Shibarium: The Highly Anticipated Scalability Platform for Shiba Inu

Shiba Inu developers are working to expand the Shiba Inu ecosystem. The most eagerly awaited development for Shiba Inu is its scalability platform, Shibarium. Shibarium is a layer-2 solution that sits on top of an already existing (Ethereum) blockchain. It was originally proposed by Ryoshi, the creator of Shiba Inu. Shibarium offers many benefits to users, including higher throughput, lower fees, token utility, and more. 

Prior to the release of Shibarium, speculations regarding other tokens’ participation in the SHIB network surfaced. The SHIB network will only use the BONE utility token to pay gas costs, which are fees attached to transactions. The team wrote that there will be no other tokens needed to operate within the protocol.

BONE is gaining attention and returned 38.7% to traders in the past week, with a 9.6% rise in the past 24 hours.  As of the time of writing, Shiba Inu is the 16th most popular cryptocurrency by market capitalization, currently trading at $0.000008413 up by 0.50% in the past 24 hours.
