Shib Classic

0.5/10

Ethereum Classic naming convention applied to Shiba Inu. Claims to be the 'classic' SHIB. Neither classic nor particularly notable. Dead project.

Overview

Shib Classic borrows the Ethereum Classic naming convention to create yet another Shiba Inu derivative. The 'Classic' suffix implies the token is somehow the original or a return to fundamentals — neither claim has any basis. The original Shiba Inu needs no 'Classic' version.

The project generated zero interest. The SHIB community had no reason to engage with an unauthorized fork of their token's branding, and the 'Classic' naming trick had already been overused across the memecoin space. Complete project death from launch.

Risk Factors

  • Misleading naming convention implying false originality
  • Zero community interest or engagement
  • No development, no liquidity, no utility
  • Unauthorized SHIB derivative with no differentiation
  • Token may be permanently illiquid with no path to recovery
  • No audit, no documentation, no transparency of any kind

Conclusion

Shib Classic is a dead SHIB derivative using a tired naming convention. The 0.5 score reflects total project failure from day one.
