Shiba Eternity Launch Announcement Sparks Optimism

The Shiba Inu community is buzzing with anticipation following the announcement of a Web3 iteration of the strategic card game, Shiba Eternity. Scheduled for a closed beta release in the third quarter of 2024, this new version will be powered by Shibarium, Shiba Inu’s layer-2 scaling solution.

Notably, Shiba Inu marketing lead Lucie highlighted this development, suggesting it has already garnered notable attention from market participants. Shiba Eternity, originally launched in October 2022, has built a loyal following due to its engaging gameplay.

Meanwhile, the transition to Web3 aims to enhance the gaming experience further by incorporating features like true ownership of in-game assets and a player-driven economy. Angel, the pseudonymous lead at Shiba Inu Games showed excitement over Shiba Eternity’s integration with Shibarium.

This move would maintain the competitiveness of the game while giving a better gaming experience to the users, Angel added. In other words, the integration with Shibarium promises to bring groundbreaking features that showcase the layer-2 solution’s potential for both players and developers.

In addition, the move towards a Web3 version is expected to provide unique opportunities within the Shiba Inu ecosystem, including the introduction of decentralized elements to enhance the mobile game. The revenue from in-app purchases will also contribute to burning SHIB and LEASH tokens, creating a sustainable economic model within the game.

This development aligns with the long-term vision of Shytoshi Kusama, Shiba Inu’s lead developer, who has been advocating for Shiba Eternity’s licensing on Shibarium for added decentralized elements.
