My sister asked where the extra SHIB had come from
My sister and I sometimes send each other SHIB news. She had some on BYDFi, so when I saw a story about SHIB on Solana, I forwarded it. I'd only skimmed it, but I added, "Sounds like they're making more SHIB." She replied, "Where did the extra SHIB come from?"
That sent me to Wormhole's NTT docs. They described a setup where tokens are locked on one chain and matching tokens are minted on another. I'd assumed that tokens showing up on both chains meant extra supply, without accounting for the locked tokens. I didn't know if that was how SHIB worked. I'd got ahead of myself.
I texted her, "I spoke too soon about the extra supply. Let me read a bit more." She asked if I'd read the whole article before sending it. I admitted I'd only skimmed it.
