About

The humans behind the howl

A small team with a real cause — and names, faces and links to prove it.

Craig MacKenzie

FOUNDER & DEVELOPER

Started ShibDingo to fuse two obsessions: blockchain engineering and the Australian wild. Builds the contracts, owns the vision — transparency, inclusivity, sustainability.

Turns the mission into art people want on their walls — from the identity system to the upcoming NFT collections.

Whitepaper

The full technical and governance specification — token functions, protective mechanisms, staged roadmap. Versioned, dated, downloadable.

Whitepaper v2.0 — publishing with the contract

Questions, answered straight

Is the token live?

Not yet. $SHIBD is pre-launch; the contract address will be published on this site and pinned on X simultaneously. Anything claiming to be $SHIBD before that moment is a scam.

What's the transaction tax?

Zero. $SHIBD has no tax on buys, sells or transfers — a clean, immutable contract. Conservation is funded by a 12% treasury allocation locked at genesis (vesting over 24 months), the project's LP fee share, the supporter store, and burn-to-adopt NFT mints — not by skimming trades.

Where does the conservation money actually go?

Through one public multisig wallet, out as grants to named dingo programs first — then toward the flagship goal: purchasing land for a dingo safe zone, held by a dedicated conservation entity and protected by an in-perpetuity covenant on the title. Every outflow is published with receipts on the Mission page.

Is buying $SHIBD a donation?

No. $SHIBD is a memecoin — buying it is a speculative purchase that promises nothing and donates nothing. Conservation is funded by the project's own treasury. If you want to directly support the mission today, the supporter store is open — and if you want a tax-deductible donation, give to a registered wildlife charity.

Will you promise the price goes up?

No — and run from anyone who does. Burns reduce supply; that's arithmetic, not a guarantee. Crypto is volatile and you can lose what you put in.

Who controls the funds?

The Pack proposes and votes; a governance body executes with published rationale. Liquidity is locked, team tokens vest on a public schedule, and the conservation wallet is traceable end-to-end.

Do dingoes actually howl?

They do — it's their main voice. Dingoes rarely bark; instead they moan, bark-howl and snuff, and a single howl carries up to 6 kilometres across the outback. Packs chorus-howl at dusk and dawn to find each other and strengthen their bond. That's why we call our announcements Howls: a howl is literally how a dingo calls its pack together. (And no — nothing really howls at the moon. That's folklore.)

How do I get involved before launch?

Join the First Howl waitlist, follow @shibdingo on X, join the Discord — and if you just want to help dingoes today, the supporter store is already open.
