s current top 15 rank, while being up 15 MILLION percent
as of the drafting of this charter in it’s lifetime, solidify it as
one of the greatest currencies in the history of mankind. This
token’s deflationary nature, alongside the perpetual nature ofthis system does not ensure it’s value will increase, but does
ensure it’s circulation will decrease. Shib is our flag, our beaconin the wilderness, our guiding light since the genesis of thisgrand experiment. It is therefore fitting that it takes on a NEW,yet critical role in our governance, acting as the voice of thecommunity in many decisions.
When Shib is utilized in democratic voting, every Shibizen,
regardless of the magnitude of their Shib holdings, can wield
their voice as long as they hold ONE Shib. Their individual votebecomes a thread in the grand tapestry of our decision-making
process.

THE GREAT CANINE CODE

Preamble: We stand at the intersection of the physical and thedigital - twin realms of our decentralized existence. We, theShibizens of this new global society, imbue life into this great
Canine Code. Serving as our compass, this code harmonizes ouractions, embodies our respect for fairness, and champions equal
participation across the tangible and the intangible dimensionsof our world. This code, an amalgamation of timeless wisdom
and progressive technologies, is more than just a set of rules- it is our shared path toward a future defined by inclusivity,balance, and collective prosperity.
There are many unique roles and responsibilities that will be
intricately woven into the fabric of our decentralized society.
There are also two statuses. The first is a ‘Shibarian’. This person is an explorer, a pathfinder who navigates the vast expanseof the Shibarium network. They stride forth into the brave newworld we are building, equipped with the conviction of theirbeliefs and the potential of this platform. For transactions theyuse Bone. The system benefits and welcomes these Shibarians
equivalent to “Tourists” or “Visitors” in other nation states.
4THE GREAT CANINE CODE

Yet, within our midst are the ‘Shibizens’ - diverse entities
committed to upholding the norms and laws of our distinctive
community. A Shibizen might manifest as a DAO, a bot, an AI,
an individual, a business, or even a specific piece of hardware,
software, protocol, or system. Their unity is derived from asteadfast adherence to our ShibPaper and Canine Code. In recognition of this commitment, they are conferred the esteemed
Shibizenship—a credential laden with privileges. However,it’s worth noting that this Shibizenship, while valuable, canbe revoked if circumstances deem it necessary.

Article 1. The 22 Principles of ShibPreamble:
As we embark on this shared journey, it is imperative torecognize the ethical framework that underpins our society.
Grounded in principles of harmony, justice, and mutual respect,
we outline the following set of guidelines for all Shibizens.

Section 6.1. Role and Responsibilities
The Protection and Policy Branch, powered by Leash, emerges
as a steadfast guardian of our society in every realm - themetaverse, the digital, and the physical world. Embodying theprinciples of the Great Canine Code, this branch secures therights, security, and peace of all Shibizens across all dimensionsof existence. This branch’s mandate transcends the mereenforcement of laws, as it aspires to affirm societal harmony byprecluding discord before it can surface. Its sphere of responsibility covers everything from safeguarding digital identities
to ensuring the security of physical community spaces, thereby

HOUND’S CONSTITUTION

guaranteeing every facet of our society is fortified against
harm and disruptions. Its role thus extends from preventive to
responsive, maintaining a watchful eye over societal activities
and standing ready to respond effectively to policy violations.
The Protection and Policy Branch thus ensures our society
remains an environment where every Shibizen feels safe, valued,
and shielded.

Section 6.2: Policy Formulation
The Protection and Policy Branch plays a significant role inshaping the society’s policy framework. Its deep understandingof societal vulnerabilities and its mandate to safeguard against
harm place it in a unique position to formulate policies thatenhance societal resilience and uphold the principles of theGreat Canine Code. To ensure the integrity of the system, initial
members of this branch’s councils will be carefully selected,
or elected based on Karma and Reputation. These members
will guide the formation of comprehensive policies that foster
trust and peace within our society, with the collective input
and consensus from all Shibizens (through voting via the Shib
Branch). As our society evolves, these policies will continually
be evaluated and revised to ensure they continue to promote
the overall goals of our society in both the metaverse and thephysical world.

