Shibarium fiat on-ramps and what's next for SHIB ecosystem
In a recent tweet, Shiba Inu team member Lucie discussed Shibarium fiat on-ramps and what's next for the SHIB ecosystem.
According to Lucie, Shiba Inu took a huge step forward by introducing fiat on-ramps to Shibarium, which simplified entry into the DeFi space. These on-ramps allow users to buy Bone or USDC directly with traditional currency, removing the complexity of navigating blockchain processes.
Looking forward, Lucie hinted that SHIB developers are exploring zkKYC, a privacy-focused method for verifying users without compromising personal data. Additionally, there are plans to introduce fiat top-ups, making it even easier for users to fund their wallets with traditional methods.
