Shiba Inu Tokens Gears Up For Shibarium

Shibarium documentation is only weeks away as the lead developer of ShibaSwap confirmed that the public beta testnet might be released in Q3 of 2022. Shibarium developers Unification also revealed that the testnet is in the final phases and will be made public soon.

The layer-2 solution is the most-awaited development as investors believe it could drive SHIB’s price up sustainably. Shibarium aims to lower gas fees considerably making it easier and affordable for investors to buy and hold the token.

In addition, Shibarium might be equipped with an in-built burn mechanism that would remove tokens out of circulation. Therefore, Shibarium is considered to be a game-changer for the canine-themed token that gives it a pedestal for a sustainable price run.
