Pseudonymous personality Shytoshi Kusama has shared details about the upcoming “Karma” system

In an X post on Thursday, Kusama shared a recent podcast where they and Shadowhunter, a prominent developer within the ecosystem, discussed the mechanics and vision of the so-called Karma technology.

In a recent X post, Shytoshi Kusama, a pseudonymous personality known for leading the Shiba Inu SHIB/USD project, shared details about the upcoming "Karma" system. This system is designed to be a trust identifier for anyone interacting with the Shiba Inu ecosystem.

During an interview on the "SHIB: Unchained" podcast, Kusama and Shadowhunter, a prominent developer within the ecosystem, discussed the technology in detail.

"As for me, Karma is something very crucial to our ecosystem. It’s going to be like an identity for trust," Shadowhunter said.

The developer explained that Karma would assign a trust score to users based on their interactions with different products within the ecosystem, such as ShibaSwap and Metaverse. This score would be linked to various aspects, reflecting the credibility of users and their engagement with the platform.

"That trust score will be associated with a lot of things, but majorly shows how valued our users are," Shadowhunter added.

The concept of Karma was intriguing as it introduced a trust system in a supposedly trustless environment.

"But as we know, we deal with so many scams and scammers in the system. Having a trust-based system to help understand who you are dealing with is very important," Kusama said.

Kusama compared the idea to the seller rating system that online marketplace eBay Inc. (NASDAQ:EBAY) uses to assist customers.

"Overtime, it really helps you know who and what your likelihood of success will be. I’m super excited to see it launch and see what the community would do with it."

The real identity of Kusama has been a subject of significant interest within the cryptocurrency circle, and they disguise their true self with masks during public appearances.

The Shiba Inu project launched its 4th ecosystem token, TREAT, earlier this year to further its founder Ryoshi's vision.