Section 6.3: Checks and Balances
To maintain harmony within the society, the Protection and
Policy Branch is committed to exercising a meticulous systemof checks and balances. It supervises and scrutinizes the actions

all Shibizens. Its role in establishing and maintaining checks
and balances emphasizes the branch’s crucial role in fostering
a culture of accountability and transparency within society. It
is important to note that this branch does not exercise power
unilaterally; rather, it acts based on the collective consensus
of all Shibizens, reflecting the democratic ethos of our society
and ensuring a perpetually decentralized system of peace andtranquility.

Section 6.4: Protectors of Decentralization (PODs)
The vital responsibility of ensuring the decentralization of the
Shiba society and overseeing investigations into potential violations of this principle is entrusted to a specialized subcommittee
known as the Protectors of Decentralization, or PODs.

Section 6.4.1: Rigorous Auditing
Given the pivotal role of the Protectors of Decentralization(PODs) in ensuring the integrity of the Shiba society, this groupis subject to frequent and extensive audits. These audits gobeyond routine checks and delve into the conduct, decisions,and operations of the PODs. This rigorous audit system isconducted by a separate body constituted by representatives
from each branch, maintaining a balance of power. This processensures that the PODs themselves uphold the highest standardsof transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct at all times.
46

HOUND’S CONSTITUTION

The audit reports are made available to the entire Shiba state,
reinforcing the society’s commitment to transparency and thedecentralized ethos.

Section 6.5: Reporting Violations
A critical aspect of preserving our society’s safety and integrity
is the proactive engagement of every Shibizen. To this end,

THE ULTIMATE MEME: GENESIS OF THE SHIBA STATE

Section 6.7: The Right to Privacy
At the heart of our society’s code of conduct is the unwaveringrespect for the right to privacy. Our technology infrastructure,
security protocols, and societal norms collectively uphold thisprinciple. No personal data will be collected or shared without
explicit consent. Breaches of privacy are regarded as severe
violations, warranting immediate investigation by the Protectors of Decentralization and potential punitive action including
and not limited to loss of Shibizenship. The society’s privacy
policy is subject to regular reviews, with updates being proposed,
discussed, and adopted democratically, ensuring it continues toreflect the collective will and values of the Shibizens.

Serving as a pivotal axis in our societal structure, the security
branch plays a significant role in sustaining the checks andbalances system of our society. It is charged with the responsibility of overseeing the activities and operations of the otherbranches - legislative, technology, and entrepreneurial. Acting
akin to a vigilant shepherd, the security branch ensures that theprocesses, decisions, and actions undertaken by these branches
are in strict compliance with the ethical guidelines, societal
norms, and regulations laid down in the Great Canine Codeand this Constitution. The aim here is not to instill a sense of
surveillance but to reinforce accountability, foster transparency,
and cultivate trust within our Shibizen community. Fromreviewing technological advancements and evaluating their potential security implications to auditing legislative decisions fortheir fairness and respect towards individual privacy, the scope48

HOUND’S CONSTITUTION

of this check and balance role is wide and dynamic. Moreover,as the society grows and evolves, the security branch is tasked
to adapt its methods of checks and balances accordingly. It
not only ensures the society’s technological advancements are
secured and the legislative decisions are just, but also that ourentrepreneurial pursuits do not compromise the essential valuesof our community: safety, equity, peace, and sovereignty. Thus,
the security branch, guided by Leash, fortifies the society’s
ethos, ensuring a balanced growth trajectory, free from theperils of centralization and power consolidation.

ARTICLE 8. AMENDMENT PROCESS
Section 8.1. Proposal
Amendments to the Hound’s Constitution can be proposed byany council or council member, backed by a super consensus of
Shib holders. This system promotes continuous evolution andadaptation to the society’s needs. Proposals must be clear, wellarticulated, and state the underlying reasons for the amendment.
Please remember, all documents must have the proper Shib
Time to be accepted for review. Please see A1.S1.

