UAE Ministry of Energy to use Shibu Inu decentralized operating system

The UAE Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MoEI) has partnered with Shiba Inu, whose official mascot is DogeCoin, to advance Web3 solutions in energy infrastructure using Shibu Inu’s decentralized operating system.

As per a press release on UAE Ministry of Energy website, the partnership will leverage Shiba Inu’s broad range of Web3 technologies to support public service efficiency, green infrastructure enhancements, and citizen-focused governance models. Shiba Inu’s Operational System (ShibOS) will unify development across MoEI operations.

As per Shiba Inu website, the next gen operating system delivers turnkey solutions for Web2 to Web3 transitions. The Shib Alpha Layer
is a modular rollup abstraction layer for ultra-fast transactions, achieving sub-100ms finality and high TPS to power a global network state. While the FHE-Powered Identity Stack offers a privacy-first on-chain solution providing verifiable credentials and one-time KYC, secured by fully homomorphic encryption.

H.E. Engineer Sharif Al Olama, Undersecretary for Energy and Petroleum Affairs at MoEI, noted that the partnership is a pivotal moment in their journey to redefining governmental services. He added that the Ministry aims to deliver transformative solutions that benefit both citizens and the wider community with sustainability, connectivity and digital excellence.

Shytoshi Kusama, Lead Visionary for the Shiba Inu team, added “We’re thrilled the Ministry sees Shiba Inu as a cornerstone for next-generation infrastructure.” He believes this showcases the power of Shiba Inu in delivering groundbreaking solutions.

The UAE government launched its Blockchain Strategy 2021 back in 2018 to capitalize on Blockchain technology and transform 50% of government transactions. The UAE government had expected that this strategy would save more than $3 billion in transactions and document processing, $108 million in printed documents annually, and 77 million work hours.

In January 2025, MarkNtel Advisors noted that the blockchain industry in the UAE is experiencing remarkable growth, with an annual rate of 42%.

Over the past week, blockchain initiatives have seen renewed momentum, with significant developments such as the UAE KYC Blockchain platform, led by the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) and powered by Norbloc Blockchain, welcoming its first insurance member, Etihad Credit Insurance (ECI).

Recently, the Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ) and the Dubai Land Department (DLD) have joined forces to promote the use of modern technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain, within the real estate and property technology (Proptech) sectors.

This all comes as Elon Musk was reported to be considering using blockchain technology at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to track Federal government spending. Blockchain might be used to monitor federal spending, make payments, secure data and manage government buildings.

DOGE’s goal is to update federal software and technology to boost efficiency and productivity within the federal government.
