Unification Announces Developer Work on Shibarium

Unification in a Medium post on February 3 announced that developers have been busy on Unification/xFund’s Oracle of Oracles (OoO) for the Shibarium Layer-2 blockchain. Shiba Inu’s lead developer Shytoshi Kusama met with the Unification team in December to plan to finalize the Shibarium beta launch.

According to Unification, developers are optimizing the application for the upcoming Shibarium public beta deployment. The latest work enables AdHoc price requests from DEXs to better support Shibarium. Shytoshi Kusama has said earlier that Unification is important for Shibarium.

The Unification team has successfully tested OoO on the Shibarium alpha network and the OoO provider successfully fulfilled data requests on the L2 network, using bridged Test xFUND for OoO fees on L2.

Unification claims Shiba Inu founder Ryoshi chose this hybrid blockchain as it offers a quick, permissionless solution for secure, efficient, cost-effective dApps, making it the only attractive choice for developing Shibarium.
