Kusama said that Shiba Inu has overgrown its status as meme coin and became a Network State. He also reminded the SHIB community that a few days ago, the team released an update that now allows any government, city, business or person to move to Web3 from Web2.
Shytoshi wrote: “I can now say I have accomplished my initial goal with flying colors. Shib remains in the top 20 tokens, Shibarium has 800M flawless transactions and so much more.”
What will happen from now on is that Kusama will "begin leading the charge towards Global Adoption."
