Lead developer of the Shiba Inu ecosystem Shytoshi Kusama tweeted “!” to the launch of the MetaMask SDK in the Unity Asset Store.
Recently, the leading Ethereum wallet has integrated the gaming developer platform Unity which will allow developers to create innovative experiences with the help of web3 tools.
The newest addition is seen as a major step forward in enabling decentralized applications and gaming and making them accessible to the masses.
The announcement is reflective of the growing importance of the web3 gaming sector. The potential for growth is enormous given that one million users connect to web3 games every day over 48 blockchains.
The Shiba Inu community has reacted favorably to Kusama’s comments, with people expressing enthusiasm for the new MetaMask SDK feature’s potential. One person referred to it as “huge,” and another questioned how it related to the meme coin.
It needed to be recalled that the Shiba Inu team introduced Shiba Eternity, a collectible card game in a bid to add more utility to the memetoken’s ecosystem on Oct 6, 2022.
Created by Melbourne-based PlaySide Studios, the game features a Japanese martial arts theme that draws heavily from the Shiba Inu ecosystem. In the game, each player has a Shiboshi, a virtual dog that they are responsible for keeping safe from other players.
Overall, the launch campaign was a success as the game managed to top the charts for card games on the app store.
Shiba Inu Holders Are On The Rise
Prior to the anticipated release of Shibarium, a layer-2 solution that intends to enhance the Shiba Inu ecosystem by delivering speedier transactions at a reduced cost, among other significant enhancements, the number of Shiba Inu owners has been increasing.
Yet, there are still a number of unanswered questions regarding the use and release of Shibarium.
In order to perform transactions on the Shibarium ecosystem, Shibarium will collaborate with Ethereum. Processing it on the Shibarium chain will need a sizable portion of the transaction load the Shiba Inu ecosystem now places on Ethereum.
The layer-2 will also remove tokens from circulation in order to restrict supply and support price growth. Sending tokens to wallets that can only receive tokens but not send them, also known as Dead Wallets, is referred to as a token-burning method.
Shibarium will use $BONE instead of $SHIB as payment for transactions.