Section 8.2. Review
Proposed amendments undergo a review conducted by a committee comprising validators from the Technological Branch
and the Protectors of Decentralization. The primary objectiveof this committee is to evaluate the technical feasibility of theamendment and to gauge its potential ramifications on theoperations of the society and its members. Next, a committeeof each of the 8 key councils shall review the proposal in full forno less than 1 week.

53

THE ULTIMATE MEME: GENESIS OF THE SHIBA STATE

Section 8.3. Debate.
After the review phase (A8.S2), the proposed amendment isintroduced to the society for comprehensive debate. This phasepresents an invaluable opportunity for all Shibizens to dissect
the implications of the suggested change, allowing them to voice
their insights, concerns, and opinions.

Section 8.4. Voting.
Once the debate concludes, no less than one week, and no morethan 1 year, the proposed amendment advances to a voting stage.
Every Shibizen in possession of at the most ONE (1) Shib token,
is vested with the right to cast their vote democratically. If the
proposed amendment involves a specific branch, or specificbranch’s operations, in any way, that branch must also votedemocratically to approve the amendment.

Section 8.5 Presidents
Leaders stand as the pillars of success, but they also represent
potential points of concern. For this reason, a leader was neverpart of Ryoshi’s vision and not part of this document. However, this system, which represents a completion of Ryoshi’svision, may eventually necessitate various people in places ofpower. Thus, the prospective inclusion of a section about thestructure and limitations of this person must be included in thisconstitution under amendments. Technically, this document
does not inherently request or demand the appointment of apresident and thus, would require a hefty amendment to appoint
one or multiple presidents. However, should the community
54

HOUND’S CONSTITUTION

deem it necessary and subsequently vote one into a branch, thefollowing sections become active, ensuring no single individualholds unchecked power, and none get elected to a position of
power without the genuine consent of the Shibizen populace.

Section 8.5.1. Upholding Decentralization Principles
While the role of a president might emerge, it is imperative tounderstand and affirm that the core principle of decentralization
remains sacrosanct. Any appointed president must function asa facilitator and coordinator, not a centralized decision-making
entity, ensuring that the true spirit of decentralization is nevercompromised.

Section 8.5.2. Role Eligibility and Qualifications
Candidates vying for the presidential role should have a provenhistory within the community, demonstrating a deep understanding of our project’s goals and ethos. Additionally, any
potential conflicts of interest must be disclosed and assessed
before candidacy. The Role cannot be declared by a person, butinstead only can the role be suggested by vote of a council withina branch. The protective branch must approve the candidate
before any voting takes place.

Section 8.5.3 Duties and Responsibilities
The president, once elected, would be responsible for providing
guidance, ensuring smooth inter-branch communications, andrepresenting the community’s interest in external forums. They
must also be proactive in understanding emerging challenges
55

THE ULTIMATE MEME: GENESIS OF THE SHIBA STATE

and opportunities for the Shibizen community and ensuring
their contribution.

Section 8.5.4 Accountability Mechanisms
To ensure that the president remains aligned with the community’s aspirations, regular reviews and town hall sessions
will be scheduled. These platforms will provide Shibizens anopportunity to raise concerns, seek clarifications, and ensure
the president’s actions reflect community interests.

Section 8.5.5 Succession Planning
In unforeseen circumstances where the president cannot continue in their role, the closest ranking council member will
temporarily assume responsibilities. This interim measureensures continuity until a new president is democraticallychosen by the community.

Section 8.5.6 Term Limits
While presidents can seek re-election, they are limited to a maximum of three consecutive terms, unless decided by a consensus
of all branches’ holders. This mechanism ensures that new
perspectives continually emerge in leadership roles, fostering
innovation and preventing potential stagnation, unless theleader is fully leading in this space. The president can also
step down at any time, but cannot appoint their successor.
That proposed successor, can however, be suggested by theformer president. The proposed predecessor goes through thesame election process as the former president, and the former
56

HOUND’S CONSTITUTION

president’s vote is not counted.

