The developments around Shiba Inu
The Shiba Inu ecosystem has seen some major developments taking place, the most recent one being the launch of the Shibarium testnet aka the PuppyNet. PuppyNet is the beta version of the Shibarium Layer 2 protocol.
The launch of PuppyNet last saw a sharp in the total number of transactions on the platform. Also, the launch of Shibarium protocol on Ethereum will contribute to reducing transaction costs while enhancing platform scalability simultaneously.
While other developments continue in the Shiba Inu ecosystem, the native cryptocurrency SHIB has also delivered a decent performance so far in 2023. Although SHIB delivered lesser returns compared to other altcoins in Q1 2023, it still managed to beat the benchmark Nasdaq 100 index. Shiba Inu (SHIB) ended the first quarter of the year with 29% gains while the Nasdaq 100 gained somewhere around 17%.
While developers are working on the mainnet launch of the Shibarium platform, some projects are already working for their launch on Shibarium. One such project is the Koyo platform which is expecting “billions of dollars in volume, expect millions of dollars in rewards and in turn expect $SHIB burns to be in the millions with continuous burns.”
