The leading blockchain infrastructure service provider NOWNodes announced on Tuesday that it will provide support for the Shibarium layer-2 network. NOWNodes will become one of the first node providers for the upcoming Shiba Inu Shibarium solution.
For the uninitiated, a blockchain Node confirms the legality of each subsequent batch of network transactions, commonly known as blocks. The Nodes generally keep track of the distributed ledger and serve as communication hubs for various tasks on the network.
NOWNodes confirmed that their engineers are currently preparing for a Shibarium release and will provide dedicated access to the network.
“As Shibarium is coming some time later this year, our engineers are preparing for ShibariumNet release. NOWNodes will provide shared and dedicated access to SHIB Shibarium Blockchain,” the tweet read.