Section 8.5.7. Compensation and Incentives
Presidential compensation will be decided by a consensus of thecommunity. Such remuneration ensures that the president’s
objectives align closely with community growth and well-being.

Section 8.5.8. Crisis Management
In times of crises or significant community challenges, the president will have the authority to convene emergency meetings,
solicit expert advice, and propose rapid response strategies.
However, any major decisions must still adhere to the decentralized voting mechanisms in place.

Section 8.4.1.9. Transparency and Communication
Maintaining an open channel of communication with Shibizens
is paramount. Presidents will provide monthly updates, participate in Q&A sessions, and ensure that every community member
remains informed about ongoing initiatives, challenges, andmilestones.

Section 8.5. Implementation.
In the event that the amendment garners approval from the
mandated majority, the onus of its implementation falls upon
the relevant branches and councils. At this juncture, a clear andconcise timeline for its realization will be delineated.

57

59THE ULTIMATE MEME: GENESIS OF THE SHIBA STATE

Article 11. Validators and Delegators
Section 11.1 Definition
Validators are nodes that propose blocks and confirm transactions on the Shibarium Layer 2 blockchain, ensuring the health,integrity, and security of the network. Delegators, by contrast,
are Shibizens who delegate their Bone tokens to validators,
contributing to the staking pool and sharing in both the rewards
and risks of the validators.

Section 11.2 Becoming a Validator
To become a validator, Shibizens must stake a significant
amount of Bone. This stake amount ensures the validator’scommitment to the network’s integrity. Initially set at 10,000
for a super node, it’s designed to be substantial enough topromote genuine participation but not prohibitive. In the
network’s nascent phase, a predetermined set of validators isoften used to ensure stability, with decentralization increasingover time. Prospective validators must also satisfy technicalrequirements, such as operating a node with constant uptime
and updating it as necessary.

Section 11.3 Validator Responsibilities
Validators uphold the network by validating transactions andproposing blocks. Misconduct or neglect of duty may result in“slashing,” where part of the validator’s staked Bone is forfeited.
Validators also join consensus votes, shaping the blockchain’s
state and evolution.
60

HOUND’S CONSTITUTION

Section 11.4 Becoming a Delegator
Shibizens who prefer not to take on the role of validators,
either due to the intricate technical demands or the staking
prerequisites, can still engage as delegators. By staking their
Bone with an elected validator, delegators augment the overall
stake of that validator, indirectly boosting their chances ofbeing picked to propose blocks. Delegators are encouraged toassess validators on various metrics: performance track records,
security protocols, and community standing.

Section 11.5 Delegator Responsibilities
Delegators are aligned with their chosen validators’ outcomes.
Any rewards acquired by validators are proportionally allocatedto delegators post the deduction of a nominal commission for
the validator. Conversely, should a validator be slashed forneglectful or malicious activities, delegators bear a portion ofthat loss.

Section 11.6 Dynamic Validator Set
The validator roster is fluid, adjusting as validators enter or
depart, and as delegators reallocate their Bone. Initially, apredefined ensemble of validators supervises the network, but
as it evolves, an algorithm will determine validator selection.
This is based on staked tokens (personal and delegated), node
uptime, and historical behavior, ensuring a system that values
integrity and dedication.

61

THE ULTIMATE MEME: GENESIS OF THE SHIBA STATE

Section 11.7 Validator and Delegator Rewards
Rewards serve as motivation for validators and delegators to
uphold the network. These rewards are primarily sourced fromtransaction fees levied by the network, given during certain
checkpoints. A small portion of these rewards might be reserved
to bolster community initiatives and ongoing development.

Section 11.8 Governance
Validators play a pivotal role beyond just network maintenance.
They wield the authority to suggest modifications to the network’s parameters and are integral in the voting process for
decisions that resonate across the entire ecosystem. Their
staked Bone, along with TBONE from governance decisions,amplifies their influence in these key decisions.

