The developer said there was utmost need for a decentralized layer 2 network to facilitate a large, global and decentralized community.

The beta version interface has information about network stats, validator information as well as the staking functionality. Kusama made the announcement in a blog,

“Well, today we begin the EARLY Beta Test of the Shibarium Network which we call PUPPYNET!”

Meanwhile, the Shiba Inu price (SHIB) is yet to show clear signs of impact from the beta announcement. This is probably because of the volatility in the market amid USDC depegging after the Silicon Valley Bank collapse.
