Shibarium Bridge Goes Live For Public Testing Ahead of August Launch

  • Shiba Inu official announces that the Shibarium Beta Bridge is live for public testing.
  • The Layer 2 bridge will connect the Ethereum and Shiba Inu blockchains.
  • SHIB and Bone saw an uptick in their prices following the announcement.

Ahead of its expected launch in August, the Shibarium Beta Bridge has gone live for public testing. Lucie, a Shiba ecosystem official, made this announcement on Twitter, marking the second time the bridge has been made available for public testing.

The Shibarium Bridge is a Layer 2 network designed to connect the Ethereum and Shiba Inu blockchains. Consequently, Shiba Inu users will be able to conduct transactions. Likewise, connecting the two networks will also allow users to transact without third parties or intermediaries.

Reacting to the news, Shibarium gas token Bone ShibaSwap (BONE) recorded a significant increase in its price. Data from CoinMarketCap shows that the token has further added another 0.24% in the last 24 hours.

Despite the excitement around the news, Lucie warned that users should be careful while using the bridge. He cautioned users to ensure they verify authenticity before connecting their wallet to any website. Likewise, since the bridge is still in its beta phase, he warned against using real assets on the bridge.

The Shibarium Bridge is expected to be a game-changer for the Shiba Inu ecosystem. The launch will transition Shiba Inu from being just a meme coin to a network offering diverse utilities and applications.

The bridge will support the development of ERC-20 tokens (NFTs) created and used by Ethereum. Likewise, the use of the Plasma Bridge technology and validators means users can transact on the bridge with minimal risks.

In addition, the bridge is expected to draw more attention to Shiba Inu and, in turn, increase liquidity to the network.

At the time of press, SHIB has seen a marginal decline in its price. In the last 24 hours, the token has dropped 1.03% to sit at $0.000007814.

How Ethereum Price Could Race to $3K Bolstered by Accelerated Staking Post-Shapella Upgrade

Image
As the price wobbles at $1,865 and traders usher in the European session, Ethereum price is facing two conflicting scenarios. advertisement Reclaiming resistance above $1,900 could clear the path to $2,000. On the flip side, losing support at the 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which is grounded at $1,800, might leave ETH vulnerable to declines targeting lower likes such as $1,730 and $1,600. Ethereum Staking Accelerates Post-Shapella Upgrade According to blockchain research platform Messari, Ethereum staking has been improving since the Shapella upgrade, which occurred in April. Before this network update that allowed investors to freely stake and unstake Ether, “staking growth was slow and perceived as riskier.” However, market conditions changed and improved drastically following the implementation of the Shapella upgrade. Users now have the freedom to “comfortably stake and unstake ETH,” thus accelerating the rate of stakin...

Bitcoin 'not undervalued yet' says research as BTC price drifts nearer $16K

Image
An indicator tracking transactions in profit and loss is yet to repeat its traditional bear market bottom sequence, says CryptoQuant. Bitcoin (BTC) may not be good value enough for a macro price bottom, according to Analysis from CryptoQuant. In a blog post on Dec. 29, a contributor to the on-chain analytics platform flagged one BTC price indicator with further to fall. Profitability indicator lacks key cross At nearly 80% below all-time highs, BTC/USD is nearing the zone in which it bottomed during previous bear markets. As CryptoQuant's MAC_D notes, there is no shortage of instruments pointing to the 2022 bear market bottom already forming.
