About Shiba Inu (SHIB)
Shiba Inu (SHIB) is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain, launched in August 2020 by a pseudonymous creator known as Ryoshi, with no private sale and no venture funding. It has no base chain of its own; Ethereum's proof-of-stake validators secure it. Ryoshi has said he holds no SHIB and stepped back in 2021, leaving the token in the community's hands.
Around SHIB the community has built a wider ecosystem: ShibaSwap, its own decentralised exchange, and Shibarium, an Ethereum layer-2 network that went live in August 2023, paused briefly and relaunched days later. A three-token line-up runs alongside it, with LEASH and the governance token BONE, plus the Shiboshis NFT collection.
In May 2021, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, who had been sent a large allocation of SHIB, donated most of it to charitable causes including an India COVID relief fund. The Shiba Inu guide has the full history.

FAQ
Buying Shiba Inu: FAQs
How many SHIB do I have to buy at once?
Only $1 AUD, so the minimum is a formality rather than a limit. Enter an amount in Australian dollars and the screen shows the SHIB it buys at the live AUD rate.
How soon does SHIB show up after I pay?
Straight away once the order fills, which happens on confirmation. The slower parts come earlier: the once-off identity check, then the deposit, where a PayID transfer usually clears in minutes and a bank transfer takes longer to bring your AUD across.
Can I sell SHIB back to Australian dollars on Digital Surge?
Yes. You can sell SHIB back to Australian dollars from your Digital Surge account whenever you like, as the market trades around the clock. The AUD lands in your balance, ready to withdraw to an Australian bank or to move into another coin.
How is SHIB different from LEASH and BONE?
SHIB is the ecosystem's base community token. LEASH and BONE are separate tokens in the same Shiba Inu project: LEASH has a much smaller supply, while BONE is used for governance voting. This page, and the order you place here, are for SHIB itself.
Does SHIB leave Digital Surge over Shibarium?
No. Digital Surge lists SHIB as an ERC-20 token, so withdrawals travel Ethereum and need an Ethereum address. Shibarium is a separate layer-2 the project built on Ethereum, not the network your SHIB moves on here.
Where's the live SHIB price shown?
Up the top of this page, in Australian dollars, and it moves as the market does. The chart adds SHIB's history in AUD, and the converter prices any SHIB or AUD amount you enter before you place an order.
