SHIBA DOGS LUNCH XIAOBAI

The Spaces spotlights a community-led memecoin project called Zhao Bai (also referred to as Shao Bai/SAO in the discussion), positioned as the “brother” of a famous Shiba Inu social profile. Host Sanders and co-hosts introduce Yongi, who narrates how a community takeover (CTO) followed an initial dev exit, and how an organic growth strategy lifted the project from ~38k to a 3.2M ATH with ~2k+ real holders before retracing into consolidation. Core themes include building a resilient, fun, and transparent community; bridging Web2 followers into Web3; focusing on Asia (especially Chinese) markets; and structuring real-world charity collaborations, notably with “Andy Leon,” to add legitimacy and broader exposure. The team emphasizes contract safety signals (renounced, LP burned, 0% tax as highlighted by hosts), strong liquidity ratios (15–20%), and a staged “pipeline” approach to reach 5–10M floors. Marketing steps include CG fast track completed and CMC fast track planned, with strategic partnerships sought. Discussion covers CTO governance realities (admin morale, execution discipline, and trust-building), a developing roadmap with charity education, and due-diligence reminders against impersonators. A brief Q&A and endorsements from community figures reinforce momentum, with an invitation to join Telegram and attend future Spaces.

Twitter Space Briefing: Community Takeover of “Xiao Bai” (aka Zhao/Shao Bai)

Participants and Roles

• Sanders (Host)
• Ragnarok / Rag (Co-host)
• Yonge (Project lead and spokesperson for Xiao Bai; emerged from top holder to CTO lead)
• Navari (Listener; identifies as “Saidon” on Telegram)
• Devas (aka “The Bus”; Shiba OG community figure; guest commenter)

Overview

This Space introduced and examined “Xiao Bai” (also referred to as Zhao Bai/Shao Bai; a Chinese dog-themed memecoin project). The session focused on the project’s origin as a community takeover (CTO), its early growth and current consolidation, community operations, contract status, partnerships, and forward strategy—especially charity-driven collaboration and Asia market expansion. The hosts emphasized due diligence and official links to avoid scams. The project lead (Yonge) framed the vision as building a “blue-chip” memecoin through sustained community effort, real-world collaborations, and Web2-to-Web3 bridging.

Project Narrative and Positioning

• Core narrative: Xiao Bai is pitched as the “brother” to a well-known internet Shiba Inu (shares the same social media profile/followers/images, per Yonge), making it a “proven” meme narrative by adjacency.
• Rebranding: The team rebranded visuals and content to be more meme-friendly and engaging to broaden appeal and sustain community interest.
• Fun + Safe Space: Emphasis on keeping the community fun, positive, and creative to retain members while building a long-term project ethos.

Community Takeover (CTO) Origin and Structure

• Trigger: Original developer went inactive/disappeared after an initial run-up (a common rug scenario around 300–400k market cap as described by Yonge).
• Initial role: Yonge entered as a top 5–10 holder based on community potential, not dev credibility or market cap.
• Execution: When momentum waned, Yonge assumed leadership on a Sunday, rapidly organizing the CTO, paying for initial listing updates himself (e.g., Dex tools updates) to signal seriousness, and setting a leadership and admin structure.
• Team dynamics: Early CTO phases see many participants, but attrition is common as prices rise and some sell out. Yonge focuses on morale, structure, and consistent VC presence to keep execution tight and community aligned.
• Contract control: While Yonge did not deeply detail the transfer mechanics, hosts highlighted that the contract is renounced, LP is burned, and tax is 0%, which aligns with a community-led, non-custodial control model.

Growth, Metrics, and Market Status

• Holder growth: ~400 holders at takeover to nearly ~2,100 holders (described as organic, non-bot).
• Price/volume: From ~38k market cap (CTO inception, a US holiday Sunday) to an ATH of ~3.2M MC with ~2M daily volume (near 100x at peak). Currently retraced and consolidating around ~900k MC per host’s live check.
• Liquidity: Liquidity ratio reported in the 15–20% range—positioned as “exceptional” by Yonge to attract larger buyers and reduce slippage risk.
• Listings and verification: CG fast-track reportedly done; CMC fast-track is in progress. DexTools updates completed early; targeting Etherscan trending and broader marketing phases.
• Philosophy on cycles: Retracements are normal post-launch; consolidate and build during quiet phases. The team views consolidation as an opportunity to strengthen distribution and community conviction.

