Shiba Inu’s highly anticipated layer-2 network, Shibarium, is on the verge of release, as revealed by NOWNodes, the blockchain infrastructure provider and a key partner in SHIB’s layer-2 initiative. The platform is currently finalizing updates in preparation for the mainnet launch.
Recently, the NOWNodes team reached stage 3 of their Shibarium roadmap, with a focus on bringing projects onboard to utilize the upcoming network. An official tweet hinted that they would announce their official partner soon after settling the terms, marking the final announcement before the mainnet launch. However, the specific launch date for Shiba Inu’s layer-2 network remains undisclosed.
Several indications suggest that Shibarium might launch in August. Lead developer Shytoshi Kusama mentioned in April that the network’s debut would likely occur between June and August, and we are now approaching the end of that timeframe. Furthermore, there’s a possibility of launching the network at the Blockchain Futurist Conference in Toronto, Canada, scheduled for August 15 and 16.
NOWNodes’ recent disclosure that the launch is imminent adds to the speculation of an August release.
The Shibarium launch has faced several delays due to technical challenges. Initially planned for 2022, it was pushed to early 2023 and then further delayed to the current timeline. However, an official launch date has not been confirmed yet. As of now, Shibarium’s test net, Puppynet, has processed over 31 million transactions and boasts over 17 million wallet addresses.
Global Adoption: Shiba Inu’s Dedication
As the eagerly awaited launch of Shibarium‘s mainnet approaches, the Shiba Inu team has been hard at work revamping not only the official SHIB token website but also several other affiliated websites linked to the Shiba Inu project. Their primary focus lies in fostering widespread adoption of the SHIB token and its associated initiatives, leading to significant advancements on multiple fronts.
In a momentous move, the lead developer of Shiba Inu, known by the pseudonym Kusama, recently unveiled crucial elements essential for expanding the SHIB ecosystem and transforming Ryoshi’s visionary concept into reality. This disclosure has left the ShibArmy, the dedicated community of Shiba Inu supporters, in awe and filled with excitement due to the promising and exhilarating developments.
The team’s commitment to preparing for the mainnet launch has been evident through their efforts in rebranding key online platforms. By optimizing their online presence, they aim to create a stronger and more appealing image for the SHIB token and the overarching Shiba Inu project. Their dedication to driving global adoption is evident as they strive to attract more users and build a robust ecosystem around the SHIB token.
Through their continuous work and transparency in sharing foundational elements, Kusama and the Shiba Inu team have garnered immense anticipation and enthusiasm within the cryptocurrency community. As the countdown to the mainnet launch draws closer, stakeholders and ShibArmy members alike eagerly await the realization of the project’s full potential and the impact it may have on the blockchain landscape.
