Meme token shiba inu has rallied against the US dollar over the past seven days as supporters of the coin anticipate the beta launch of the second layer (L2) scalable Shibarium solution. The developers detailed on January 15, 2023 that the L2 platform, Shibarium beta, is set to launch on top of the Ethereum blockchain to provide greater scalability, faster transaction times, and lower fees.
SHIB Token Market is responding positively to the upcoming launch of Shibarium
The Shiba inu (SHIB) meme token community, also known as the “SHIB Army”, is excited about the launch of Shibarium, a new two-layer scalable solution built for the SHIB crypto ecosystem. Rumors of Shibarium’s launch began last year, as it was originally slated to launch in the third quarter of 2022. Mid December. In 2022, members of the SHIB community have hinted that the launch of the program is getting closer by the day. On January 15, 2023, the SHIB team published a blog post titled “Introduction to Shibarium. Shiba Inu’s Layer 2 Network”.
The blog post claims that “Shibarium beta is about to launch” and describes what people can expect at launch. The team stresses that Shibarium will be a phased release. The project’s native token, called BONE, will be used “to pay for gas transactions and reward validators and delegates within the Shibarium protocol.” The team also notes that while there is a supply of 250 million bones, “20 million are reserved to reward ratifiers and delegates in the coming years.”

BONE is up 11.1% in the last 24 hours and BONE is up 16.1% in the last week.
