Shiba Inu, the self-proclaimed Dogecoin killer, made significant strides in its crypto venture by announcing plans to introduce a layer 3 blockchain in collaboration with Zama. The community also revealed plans for a hard fork for Shibarium, aiming to enhance block processing speed and transaction fees predictability.
These developments have captured the attention of crypto market traders and investors, adding to the frenzy post-BTC halving. The cryptocurrency landscape continues to evolve, with key players like Binance, Ripple, and Shiba Inu making waves in the industry.
