Shibarium is getting closer to becoming a reality. Shibarium is a new project from the developers of the Shiba Inu (SHIB) memecoin, who are having a very active year in terms of releases, and in this case it is a layer 2 solution – in true Polygon style (MATIC)– which, as is usually the case with this type of technology, seeks to significantly reduce the costs of operating with the project's tokens.
Shiba Inu (SHIB) is involved in more and more projects. 2022 is proving to be a year of great releases for the ShibArmy: in addition to the new Shiba Eternity mobile game, its developers also have a project related to the Shiba Inu metaverse on their hands. And, of course, the launch of Shibarium that we are here to talk about on this occasion.
The crypto Shiba Inu (SHIB) wants to stop being the alternative memecoin to Dogecoin (DOGE). To achieve this, Shibarium is one of the great projects that the developers of this cryptocurrency have prepared for this year. Let's take a closer look at the latest Shibarium news.
Shibarium: release date, availability and first versions
If all goes according to plan, there are only less than 40 days left until the arrival of the Shibarium Public Beta TestNet, as announced on the blog of Unification, the company responsible for creating this layer 2 solution, a while ago. .
Shibarium does not yet have an official release date. It is expected to take place throughout this year 2022, although at the moment there are no specific dates in this regard. The only thing that is officially known, therefore, is that the first test versions of this layer 2 will begin to be distributed during the third quarter of the year.
In a nutshell, what is Shibarium?
Shibarium is an Ethereum (ETH) based Layer 2 solution for the Shiba Inu (SHIB) project. Its objective is to reduce gas fees, or transaction costs, for all operations related to the crypto Shiba Inu project.
Shibarium arrives to face the high gas fees that the Ethereum (ETH) network represents for the crypto Shiba Inu (SHIB), especially now that those responsible for the project are entering more and more into the NFT world. To buy or sell NFTs, gas fees are a key factor since they determine how much you have to pay – on the ETH network that means paying a lot – to make the exchange.
As Shytoshi Kusama, one of those responsible for the project, has commented, "Shibarium will offer low transaction costs for any service, game or other projects that are built on top of it." Because in addition to the native projects of the platform, external developers will also have access to this layer 2 to build their Shiba Inu related ideas on top of it.
The Shibarium token will be BONE, which will serve as a currency to pay for gas in the operations carried out on this layer 2 solution. A token that, by the way, has already experienced some interesting movement in the market.
