Shiba Inu has moved away from its meme coin origins with the launch of Shib Alpha Layer, signaling a shift towards enhanced functionalities and real utility in the blockchain space.
The new Shib Alpha Layer aims to simplify blockchain use by allowing users to interact with multiple RollApps on a single platform, offering features like flexible gas payments and encrypted smart contracts.
Developed in collaboration with ElderLabs, Shib Alpha Layer provides a foundation for serious blockchain projects and marks a significant step in Shiba Inu's evolution.
Lead developer Kaal Dhairya emphasized the team's focus on building, achieving speedy development without traditional venture capital backing.
Key features of Shib Alpha Layer include flexible gas payment options, encrypted smart contracts using ZAMA's FHE, and ShibOS for modular system development.
Shiba Inu also launched ShibDAO for community-driven governance, further solidifying its commitment to transparency and decentralized decision-making.
Lead developer Dhairya declared the end of the meme era for Shiba Inu, marking the transition to the Shib Alpha Layer era focused on real technology and developments.
Developer Shytoshi Kusama highlighted the significance of the new rollout and the ongoing Web3 game project, emphasizing the community's attention to the strategic shift.
Despite the recent upgrades and announcements, Shiba Inu's price remained relatively stable, trading at $0.00001171 with a 7.37% decrease in the past 24 hours.
Speculation from crypto analyst Javon Marks suggests the potential for a significant price breakout of up to 503% for Shiba Inu in the future.