Article 12. Institutional Structure
Preamble
Institutions are vital to our society. Thus, they have theirown document in the ShibPaper that goes into further detail.
A12 herein, gives a guiding system to follow within the larger

63THE ULTIMATE MEME: GENESIS OF THE SHIBA STATE

Section 12.5 Joining the System
For an institution to integrate into our societal framework, it
first undergoes a rigorous assessment by the Protection Branch
to ascertain its credibility. Post this validation, its potential
membership is deliberated upon by the Innovation Branch,leveraging a democratic voting mechanism. This rigorous
scrutiny safeguards our society’s core values, ensuring only
entities aligned with our vision and ethos find a place within.
Note, institutions that join pre-Shib Year 4 (and potentially
5 s.y.) may be able to surpass this system until the society iscompletely enacted on a global stage including governance, andthe tenets herein.

Section 12.6 Community Impact
Institutions do more than just contribute services or products;
they mold the state’s ethos, and envision its future trajectory.
Their innovations, both tangible and intangible, ignite inspiration, setting a beacon for what our society can achieve, thus
empowering every individual within.
This structural design ensures that institutions seamlessly
integrate, fostering a harmonious blend of innovation and theoverarching ambition of collective progress.

13.1.5 Reporting and Transparency:
To ensure accountability and transparency, each committee
should regularly report to the community about its actions,decisions, and progress on its mandate. This not only enables
Shibizens to stay informed but also holds the committees
accountable to the society. Unfair practices can be addresses
through our various checks and balances.

13.1.6 Dissolution and Rotation:
Upon completing their mandate or at the end of their tenure,committees are dissolved, and new ones are formed. This rotation ensures a continuous influx of fresh ideas and perspectives
and prevents the undue accumulation of power.

13.1.7 Conflict Resolution:
In cases of disagreements or conflicts within a committee, ahigher oversight council consisting of senior representatives

HOUND’S CONSTITUTION

13.2 Inter-Branch Auditing:
13.2.1 Purpose:
To promote transparency, trust, and accountability among
the branches, we implement an Inter-Branch Auditing system.
This process ensures that every branch performs its duties
responsibly and according to the established guidelines of oursociety.

13.2.2 Auditing Entities:
Each branch is subject to an audit by a selected group of members
from the other branches. These members, known as InterBranch Auditors, are chosen based on their expertise, reputation,and contributions to our society.

13.2.3 Auditing Process:The auditing process involves a thorough review of the branch’s
operations, activities, decisions, and financial transactions overa defined period. The auditors assess the branch’s compliancewith societal guidelines and its effectiveness in carrying out its
mandate.

13.2.4 Reporting:Upon completion of the audit, a detailed report is preparedand shared with the community. This report includes findings,
observations, and recommendations for improvement. It not
only fosters transparency but also helps the audited branch to67

THE ULTIMATE MEME: GENESIS OF THE SHIBA STATE

enhance its operations and serve the society better.

13.2.5 Action on Findings:
If any malpractices or deviations from societal guidelines arefound during the audit, the relevant branch is required to address them promptly. In case of serious violations, disciplinary
measures may be taken, including replacement of the branch’s
leadership or members.

13.2.6 Auditing Frequency:
To maintain an optimal balance between transparency and efficiency, audits are performed at regular intervals (for instance,
annually) or whenever deemed necessary by the society.

13.3 Appointment of Cross-Branch Committee Members:
13.3.1 Implementation of a Meritocracy:
As our society matures, a meritocratic system, supported byKarma and Reputation initiatives, will increasingly influence
the committee member selection process. This mechanism
evaluates the performance of committee members within theirdesignated roles, their active involvement in societal decisionmaking, and their overall contributions to society’s betterment.
The overriding purpose of this mechanism is to guarantee thatcommittee members embody not just the technical competencies required but also staunchly uphold our society’s ethos andvalues.

