SHIBA INU $SHIB

1 quadrillion SHIB supply. Anonymous founder ('Ryoshi') sent 50% to Vitalik Buterin's address as a 'we trust him not to dump' trust signal — Vitalik burned ~90% (410T SHIB) and donated the rest to COVID relief in May 2021. The other 50% went into a Uniswap V2 LP with keys destroyed.

Key takeaway

The 'send half to Vitalik' move is a one-time trust play that reset the credibility bar — it offloaded the founder's exit risk to the most-watched ETH address in the world. Founders considering this pattern should know it ONLY works for memecoins on Ethereum, only with Vitalik (every other variant has been read as a transparent gimmick), and the Vitalik burn cemented SHIB's legitimacy more than any tokenomics document could have.
