What is PawSwap (PAW)?
PawSwap is a decentralized exchange that plans to build a DEX on Shiba Inu’s Shibarium layer-2 network whenever it releases. However, the lead developer of ShibaSwap, Shytoshi Kusama, distanced himself from PAW, saying that he and the SHIB team have nothing to do with PawSwap.
Nonetheless, PawSwap is a decentralized swap on its own with no connection to the SHIB team. They will only build their project on the Shibarium network when it is launched.
