Shibarium launch close as ever

Within one or two days, a long-awaited event is expected by the Shiba Inu community to finally occur. On Aug. 15-16, during the Blockchain Futurist Conference in Toronto, the Layer 2 blockchain for Shiba Inu called Shibarium.

As soon as it happens, the price of SHIB is expected to go through the roof; hundreds of projects have already committed to building their dApps and ecosystems on Shibarium. Each transaction will power the upcoming SHIB burns with the BONE token, which will be used as gas on Shibarium.

The testnet called Puppynet was launched on March 11, but after Aug. 5 all operations on it ceased, and the transaction count dropped to zero, where it remains now, as the community is looking forward to the Shibarium launch on mainnet.
