Wrapped Bone announcement is imminent

In an update, Shiba Inu lead Shytoshi Kusama made it known that WBONE was completed and that an announcement would be made soon by Shiba Inu developer Kaal Dhairya.

In an X post, Shiba Inu team member Lucie explains further about WBONE, which stands for Wrapped Bone.

WBONE is a Shibarium-based token that represents BONE in a standardized form compatible with the Shibarium network's smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps).

WBONE enhances the compatibility of BONE with other tokens and dApps on the Shibarium network. Users can wrap their BONE tokens into WBONE, which allows them to seamlessly interact with various DeFi (decentralized finance) protocols and decentralized exchanges (DEXs) that may require tokens to be in a standardized format.