68

HOUND’S CONSTITUTION

13.3.2 Universality of the Karma and Reputation System:
While the Karma and Reputation initiatives play a significant
role in committee appointments, it’s crucial to underscore
their universal applicability within our society. Every Shibizen,
regardless of their role or branch affiliation, participates in the
Karma and Reputation system. The Karma initiative allows
automatic accrual of points based on predetermined societal
milestones and activities. In contrast, the Reputation initiative
encourages manual point accrual through validated activities,
including leaving reviews, performing good deeds, or participating in digital or real-world tasks where feedback can be given
by any Shibizen, AI, IoT devices, or even DAOs.

13.4 Cross-Branch Collaborations:13.4.1 Project-Based Collaborations:
For specific societal projects that require multi-disciplinary input, project-based collaborations are initiated. These temporary
teams are assembled by pulling in resources and expertise fromrelevant branches, ensuring the project benefits from a diversityof ideas and skills.

13.4.2 Inter-Branch Initiatives:
Beyond specific projects, our society encourages ongoing interbranch initiatives to cultivate a culture of cooperation andshared responsibility. This might include regular knowledgesharing sessions, communal brainstorming for future planning,or joint training and development programs.

problem-solving ensures a balanced, fair, and effective resolution. By involving representatives from each branch, our society
promotes a comprehensive approach to problem-solving thattakes into account all aspects of an issue and its impact on
different sectors of our society.

13.4.4 Decision-Making Process:In all cross-branch collaborations, decision-making follows
a process facilitated by the relevant token, depending on thenature of the collaboration. Every token within the Shiba Inu
Ecosystem serves its purpose, ensuring balanced representationand decision-making. By combining the strength of consensus
with the equality of democracy, we ensure that each branch has
an equal say in the outcomes of these collaborations.

3.5 Transparency and Accountability in Cross-Branch
Collaborations:
Transparency and accountability are foundational principles
of our society. These are especially critical in cross-branchcollaborations where decisions made can have wide-ranging
impacts. To foster a culture of openness and responsibility, allcollaborative activities are subject to these principles.

70

HOUND’S CONSTITUTION

13.5.1 Open Communication:
All cross-branch collaborations prioritize open and clear communication. Regular updates, comprehensive reporting, andopen channels of communication ensure that all Shibizens areaware of the ongoing collaborations, their objectives, progress,
and outcomes.

13.5.2 Documentation and Archiving:
To preserve the integrity and transparency of the decisionmaking process, all decisions and actions taken during collaborations are documented and archived. This creates a historical
record that can be referenced in future deliberations and ensures
accountability for decisions made.

13.5.3 Independent Audits:
To further reinforce accountability, cross-branch collaborations
are subject to independent audits by the Protection Branch.
These audits provide an unbiased assessment of the collaboration’s adherence to our society’s principles and the proper
utilization of resources. They ensure that all activities align with
our society’s objectives and uphold its values.

13.5.4 Grievance Redressal:
In the event of any disputes or grievances arising from crossbranch collaborations, a fair and transparent redressal mechanism is in place. This mechanism allows for the peacefulresolution of conflicts, ensuring that every Shibizen’s voice is71THE ULTIMATE MEME: GENESIS OF THE SHIBA STATE

heard and their rights are respected.

13.5.5 Feedback and Improvement:
Finally, to ensure continual growth and improvement, feedbackis actively sought from all stakeholders involved in the collaboration. This feedback is then used to refine the collaborative
process, enhancing its effectiveness and efficiency for future
initiatives.

13.6 Evolution of Cross-Branch Collaborations:
Cross-branch collaborations are dynamic entities that will
evolve with the progression of our society. The ethos of thisevolution is continual learning, adaptation, and innovation,
based on the changing needs and aspirations of the Shibizens.

13.6.1 Learning from Experience:
Every cross-branch collaboration is a learning opportunity. The
insights gained from these initiatives, whether they succeed orfail, are valuable in shaping future collaborations. A culture oflearning and growth permeates the entire process, encouraging
open-mindedness and adaptability.

