In a follow-up post, the Shiba Inu lead acknowledged that he has been shy and quiet over the past few years, noting that it is time for a change.
The remark suggests that Kusama is ready to step out of his comfort zone and become more active, specifically to advocate and promote Web3.
He expressed gratitude to the IVS Crypto 2024 team for its patience and eagerly anticipated meeting Shiba Inu community members at the event.
I’ve been quite shy and quiet these past few years… but it’s time that changes, and we show the world the importance of Web3. I very much so look forward to seeing you in Kyoto #shibarmy.
Thank you to the team at @IVS_Official for being awesome and patient. KANPAI!

Shiba Inu Secures IVS Crypto 2024 Gold Sponsor Title
The development comes a few days after Shiba Inu announced that it secured a Gold Sponsor title for the event. This could enhance Shiba Inu’s Web3 presence, allowing it to network and potentially foster new partnerships with other industry players.
As reported earlier, Shiba Inu’s Gold Sponsor title could also give the dog-themed cryptocurrency more visibility via a dedicated booth. This opportunity would enable the team to showcase its potential, thus fostering widespread adoption.
For context, IVS Crypto 2024 KYOTO is a three-day event slated to be held from July 4 to 6 at the KYOTO Pulse Plaza under the theme ‘Cross the Boundaries.’ It is recognized as one of Japan’s largest Web3 conferences, focusing on the intersection of Web3 and blockchain with artificial intelligence, entertainment, and gaming.
Some of the speakers include Mo Shaikh, Aptos Labs co-founder and CEO; Ray Chan, Memeland CEO; Serbastien Borget, The Sandbox co-founder and CEO; Jeffrey Zirlin, Sky Mavis co-founder; as well as Genki Oda, Executive Manager at SBI Holdings.
