Shiba Inu’s much-awaited Shibarium Beta is set to launch publicly this week, according to the Shiba Inu team. Shibarium Beta is a Layer 2 solution for Shiba Inu, and the launch will allow anyone to access and build on the platform.
We’re thrilled to announce that #SHIBARIUM Public Beta will be launching THIS WEEK!
Make sure you’re following our official socials over the next few days as we reveal all the details on how to access the beta website. Hail Shib! #ShibariumBeta.
The Shibarium Document, containing all necessary details, will be released in the coming days.
