TL;DR
- The creation of a strategic hub for blockchain innovation in the US, called SHIB, is proposed
- The plan includes economic incentives, talent development, advanced infrastructure and sustainable practices.
- The initiative seeks to position the US as a global leader in blockchain technology and sustainable development.
The innovative plan known as the Strategic Hub for Innovation in Blockchain (SHIB) seeks to position the United States as a global center for blockchain technology and sustainable development.
Presented to the future US president and the global cryptocurrency community by Shiba Inu project leader Shytoshi Kusama, SHIB proposes to transform an American city into the “Silicon Valley of cryptocurrencies.”
This ambitious project highlights the potential of blockchain not only as an economic driver but also as a strategic tool for U.S. security and technological leadership.
According to Kusama‘s original document, the SHIB aims to boost economic growth, encourage job development in advanced sectors, and strengthen national security through technological innovations.
The project also emphasizes the importance of integrating sustainable practices, which would help the United States become a leader in responsible environmental technologies.
Additionally, the plan suggests tax incentives and investment programs to attract blockchain startups and research centers.
These incentives include tax reductions for technology companies, subsidies for SMEs and financing programs.
A Comprehensive Plan for Shib Innovation
The project covers several key areas, such as the development of physical and digital infrastructure, the creation of a highly skilled workforce and the implementation of a flexible but secure regulatory framework.
The infrastructure includes research laboratories, collaborative workspaces and sustainable offices, as well as its own blockchain network where new applications can be tested efficiently and at low costs.
This development could have an estimated cost of between 1.3 and 2.35 billion dollars over a period of 5 to 10 years.
At the work level, SHIB proposes alliances with local universities and specific educational programs to train professionals in blockchain.
It also envisages the establishment of a “regulatory sandbox” where companies can test new technologies under regulatory supervision.
The plan also highlights the need to attract international talent and offer retraining programs for workers in declining industries.
The proposal also suggests a global marketing campaign and the organization of high-profile events, such as international conferences and hackathons, to attract foreign investors and position the US as a benchmark for innovation.
If implemented, SHIB could create thousands of high-quality jobs and make a significant contribution to U.S. economic and technological development, with projections of up to $5 billion annually in sustained economic contribution.
By implementing SHIB, the United States would not only strengthen its leadership in blockchain, but would also establish a model for long-term technological and sustainable growth, aligned with its national priorities and environmental commitments.
