SHIB’s lead Shytoshi Kusama, his right-hand developer Kaal Dhairya, and marketing lead Lucie have announced the rollout of the Shiba Alpha Layer, announcing that SHIB has left the meme coin status far behind. Lucie has referred to it as “Infrastructure for the Next Web3 Wave” in her tweet.
The Shiba Alpha Layer has been officially released in beta so far.
L3 solution goes live in beta
According to a post on Binance.Square shared by Lucie, Shiba Alpha Layer is a modular rollup abstraction stack created by the SHIB team in collaboration with ElderLabs and anchored to Shibarium. It offers optional FHE privacy, one seamless UX for all RollApps, an option to pay gas fees not only in BONE but also in SHIB and other coins, as well as stablecoins (USDT, USDC, etc).
Native interoperability and instant bridging will be added soon to this new layer. “No VC funding. No empty promises. Just code,” the post claims.
Shiba Alpha is to turn Shibarium into a L3 settlement layer and with it “every RollApp gains shared security and real SHIB token utility.”
