The SHIB developer also shared a tweet from Shiba Inu's official website of something big brewing for the Shiba Inu ecosystem. In late December, during an AMA session on Twitter, Queenie, the official Discord moderator, hinted at a big surprise in 2022. "We do have a big surprise when we enter 2022. So, that's going to be the last little tidbit that I drop," she stated without disclosing further details.
