The Response of Community Over Shiba Inu Lead’s Hint
Over Shiba Inu lead’s hint, the community response has been mixed. As many of the community members are eagerly awaiting the announcement. On the other hand, some showed a more cautious stance, stressing the need for the Shiba Inu leadership to continue their promises.
Moreover, adding to the expectation is the yet-to-be-released Shibarium layer-2 solution, which was originally scheduled for an August launch. This enhancement, focused on increasing transaction speed and reducing fees, has not seen its mainnet launch as of August 13, 2023.
In spite of the wait, the Shiba Inu team has continued to promote what they’ve dubbed the “Summer of Shibarium.” They suggest more announcements might be on the horizon soon. Whereas at the same time, the Shiba Inu team has urged the KuCoin, a crypto exchange, to list the BONE and LEASH tokens, recently.
