Shiba Inu Developer Discusses Importance of Karma in Ecosystem

During a recent podcast appearance, Shadowhunter, a Shiba Inu developer, explained the significance of karma for the ecosystem, particularly for the project’s decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).

Karma is the first technology that the Shiba Inu team will be releasing in its current new phase. This feature will assign trust scores based on the level of activity across various applications. Users will receive both positive and negative scores; those who misuse the platforms may be simply removed due to negative karma.

It is designed to provide insights on every user and all of their activities within the ecosystem. Shadowhunter stated, “Karma will be a trust score for all the dApps, everything that we are building. In the end, karma will show us if the user is trustworthy or not.”

Additionally, Shiba Inu developers will also introduce a reputation score, which will be more closely related to user roles within the ecosystem. Shadowhunter emphasized that “Karma works like an XP system—just like in gaming. It will be used across our ecosystem and, combined with Reputation and Aura, will help foster trust.”

Notably, karma will cover all transactions performed by users within the ecosystem. Karma scores and levels are currently in the beta stage and may still change, according to Dhairya.
