# Intro to Kuro Shiba!

## What is KURO?

Kuro Shiba (KURO) is a creator-driven DeFi project and Harmony grantee, featuring original artwork, custom design, and blockchain innovation at the exciting intersection of NFTs and DeFi. KURO is inspired by the founder’s love for her real-life black and tan shiba inu, with an aesthetic borrowed from 1990s Sanrio and Bandai. ✨🍙🍡

KURO fairly launched on June 25, 2021 as a community token that rewarded holders and liquidity providers with adorable NFT airdrops, but has since grown to be leader in the NFT space. On December 8, 2021, Kuro Shiba successfully launched the first and only NFT staking platform on Harmony—KURO’s **Art Museum**!

Following the success of the Art Museum, Kuro Shiba launched **Exhibitions** on January 16, 2022, which allows staking of curated NFT collections. The first two NFT exhibitions are Dingos and Harmony Whales, with many more to come! Next, we’re opening a **Night Market** as a one-stop-shop for buying, selling, and trading of stakeable Kuro Shiba NFTs.

We’re so pleased to have found our niche at the intersection of NFTs and DeFi on Harmony, and we have so much more to build—including **Fish Ponds** (staking LP tokens to catch fish, then redeem your fish for yield-generating NFTs) and other dynamic token staking mechanisms. Plus, we're developing a 3D NFT-game called **Kurogotchi**!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://kuroshiba.gitbook.io/library/master.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
