Shiba Inu’s marketing leader Lucie announced a major update for Shibarium’s Layer 2 blockchain, hinting at a significant development coming in less than nine days.
The focus is on knBONE, a key component of the network. Lucie revealed that a large amount of BONE currently held by validators will soon be unlocked and transformed into knBONE, which will boost liquidity on Shibarium.
This unlock presents new opportunities for users, particularly in staking and utilizing knBONE within the ecosystem. Developers are encouraged to create staking pools and integrate knBONE with NFTs.
The Layer 2 network currently processes about 1,890 transactions daily, and SHIB, the native token, has recently seen a price increase. The introduction of the ShibDev portal and ongoing token burns have also contributed to positive sentiment.
SHIB’s price rose by 2.5% to $0.00001342, reflecting broader market trends and increased investor interest, as indicated by a surge in futures open interest and derivatives volume. The token’s bullish outlook is supported by recent social media buzz and strategic ecosystem developments.
