Come Q3-2024, the Shiba Inu community will get a chance to test Shiba Eternity in its modest Web3 phase. The collectible card game will be first available in a closed beta version. The launch is tentatively scheduled to happen alongside the integration of Shibarium in the third quarter of 2024. The objectives of launching it with Shibarium are twofold – first is to elevate the user experience and second is to demonstrate the true value of Shibarium.
The strategic card game was first launched in October 2022 and has garnered a significant number of followers since then. Its core team has credited the success to the title’s gameplay. Angel, the pseudonym games lead of Shiba Inu Games, interacted with the media and said that they have been working tirelessly to bring the collectible card game to Shibarium. They are now hoping that the excitement level matches across the ecosystem.
The launch on Shibarium is a significant step. The integration intends to showcase its unique functionalities like true ownership of in-game assets along with a form of governance that gives more power to the community – potentially proving the strength of its decentralized characteristic. Moreover, the aim is to boost the player-driven economy.
The integration with the launch keeps Shiba Eternity independent.
It aligns with the vision of Shytoshi Kusama that they had stated a couple of years ago. Kusama had said that there was a chance for Shiba Eternity to get a license for utility on Shibarium, adding that it would bring a lot of unique opportunities for the game and its players. They had also hinted at the mechanism that would leverage in-app purchases to burn SHIB and LEASH tokens.
It is right to conclude that the announcement brings the community closer to achieving that vision.
Known for his enigmatic personality, the lead developer said that the opportunity will further cover BONE while the team attempts to add more decentralized elements to its mobile version.
SHIB, the native token, has gained 0.85% in the last 24 hours. It is listed at $0.00001859 at the time of writing this article. It is hard to quote if it is a direct result of the announcement but one can certainly not negate that perspective – considering digital assets react to almost every event plus announcement in the market and outside market.
Its value has, however, declined by 13.93% and 22.32% in the last 7 days and 30 days, respectively. There is a slight uptick in the market cap but there is a heavy dent in the 24-hour trading volume. SHIB remains at the best place for a surge in the next 5 days. The story is pretty different when it comes to changes in a month. The token can go as high as $0.00004198 in the next 5 days and fall to around $0.00001778 by the end of the window of 30 days.
A decline, if it happens, will represent a fall of 5.29% from the current value. The volatility is at 10.02% and sentiments for SHIB are bearish.
Circling back to Shiba Eternity, the community is gearing up to experience its Web3 version with the integration of Shibarium which is slated to happen in the third quarter of 2024. The closed beta version will form a foundation for future updates.
