Shiba Inu’s marketing lead, Lucie, recently highlighted forthcoming developments for Shibarium. She announced the imminent release of ShibaSwap’s updated versions, 1.75 and 2.0, slated for launch in 2024/2025. ShibaSwap 1.75, to precede the highly awaited ShibaSwap 2.0, promises enhanced features and user experience, as revealed by Shiba Inu’s lead developer, Shytoshi Kusama.

Lucie also unveiled Shiba Hub, an upcoming app described as “something extraordinary.” Set to integrate Shibarium, it will serve as both a resource center and community forum within the Shiba Inu ecosystem.

TREAT Token Launch

Another significant update is the launch of TREAT, an upcoming token within the Shiba Inu ecosystem. TREAT will serve as a reward token for users staking SHIB across liquidity pools, as well as a governance and gas fee token for the ecosystem’s Layer-3 blockchain solution. In the pipeline is the play-to-earn (P2E) version of Shiba Eternity, Shiba Inu’s collectible card game (CCG).

Beta testing is set to commence in Q2 2024, with developers ensuring a smooth launch through in-house testing. Lucie also suggested SHIB: The Metaverse will debut in 2024/2025, following delays from its planned partial opening in 2023. The community eagerly awaits its launch as Shiba Inu aims to bring the project to fruition. Additionally, K9 Finance’s liquid staking derivative platform will join Shibarium in 2024/2025. The platform will launch in three phases, starting by Q2’s end and concluding in Q4 2024.

Layer-3 Blockchain Development

Shiba Inu’s focus on technical infrastructure includes the development of a Layer-3 (L3) blockchain, fueled by a recent $12 million investment round. The blockchain, still in development, is expected to launch its testnet on Shibarium’s L2 scaling solution by Q3 2024. By 2024/2025, Shiba Inu aims to establish a fully functional decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) for its native tokens, SHIB and BONE.
