Multimonth hackathon in Toronto
This Shibarium Hackathon does not seem to be the only one that the SHIB team plans to launch this year. As mentioned by the major developer of Shiba Inu, the pseudonymous Shytoshi Kusama, in his latest blog post, during the Blockchain Futurist Conference that will take place in Toronto, Canada, in mid-August, the Shibarium team will also conduct a "multi-month Hack-a-thon."
SHIB devs will be showcasing, at the hackathon, SHIB-branded projects and products, including SHIB Metaverse, the smartphone game Shiba Eternity and Shibcals — also known as the "Shiba Inu real-life-component" (RLC).
Curiously, the Toronto blockchain conference (dedicated to Ethereum in particular as it will include the ETH Toronto and ETH Women events) will have SHIB as one of its major sponsors. This sponsorship will put SHIB on a new level of awareness and increase its scale compared to that of major crypto exchanges that often sponsor events like that. Besides, for the first time ever, Shytoshi Kusama will deliver a public speech — virtually, however, using the power of AI.
Per a recent tweet by Lucie, the multimonth hackathon will begin on Aug. 16. During the Blockchain Futurist Conference, the SHIB team is expected to discuss in detail and maybe even launch the Shibarium Layer 2 mainnet.
