The Shiba Inu[1] ecosystem has been experiencing regular network updates, courtesy of its developers.
Just a few weeks after the conclusion[2] of the first and second phase of land sale on the Shiba Metaverse, lead developer Shytoshi Kusama outlined developments that are expected on the network in the near future via a blogpost[3].
According to Kusama, the Shiba network plans to float Shibarium, the network’s “L2 Blockchain for Ethereum (utilizing $BONE) which will be the bone of all the SHIB projects that are in development”.
Furthermore, Kusama also stated that the SHIB project is near completion, and with this update, “SHIB holders will have an incredible stable coin solution”. There would also be a Shibarium Financial Ecosystem (SHIBFE) which Kusama said would be paired with the SHI development.
Upon taking a look at the nature of the aforementioned updates, it is crucial to analyze the performance of the network’s native token, SHIB.
