Shiba Inu’s layer-2 solution Shibarium could most likely be released in August, said the lead developer Shytoshi Kusama on Thursday. In a recently published blog, Shytoshi said that the L2 blockchain “will be likely” released at the Blockchain Futurist Conference. The blockchain event will be held on August 15th and 16th in Toronto, Canada. Even before the Mainnet launch, Shibarium’s Testnet ‘Puppynet’ experienced a surge in transactions including the total number of blocks produced.

The total transactions executed on Puppynet currently stands at 27,043,014 and the total blocks produced at 1,562,978. In addition, the network’s average block time is 6.8 seconds making transactions smoother and faster. Therefore, Shibarium could see a surge in transactions after the Mainnet goes live this year.
Shiba Inu: Could Shibarium’s Launch Propel SHIB’s Price Towards $0.01?
Shiba Inu is currently trading at $0.000007 levels and needs to delete three zeroes to reach the $0.001 mark. A jump from five ‘zeroes’ to two ‘zeroes’ needs its price to shoot up 15,000% from its current levels. That’s too much of a stretch looking at the present market scenario.

A 15,000% spike in price might happen only if Shibarium relentlessly burns SHIB tokens after its launch. The ease of transactions and the Shibarium gas fee could decide SHIB’s fate in the indices. The more transactions are initiated on the L2 network, the better it could be for SHIB’s price, as 70% of all transaction fees would be sent to the dead wallet.
We can fully gauge and understand SHIB’s price prospects only after Shibarium’s Mainnet is launched. If SHIB tokens become scarce through Shibarium burns, their price could automatically shoot up delivering profits to present investors.
