$MARU pays tribute to the legacy of MARUTARO, the famous Shiba Inu with millions of followers worldwide. Born in 2007, MARU became a global social media sensation and even a tourism ambassador in Japan. Though MARUTARO passed away in 2024, his legacy of joy and positivity continues through $MARU, a token created to honor his influence and iconic status as a beloved figure.

After the original developer left the project, power shifted into the hands of the people! The $MARU community took control, turning this project into a real CTO.
