Shibarium is a Layer 2 solution developed by xFUND and Shiba Inu developers, with BONE set to be the Shibarium Protocol's "gas." This "gas" will provide the essential functionality for smart contracts and transactions to be processed and executed.
BONE, one of Shiba Inu's ecosystem tokens, currently has a fixed supply of 250 million. The community is now about to decide whether to halt BONE farms once the 230 million supply has been met or to increase the maximum supply from 250 million to 270 million.
