Shiba Inu has seen a remarkable transformation, with its community actively working to shed the memecoin image. This effort has led to creation of various utilities for SHIB over time.
The decentralized SHIB ecosystem now includes several notable projects like Shibaswap, Shiba Eternity, and Shibacals. These positive developments have motivated the Shiba Inu growth team to plan the introduction of even more projects.
One highly anticipated addition is Shibarium, a layer-2 scaling solution that significantly improves Shiba Inu’s scalability, gas fees, and overall network efficiency. This exciting advancement was confirmed by the lead ecosystem developer based on a snapshot shared on Twitter by Bad Idea AI today.

Shibarium’s Next Phase and Bad Idea AI’s Role in the Shiba Inu Ecosystem
Shytoshi Kusama, the lead developer of Shiba Inu, highlighted the pivotal role that Bad Idea AI would play in the evolution of the SHIB ecosystem. As a recent partner of Shiba Inu, the AI-focused project is set to contribute significantly to the future development of SHIB.
Addressing community speculations surrounding his upcoming speech at ETH Toronto, Kusama clarified that the real significance lay in their partners’ involvement. He emphasized the importance of these collaborations in expanding the SHIB ecosystem.
Kusama revealed that Shibarium’s mainnet launch would occur during the Blockchain Futurist Conference scheduled for August 15 to 16 in Toronto. This highly anticipated event marks a new phase for SHIB, as Shibarium’s layer-2 scaling solution promises improved scalability, reduced gas fees, and enhanced network efficiency.
Bad Idea AI has actively engaged in partnerships within the Shiba Inu community. Recently, they collaborated with Shibacals to launch a digital collection, which will be unveiled during the Blockchain Futurist Conference. Following their official partnership with Shiba Inu, the AI project successfully passed its smart contract security audit, leading to the listing of its native token, BAD, on the Poloniex exchange.
At press time, Shiba Inu was trading at $0.00000823 per coin.
