Shibarium, a Web3 social protocol created by ex-TikTok engineers, has reached over 100 million daily active users, yet SHIB, its native token, plays no core role in the ecosystem. This disconnect reveals a fundamental issue in Web3: adoption does not guarantee token value. If users interact with Shibarium without needing SHIB for fees, governance, or rewards, the token lacks intrinsic demand. Successful Web3 projects must ensure token integration into core functions, whether through staking, payments, or exclusive access. Otherwise, adoption alone may not translate into long-term token value appreciation.
