Following a major IT outage caused by a software update from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, Shytoshi Kusama, the lead developer of the Shiba Inu project, issued a message to the SHIB community.
The outage, which impacted critical infrastructure across various industries like banking and aviation, highlighted the potential vulnerabilities of centralized systems.
CrowdStrike Outage Exposes Centralized System Risks
CrowdStrike is a widely used cybersecurity provider, trusted by many Fortune 500 companies for its software that detects and prevents cyberattacks. However, a recent update from the company triggered a cascading effect, disrupting IT systems globally. This incident served as a springboard for Kusama to advocate for decentralized solutions.
In a message posted on his X account, Kusama argued that the global outage underscores the need for a “new worldwide operating system” that is not reliant on centralized authorities. He emphasized the potential of Web3 technologies, which are inherently decentralized and designed to be more resilient against such disruptions.
Shiba Inu Tour Focuses on Web3 Transition, Not Just Token Promotion
Kusama further clarified the purpose of the Shiba Inu project’s ongoing “treating yourself” world tour, which has garnered significant viewership on social media platforms. He explained that the tour goes beyond promoting the SHIB token itself.
It aims to encourage a broader shift away from the limitations of Web2, the current iteration of the internet characterized by centralized control. Web3, on the other hand, promises a more user-centric, secure, and innovative online experience.

He expressed confidence in the project’s team of builders and believers, who have been working on developing decentralized systems that could mitigate the risks associated with centralized infrastructure.
Kusama concluded his message by emphasizing his belief that the recent outage is a stark reminder of the need for Web3 solutions. He positioned the Shiba Inu ecosystem as a potential “operating system of the future” built on the principles of decentralization supported by Web3 technologies.
