## What Is ShibaSwap? [ShibaSwap](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/shibaswap/) is the [decentralized exchange](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/de/glossary/decentralized-exchange-dex) of the Shiba Inu ([SHIB](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/shiba-inu/)) coin, a popular dog-themed meme coin inspired by the success of Dogecoin and claiming to be a “[Dogecoin](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/dogecoin/) killer.” In November 2021, Shiba Inu briefly surpassed Dogecoin in market capitalization, partly thanks to the DEX.
