Shibarium, the layer 2 blockchain solution for the Shiba Inu ecosystem clocked one year in existence following its launch on August 21, 2023. Since its release, the network has gained popularity among the Shiba Inu community and the entire crypto sector. The introduction of Shibarium quickly shifted Shiba Inu from a mere memecoin to a complete ecosystem on which other projects can be built.
The team celebrated this milestone in a post on X, highlighting all the key achievements reached over the last year including processing over 417 million transactions, creating more than 1.8 million wallets, supporting a wide range of activities from NFT transfers to smart contracts, and most recently, the imminent launch of the Shiba Eternity web3 game.
Shiba Eternity Beta Version is Live
In a recent post on X, Lucie, the network’s head of marketing, announced that Shiba Eternity’s beta version has launched. Accordingly, the game is currently in closed beta, and the development team is working on constant upgrades to make it flawless.
The beta version was launched on August 21 for users who had staked LEASH tokens. This restriction is in place to get user input and corrections before the official release. To play the game, individuals who qualify for this beta edition must connect their wallets. Other players including those who possess the Sheboshis, Shiba Eternity Lore collections NFTs, and the Shiboshis will also be able to access the game by September 5. Meanwhile, the Open beta’s release date is still unknown.
By disclosing the main features of the Shiba Inu game, Lucie has increased the hype surrounding it. She claims that there are other sub-features in addition to five primary features that will appeal to every user. On the Shibarium mainnet, the game is currently playable and features NFT-based inventory cards. These inventory cards are exclusive to the ecosystem but are based on NFTs, which guarantee ownership and traceability.
Above all, there will be a ranked mode in the game where players may show off their abilities and win prizes. Users can achieve this by taking part in 15-day tournaments and winning prizes determined by their performance and ranking. Additionally, privileged access to exclusive seasonal events will be granted to the top 25 players.
There are tons of unique features and incentives in this Shibarium game, such as quests, welcome presents, and much more. Not to mention, the user experience has been enhanced. The team promises a more seamless experience because of the updated tutorials, a simplified armory, and a refined menu. With this, Lucie has made it plain that the web3 is undergoing a full shift rather than just a straightforward update.
Ultimately, Lucie stressed that the switch to web3 involves a full transformation rather than just a straightforward update. Meanwhile, the price of SHIB has reacted positively to the news. At the time of writing, the coin recorded a 4.68% increase to trade at $0.0000143.
