The core developers of the Shiba Inu SHIB/USD meme coin project have successfully launched Shibarium, their much-awaited layer-2 scaling solution, on the mainnet.
What Happened: This launch marks a significant milestone for the project, following the timeline set by lead developer Shytoshi Kusama, who had previously confirmed the debut of the Ethereum-based Layer-2 scaling solution at the Blockchain Futurist Conference in Canada.
"The Shibarium mainnet is now ready to on-board millions who are interested in shaping a new future that honors the principles of decentralization," developers said in a statement.
The Shiba Inu ecosystem, which includes tokens such as SHIB, BONE BONE/USD LEASH, will now be supported by Shibarium. This Layer-2 solution is expected to enhance the performance and capabilities of these existing tokens. Furthermore, validators on the Shibarium network will be rewarded with a governance token named BONE, which boasts a total supply of 250,000,000.

Price Action: At the time of writing, Shiba Inu dropped 9.0% over the past 24 hours, changing hands at $0.000009, according to Benzinga Pro.
