SHIB, originally starting as a memecoin, has now evolved into a promising contender in the blockchain space with the introduction of Shibarium.

This layer 2 networks will leverage tokens like bone, treat, shib, and leash to power applications built on the blockchain, potentially driving up the prices of these tokens as demand surges.

An exciting development is the live launch of a bridge connecting the upcoming Shiba Inu-based layer 2 blockchain Shibarium with Ethereum. This bridge is currently open for public testing, allowing users to seamlessly transfer tokens between the two networks. Initially, the bridge will support testnet ether tokens, with real assets expected to be added later. Chief developer Shytoshi Kusama anticipates that each transfer will take a maximum of 30 minutes, facilitating swift transactions between the networks.

Shibarium’s implementation of “Layer 2” technology involves off-chain systems or separate blockchains built on top of Layer 1 protocols. This approach addresses scaling and data bottlenecks by bundling multiple off-chain transactions into a single layer 1 transaction, reducing data load and associated fees.

Once Shibarium is operational, DoggyDAO, a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) governed by token holders, will commence its activities to fund projects on the blockchain. The testnet has already seen significant activity over the past months, witnessing approximately 27 million transactions from an estimated 16 million wallets as of July. This impressive level of activity indicates strong demand for the network’s capabilities.

With the launch of Shibarium and the interconnection between Ethereum, SHIB is transitioning from its memecoin origins into a serious player in the blockchain industry. The potential applications and the robust demand for the network signify a promising future for SHIB and the entire ecosystem built around it.
