Is the Shibarium mainnet soon to launch? SHIB community members think so

Kusama’s comments have been received by some community members as a hint that a potential upgrade to an existing protocol, or a new project is being built on the Shiba Inu network.

In previous times, Kusama has used cryptic tweets and comments to hint that a major announcement is on the way. This was observed by community members prior to the launch of the beta version of Shibarium. On different occasions, Shiba Inu supporters saw Kusama change his Twitter bio to hint at the launch of the Shibarium beta.

A few days before the official launch, he dropped many hints via tweets and comments on the official telegram group chat. The Shiba Inu community is familiar with this pattern of communication and has since begun to attempt to put the pieces together.

Although Kusama did not give any other hint or leave any other comments in the group, the majority speculates that the Shiba Inu team might be working around developing Shibarium’s mainnet version, especially as the Shibarium beta has managed to live up to market expectations.

According to recent data shared by Puppyscan, the Shibarium beta, which is dubbed as Puppynet, has recorded an upsurge in the number of wallets connected, as over 14 million wallets hit the platform.
