Key Points

  • The makers of Shiba Inu are launching a Layer-2 solution called Shibarium.
  • As a Layer-2 solution, it intends to facilitate faster and cheaper transactions on Ethereum.
  • Shiba Inu has been on an upwards trend in anticipation of the announcement.

The creators of the Shiba Inu (SHIB) token have announced the imminent launch of their Shibarium Layer-2 solution.

Shibarium will run on top of the Ethereum blockchain, which is the basis for the Shiba Inu token. Its capacity for decentralized apps and non-fungible tokens have made it one of the most utilized blockchain for smart contracts. However, this popularity has burdened the system, raising costs while lowering transaction times.

Layer-2 Results in Lower Costs

Shibarium will operate as a Layer-2 solution on top of Ethereum, which will facilitate faster transactions while lowering fees. Layer-2 solutions enable “off-chain” transactions, in which they occur off of the first layer blockchain and are communicated back. Allowing the Layer-2 solution to do the majority of the work alleviates bandwidth, resulting in lower costs and processing time.

This reduced load on the blockchain network can also improve user experience for metaverse and gaming applications. Shibarium will also serve as a transitional evolution to the Shiba ecosystem, centering around metaverse, Web3 innovation, and gaming. 

Bone Token Bonus

Although it has mainly been used for governance, the BONE token will play a greater role within the Shibarium. In addition to paying for gas transactions, users can also reward BONE to Validators and Delegators within the Shibarium protocol. 

Similar to other blockchains, validators stake a certain amount of crypto to help facilitate transactions and maintain the blockchain. Meanwhile, delegators participate in a consensus mechanism called “delegated proof of stake” (DPoS) by delegating their voting rights to a validator. Some 20 million of a total supply of 250 million have been reserved to reward Validators and Delegators.