Technology and Contract Posture

• Contract renounced, LP burned, 0% tax (per hosts’ due diligence notes during the Space).
• Implication: Reduces centralized control and rug vectors, aligns with community-led governance.

Community Operations and Culture

• Telegram described as “clean, positive, and highly engaged.”
• Multiple daily VCs run by Yonge for updates, transparency, and motivation.
• Emphasis on education and clear communication to rebuild trust in the memecoin space—highlighting a disciplined, execution-first ethos over short-term hype.

Partnerships, Charity, and Web2–Web3 Bridging

• Web2-to-Web3: Objective to bridge the dog’s real-life owner/followers into the decentralized ecosystem via shared social accounts and influencer outreach.
• Charity vector: Active collaboration discussion with “Andy Leon” (well-known Asia blockchain figure as described), with a specific aim to build a charity/education program that does real-world good while attracting legitimate exposure.
  • Track record: Yonge cites prior experience running a successful charity project in 2021 (peaked ~70M MC; largely organic; heavy grind), which he used to earn Andy’s trust.
  • Process: Yonge has had multiple personal VCs and a phone call with Andy, including doxxing himself privately to establish trust. Talks include building a roadmap to implement charity partnerships scaled by market cap milestones (1M → 5–10M MC and beyond) to time growth with collaboration announcements.
  • Rationale: Big dog-themed projects often leverage animal welfare charity for exposure; the team seeks genuine, mutually beneficial execution rather than superficial tie-ins.
• Asia focus: Intends to excel in Asia (particularly Chinese market) given the “Chinese dog” identity. Team includes Chinese natives to help with local outreach and comms. Partnerships (e.g., with Andy) are viewed as pivotal for Chinese KOLs, whales, and listings access.

Marketing and Exposure Plans

• Stacked marketing phases planned post-verifications (CG done; CMC fast-track next) and Etherscan trending.
• Strategic partnerships: Continued collaboration with hosts (Sanders, Ragnarok) and other OG communities to expand network effects.
• Broader social: Hosts note strong dog-related hype on platforms like TikTok (hundreds of millions of views for related memes), which could be leveraged.

Risk Management and Due Diligence

• Scams warning: Hosts stress verifying official links to avoid impersonators. Official website shared during Space: “shaobai.digital”. Official Twitter handle mentioned as “ShaoBaiCTO”. Community urged to use pinned posts and verified sources.
• CTO ambiguity: Both hosts and Yonge acknowledge “CTO” claims can be misused across crypto; transparency, verifications, and observed community leadership are key validation points.
• Investment posture: Patience through consolidation; avoid buying peaks if unfamiliar; expect volatility; assess fundamentals (distribution, liquidity, community commitment, deliverables).

Community Q&A and External Endorsements

• Navari (“Saidon” on Telegram) invited all listeners to visit the Telegram, conduct due diligence, and consider joining if it fits their thesis, emphasizing long-term commitment.
• Devas (“The Bus,” Shiba OG) endorsed the project’s community effort and Yonge’s work ethic. Not typically involved in many projects but noted strong contribution dynamics here and is supportive of further growth.

Key Highlights and Takeaways

• Authentic CTO: Project leadership emerged from top community holders post-dev abandonment, structured a leadership core, and prioritized morale and transparency.
• Early traction: Rapid climb to 3.2M MC and ~2,100 holders, now consolidating at ~900k MC with a strong liquidity ratio and continuing volume.
• Secure posture: Contract renounced, LP burned, 0% tax—aligned with community-first governance and risk reduction.
• Strategic arc: Build toward blue-chip status via charity-driven exposure, education, and credible Asia market partnerships; staged marketing aligned with listing milestones (CG/CMC) and Etherscan trends.
• Web2–Web3 bridge: Active attempt to leverage the dog’s social media profile adjacency and real-life owner/followers to onboard new users.

Next Steps and Calls to Action

• For listeners: Join the Telegram, attend daily VCs, verify official links, and evaluate the project’s culture and execution firsthand.
• For the team: Continue CMC fast-track, finalize and publish a charity collaboration roadmap (with milestones), expand Asia KOL engagement, and keep stacking marketing initiatives as the consolidation resolves.
• Upcoming Spaces: Hosts plan regular “Shiba Breakfast” Spaces on Saturdays and expressed interest in future dedicated sessions for Xiao Bai.
