Lucie, the chief marketing strategist for Shiba Inu, has brought significant focus to the SHI stablecoin. She elaborated on its potential role as a cornerstone for Shibarium, stressing its importance in ensuring stability and functionality for Layer 2 solutions. Although SHI has yet to debut, its anticipated release is expected to play a key role in the memecoin ecosystem.
What Is the Current Status of SHI Development?
In a statement on September 26, Lucie revealed that progress on the SHI stablecoin is ongoing, introducing it as a concept first mooted by Ryoshi in 2021. The plan was to stabilize SHI at a $0.01 value, although the mechanism for this remains undecided. Ongoing community discussions are exploring various options to refine its structure effectively.
How Does SHI Impact Shibarium?
SHI is poised to be a vital asset for Shibarium, a Layer 2 blockchain, by enhancing stability and broadening its application scope. It aims to deepen DeFi integration, boost liquidity, improve interoperability, and ensure transaction security. Lucie emphasized that SHI strives to strengthen the Shiba ecosystem’s features, aiming to contribute to a robust decentralized financial framework.
