Shibarium: Shiba Inu’s Layer 2 network

It will work in tandem with Ethereum to smoothly process transactions within the Shibarium ecosystem. It will take on a significant portion of the transaction load currently placed on Ethereum, effortlessly processing them on the Shibarium chain.

Shiba Inu price, Jan 19, 2023 is $0.000011 USD

Additionally, Shibarium will boost the price of $SHIB, acting as a token-burning mechanism. It works by removing tokens from circulation to decrease the supply while increasing the demand for $SHIB, ultimately pushing its value higher.

Shibarium will ignite $SHIB and use $BONE as fuel for transactions on its network.
