The community supporting the meme-inspired cryptocurrency Shiba Inu ($SHIB) has been left ecstatic over new cryptocurrency wallet integrations that are expected to massively benefit its ecosystem through increased adoption.
The Shiba Inu army has been waiting for the launch of Shbarium, its layer-2 scaling solution that aims to improve the ecosystem by providing faster transactions at a lower cost. The current Shiba Inu token runs on the Ethereum network, which has scalability issues and low transaction throughput.
Shibarium will use the Proof-of-Stake consensus algorithm and work alongside Ethereum to process transactions. This week Exodus Wallet, one of the oldest non-custodial cryptocurrency wallets, has hinted at an integration of Shibarium.
While the Exodus team has not confirmed its willingness to support the network, it has “logged “Shibarium with its asset team, and hinted the Shiba Inu community could be in for a “delightful surprise” in the future.
If Exodus is to add support for Shibarium, it will join a growing list of platforms that have already announced their support, including Atomic Wallet and hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger. The wallet provider also noted that Shiba Inu investors can add Shibarium support themselves on the wallet, and linked to a guide on how to do so.
Moreover, the Shiba Inu community celebrated a new announcement from the popular cryptocurrency wallet MetaMask, which revealed Unity, a popular video game development platform, has integrated several cryptocurrency platforms into its asset store to facilitate the adoption of Web3 technology and promote decentralization efforts.
Unity has announced the release of a new “Decentralization” category page on its asset store that includes “vetted” crypto platforms to support developers who wish to incorporate decentralization into their projects.
Among the 13 platforms featured on the store is MetaMask, a crypto wallet provider whose software development kit (SDK) can be used by developers to allow users to connect their MetaMask wallet to any game built on Unity.
Shiba Inu stands to benefit from the integration as the project has launched games including Shiba Inu Eternity, and has a Metaverse project as well. Commenting on the news, several SHIBArmy members said it was “huge” on social media.