13.6.2 Adapting to Change:
Our society is fluid and dynamic, and so too are the crossbranch collaborations. As societal needs, technology, and global
trends evolve, these collaborations must adapt to stay relevant
and effective. This is facilitated through periodic reviews and72

HOUND’S CONSTITUTION

updates to collaborative strategies and practices.

13.6.3 Fostering Innovation:
Innovation is a cornerstone of our society, and this spirit extends
to cross-branch collaborations. We encourage innovative ideas
and approaches in these collaborations, pushing the boundaries
of what’s possible and continually striving for improvement.

13.6.4 Celebrating Diversity and Inclusion:
As a global society, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of ourethos. In cross-branch collaborations, we celebrate the diversityof ideas, perspectives, and experiences, and we strive to create
an environment where all Shibizens feel included and valued.

13.6.5 Future-Forward Approach:
Ultimately, our cross-branch collaborations are future-forward,
always looking towards the horizon, and planning for thechallenges and opportunities that lie ahead. We are not justreactive; we are proactive in shaping the future of our society.

13.7 Dispute Resolution in Cross-Branch Collaborations:
Even with the best intentions and most thorough planning,
disagreements and disputes can arise in cross-branch collaborations. Our approach to dispute resolution is designed to ensure
fairness, transparency, and respect for all parties involved.

73

THE ULTIMATE MEME: GENESIS OF THE SHIBA STATE

13.7.1 Mediation:
The first step in resolving disputes is through mediation, facilitated by a neutral third-party. This mediator can be anindividual, a council, or even a DAO specifically designed forthis purpose. Their role is to help the parties involved reach aconsensus.

13.7.2 Arbitration:
If mediation fails to resolve the dispute, the issue can be escalated to arbitration. The arbitrator(s) will listen to the arguments from both sides and make a binding decision. The
arbitration process will follow the rules and procedures outlined
by our society to ensure fairness.

13.7.3 Voting:
In certain cases, disputes may be resolved through a voting
process, utilizing Token S. This democratic process allows thewider community to weigh in on the dispute, contributing to a
resolution that represents the will of the Shibizens.

13.7.4 Role of Protection Branch:
Throughout the dispute resolution process, the Protection
Branch plays a crucial role in ensuring the rights and interestsof all parties are respected, and that the process aligns with thevalues and principles of our society.

74

HOUND’S CONSTITUTION

13.7.5 Continuous Improvement:
Post-dispute reviews will be conducted to learn from the situation and to improve the dispute resolution process. This ensuresthat our approach to handling disputes evolves and adapts overtime, remaining effective and fair.

Financial Code of the DecentralizedState of Shibizens

Preamble
The Financial Code embodies the principles and standards
directing the fiscal undertakings and exchanges within oursocietal ecosystem. Comprehensive in its scope, this codeelaborates on the modus operandi of the full reserve system,
the orchestration of community endowments and loans, andthe intricacies of the token interchange.

Article 1. Full Reserve System
Central to our economic model, the society predominantly
operates on a full reserve banking framework for its primary
tokens – Shib, Bone, Leash and Treat, as well as any prospective
tokens to be inducted into the Shiba Inu Ecosystem. Thissignifies that the cumulative value of these circulating tokens
must consistently be buttressed by an asset reserve. Managed99

THE ULTIMATE MEME: GENESIS OF THE SHIBA STATE

through sophisticated smart contracts on our blockchain, thisensures meticulous, transparent, and accountable asset management. Notably, preceding our inception, a substantial shareof these assets has been equitably apportioned amongst the
global populace. In numerous instances, the full reserve is
implicit rather than explicit.
Contrary to the more conventional fractional reserve
paradigm, our cardinal financial system leans heavily on thefull reserve model. However, both the society and its Shibizens
recognize and unequivocally reserve the prerogative to harness
diverse economic structures, aiming for societal enhancement.
While certain establishments and entities might adopt banking
modalities divergent from full reserves, such practices, albeit
with these or alternate tokens, transcend the ambit of thisfoundational financial construct. To fortify the robustness andreliability of our financial scaffold, we advocate for assets to beentrenched on-chain, securely within smart wallets, or underself-custody.

