Shiba Inu experiences an increase in value following the announcement of an upcoming upgrade to the Shibarium ecosystem.
This upgrade will allow users to link NFTs with real-world assets, providing authentication and proof of ownership for physical items.

Shiba Inu, a potential rival to Dogecoin, experienced a surge in value on Thursday following the announcement of an upcoming upgrade to the Shibarium ecosystem. The lead developer unveiled new functionality that will impact non-fungible tokens (NFTs) within the ecosystem. This upgrade will empower users to associate NFTs with real-world assets, enabling authentication and proof of ownership for physical items.

Introducing “Shibacals”: Authenticating Ownership on Shibarium

Shibarium, a forthcoming layer-two blockchain within the Shiba Inu ecosystem, will revolve around its three tokens: SHIB, BONE, and LEASH, primarily focusing on the metaverse and NFTs. Set to launch later this year, Shibarium will encompass various features, including blockchain gaming, decentralized entertainment, account abstraction, and international governance, as outlined in a blog post released on Thursday by developer Shytoshi Kusama.

According to Kusama, Shibacals will emphasize authenticity and aesthetic appeal, enhancing the concept of collectibility. Through NFC chips, Shibarium will authenticate real-world items and create new business possibilities, similar to item authentication on eBay but with blockchain integration.

Additionally, Shibacals collectibles are expected to take 4 to 6 weeks to create, prioritizing high quality and handmade craftsmanship. The developers are collaborating with various blockchain teams to utilize the authentication technology.

The blog post concludes by stating that any cryptocurrency community, whether Bitcoin or alternative digital coins, can utilize this service to enhance engagement by producing authenticated collectibles.

Introduction of a Unified Blog for Kusama

Regarding the progress, one user highlighted the importance of placing Unification at the forefront due to their involvement in developing prominent Shiba Inu products such as Shibarium, ShibaSwap V2, and the UNODE. Kusama acknowledged the need for a dedicated blog for the Unification Foundation, affirming his commitment to establishing one. 

Furthermore, Kusama commended the exceptional skills and capabilities of the Unification Foundation team. In a significant collaboration last year, Shiba Inu joined forces with Unification to advance the development of Shibarium, a Layer 2 scaling solution. Notably, Unification has played a crucial role within the Shiba Inu ecosystem.

Earlier this year, Kusama emphasized the importance of paying attention to Unification’s announcements concerning Shibarium. This statement was prompted by some SHIB enthusiasts who believed that updates regarding Shibarium should originate exclusively from the Shiba Inu team.

Countdown to the Highly Anticipated Shibarium Mainnet Launch

Shiba Inu and Unification have achieved remarkable milestones in launching Shibarium’s mainnet. During a recent Telegram chat, Kusama confirmed the imminent arrival of the Shibarium mainnet.

The anticipation surrounding the Shiba Inu community for the network’s mainnet launch is captivating. The earlier release of Shibarium Beta, affectionately known as Puppynet, has garnered widespread adoption, adding to the excitement.

The Puppynet testnet blockchain of Shibarium has reached an impressive milestone, with over 20 million transactions recorded across 16 million wallets. This accomplishment underscores the significant interest and active involvement in the Shibarium project. It is crucial to emphasize that Puppynet serves as a test network, offering a preliminary glimpse of the future Shibarium blockchain.
