ShibaStonks, a next-generation AI token built on the Ethereum blockchain, ushers in a new era of democratized finance and inspired by the fusion of two cultural phenomena: the ever-growing popularity of Shiba Inu dog-themed coins and the massive Grand Theft Auto (GTA) gaming community. Our mission is to establish ShibaStonks as the leading meme coin for the GTA inspired generation, fostering a passionate community and leveraging the power of viral marketing within the doge-coin enthusiast base.

The meme coin market, while undeniably entertaining, is plagued by two major shortcomings:

1. Fleeting Hype: Many meme coins rely solely on short-lived social media trends and celebrity endorsements. Their value often skyrockets quickly, only to plummet just as fast, leaving investors holding the bag.
2. Limited Usefulness: Beyond their meme status, most meme coins offer little to no real-world utility. They function primarily as speculative assets, lacking any intrinsic value or long-term growth potential.
3. The Web3 Coin Deluge: The cryptocurrency landscape is further saturated by a recent trend of Web3 and blockchain companies issuing their own tokens. However, for many of these projects, the purpose and utility of their coins remain opaque to investors and users.

ShibaStonks addresses these issues by:

Absolutely. ShibaStonks is deeply committed to community engagement and participation. Our tokenomics, launch strategy, and governance model are all designed to empower and reward our community members.

A Strong, Unified Community: We bridge the gap between doge-coin enthusiasts and the massive GTA fanbase, fostering a passionate and engaged community driven by a shared love for memes and gaming. This diverse community fosters long-term engagement and organic growth, unlike fleeting hype cycles.

Real-World Utility & Functionality: ShibaStonks is not just a meme; it’s a gateway to an exciting crypto gambling world and play-to-earn experiences. We plan to integrate ShibaStonks into our upcoming bet exchange platform, other blockchain games, especially gambling games  inspired by the GTA universe. This provides a tangible use case for the token, driving demand and creating a sustainable growth model.

The ShibaStonks DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) is the core governance body that will control the future of the ShibaStonks ecosystem. Becoming a Founding Member is simple: the first 15,000 individuals who follow both the ShibaStonks Twitter and Discord accounts will automatically be granted Founding Member status. As a Founding Member, you will be eligible for early rewards, participation in governance decisions, and additional token bonuses.

The first 15,000 people who follow ShibaStonks on Twitter and Discord will become DAO Founding Members. These members will collectively receive 10% of the total ShibaStonks token supply, distributed equally among all 15,000 members. The distribution will take place once both social media platforms reach the 15,000-follower milestone.

After the distribution, tokens will undergo a 7-month vesting period, meaning members can claim their share immediately after this timeframe is over to encourage long-term commitment to the project.

DAO members who participate in the ShibaStonks fair launch will be eligible for a bonus of 5% of the total token supply, distributed proportionally based on their participation in the sale.

• Example of Proportional Distribution: If a DAO member buys 100 tokens during the fair launch, and another member buys 50 tokens, and the total number of tokens purchased by DAO members is 150, the first member will receive 66.66% of the 5% bonus (100/150), while the second member will receive 33.33% (50/150).

• Vesting Period: The 5% bonus will also have a 7-month vesting period, with tokens unlocked after this timeframe is over.

To verify your participation in the fair launch, DAO members will have 7 days after the launch ends to submit their Ethereum wallet addresses via email. The Etherscan.io platform will be used to verify the amount of ShibaStonks tokens each member purchased during the fair launch.

It’s important that DAO members use the same wallet they registered with for the DAO, as this is the wallet that will be used to verify contributions.

Once the verification is complete, the proportionate 5% distribution will begin, and tokens will undergo a 7-month vesting period.

The vesting period is a mechanism to encourage long-term engagement and prevent large sell-offs by early adopters. Both the initial 10% distribution to DAO Founding Members and the 5% bonus from the fair launch will have a 7-month vesting period. Tokens can be claimed after this time is over, allowing members to access them, ensuring ongoing participation in the ShibaStonks ecosystem.

To be eligible for the 10% distribution, you must be one of the first 15,000 individuals to follow ShibaStonks on Twitter and Discord. For the 5% distribution, you must participate in the fair launch and submit your Ethereum wallet address within the 7-day window after the fair launch ends. Make sure you use the same wallet you registered with as a DAO member to verify your contribution and receive your share of the 5% bonus.

Once the project has been live for a year, full governance will transition to the DAO. The ShibaStonks DAO will govern the project’s key decisions, such as new developments, partnerships, and any changes to the ecosystem.

All proposals will be made and voted on through Snapshot.org, a transparent platform for decentralized governance. Voting power is proportional to the number of ShibaStonks tokens a member holds, giving greater influence to those more invested in the project. The DAO will have the power to propose and approve changes that directly impact the future of ShibaStonks.

Even if you don’t meet the voting eligibility threshold, you can still participate in AMAs, community discussions, and provide feedback on proposals. Regular engagement with the community will help you stay informed, while continued participation in public sales, events, or token accrual will allow you to eventually gain voting rights.

For members who do hold enough tokens, the ShibaStonks DAO will regularly propose key initiatives and updates, which you can vote on via Snapshot.org to influence the direction of the project.
