Shiba Inu (SHIB) Lead Dev Reaches Out to Community Before Shibarium Beta Release

Shiba Inu lead developer Shytoshi Kusama has sent out a message to the SHIB community ahead of the much anticipated Shibarium beta launch.

Kusama urges SHIB users to "Please wait for official announcements" in a recent tweet that had ShibArmy, DYOR and Shibarium tags, indicating that he was speaking along these lines.

Please wait for official announcements #SHIBARMY. #DYOR. #shibarium

Expectations soared as the Shiba Inu team made an exciting announcement that Shibarium beta would be launched this week. 

With less than 48 hours to wrap up the week, Kusama issues a warning to protect the SHIB community from scams and bad actors, telling them to wait for official announcements (which implies getting announcements from official sources).

Shiba Inu-focused Twitter account SHIB BPP makes note of the fact that "many people continue to get scammed because they are not following official sources." He went ahead and shared the list of official SHIB websites and social media handles on Twitter. 

Builders prepare for Shibarium launch

Ahead of the much anticipated Shibarium beta launch, developers of PawSwap say the multi-chain DEX will transition to the Layer 2 protocol once it launches.

Blockchain developer API NOWNodes, which previously indicated support for Shibarium, released a roadmap outlining its integration plan for the Layer 2 solution.

Looks like #ShibariumBETA is going to be released this week! Can't wait to test it 👀

After the @ShibariumNet announcement, we decided that it would be also great for us to show our #SHIB node integration roadmap 👇🏼

Shibarium is expected to go through a phased release, which is the beta phase, the mainnet development phase and then the mainnet release.

NowNode says it will run internal tests during the Shibarium beta phase while preparing for deployment.

In Shibarium's Mainnet Development Phase, NOWNodes says it will perform safety tests and make necessary changes. At Shibarium's mainnet launch, NOWNodes says it will launch SHIB node access in this last phase.
