Shiba Inu marketing lead Lucie emphasized the potential impact of Ethereum's Pectra upgrade on Shibarium, the layer-2 solution built by the Shiba Inu ecosystem.
The Pectra upgrade is expected to make Layer 2 solutions faster, cheaper, and more user-friendly, reducing gas fees and lowering entry barriers.
The upgrade may enable the use of Shiba Inu ecosystem tokens for transaction fees on Ethereum, although this will depend on wallet and protocol support.
Experts note that the success of using tokens for gas fees relies on adoption by wallets, dApps, and further Ethereum infrastructure.