Article 2. Multiple Currency Revenue
Even as our society heralds a token-centric economy, we fervently champion revenue genesis across a plethora of currencies.
This multi-currency foray invigorates our economic fabric,
thereby augmenting its resilience and vigor.

Article 3. Community Grants and Loans
A testament to our unwavering commitment to innovation,
mutual benefaction, and societal progression, we wish to see
various mechanisms of community endowments and loans.
100FINANCIAL CODE OF THE DECENTRALIZED STATE OF SHIBIZENS

Tailored to empower Shibizens in their contributions to societal
tapestry, the adjudication process for the disbursal of thesegrants and loans is inherently participative, egalitarian, andtransparent, guaranteeing an unbiased opportunity spectrum
for Shibizens.

We look forward to the implementation ofthis structure using the various implementations within the
ShibPaper in full.

Article 4. Financial Transparency and Anonymity
A ledger of all financial maneuvers and transactions finds its
place on our blockchain, Shibarium, epitomizing our commitment to utmost transparency and accountability. This allows
Shibizens an unfettered view into the fiscal heartbeat of oursociety, thereby fostering trust and safeguarding the integrityof our financial ecosystem. In juxtaposition, valuing the privacy
and security of our Shibizens, these records remain unattached
to any individual Shibizen, championing the cause of anonymity.

Article 5. Sustainable Financial Practices
Consonant with our societal pledge towards sustainability, we
ardently encourage Shibizens to champion sustainable financial
practices. This encompasses “DYOR”, judicious investments,
consumption paradigms, and resource allocation, synergistically contributing to the enduring fiscal vitality of our society
and Shibizens.
By embracing this code in its entirety, we cement the foundations of a just, transparent, and resilient financial infrastructure,indispensable for the flourishing of our decentralized society.

Final Words From The Author

So here we stand, a little over Shib Year 3 (and yes that counts
to make this document valid), and we have an full charter. “TheShiba Carta” as one our advisors calls it. The point of a document
this large is not to give you reading material for days, but instead,to serve as the bedrock that will stand for generations as we build
a better future.
It seems, so many in the world KNOW something must be
done to “save the world”, and no one seems to know what to do.
Now, a framework for a better world is here. A system, process,and set of technologies combined in a fashion to allow a newworld to emerge, decentralized, and remain perpetually. This is
my greatest work, and gift to the world, and now it’s your turn.
Who are you? What role will you take in this new system?
Gamer? Influencer? Family man or woman? Hard worker
tired of b.s. (before Shib)? Or will you bring your existing
business on-chain and help us grow our GNP? Will you becomea councilperson or lead an initiative? The choice is up to you.
But destiny waits for no one. So pick up the “banner” and waveit.
As stated in this document, this isn’t an immediate fix. I
expect at least a year to complete, ratify, and finalize an earlyversion of this document, and at that time, with the finalizationof Ryoshi’s other principles and keys, we will emerge a full state,
Shiba State! (Hopefully at that time, 4 s.y.) we will have an106

amazing SHIBACON!
I’ve always believed that if I worked hard enough, built
something truly fantastic for the world, and did my best to berighteous in the process (doing my best), I’d be blessed beyond
compare, and surely this is the fate you’ve afforded me and theteam of decentralized people, tools, and communities we alignwith.
For those who stood from the beginning, putting in endlesshours, “wen” this document lives on, and our system grows andprospers, you, or any body, deems it prudent to enrich us, wewill leave new public “prosperity” wallets below for your to do
so. I thank you in advance.
It’s with my fullest heart, once again, I write you and joinamongst your ranks as a proud Shibizen of our new state!
HAIL SHIB!
Sincerely,
Shy
