The upgrade will let Shiboshi owners get new ways to play within Shibarium via exclusive utility features on the upgrade, which will include new ways to interact. Additionally, the Shiba Inu team wants to lower transaction costs by focusing on gas fees for Shibarium. These combined adjustments are designed to encourage broader engagement with Shiboshis, ultimately boosting their value and accessibility.
Enhanced Utility and Unique Features
The goal of this version is to integrate Shiboshis further into the Shibarium’s ecology. NFT holders can expect new features that expand Shiboshis’ roles, positioning them as central assets within Shiba Inu’s digital space. Key to the update is the expanded utility, Lucie assured Shiboshi owners would have special access to events and rewards. This addition will make Shiboshis more attractive to long-term investors and the broader crypto community.
Lucie added that these prizes are meant to increase engagement of users inside Shibarium through real incentives for ecosystem investors. Shiba Inu believes that the changes will set Shiboshis as a flagship in its NFT ecosystem, enabling holders to explore brand new possibilities and strengthening Shibarium status in Ethereum-based assets.
Lower Gas Fees for Accessibility
The Shiba Inu team priority lies down on tackling high transaction costs. The team is rolling out measures to reduce gas fees on Shibarium to make Shiboshis more affordable for users. Lucie said that the team has made efforts to reduce transaction costs to as low as $2, marking a notable shift toward accessibility. Shiboshi holders within the community also share practical tips to bridge transactions more affordably, further facilitating cost-effective use.
Lowering gas fees is good for individual users and could also influence the broader adoption and engagement of Shibarium. As transaction costs decrease, more users may consider interacting with Shiboshis, contributing to a more active and involved Shiba Inu ecosystem.
Strengthening Security Amid Growing Engagement
