The Shiba Inu community is eagerly anticipating several developments in 2023, including the mainnet launch of Shibarium, which has recently entered beta testing. Additionally, there is growing interest in the Shiba Inu network’s involvement in the emerging Metaverse. To keep the community informed about these developments, updates on the progress of SHIB: The Metaverse have been released.

The Shiba Inu network made an announcement on Twitter today, revealing that they will soon be unveiling Rocket Pond. The team has encouraged the community to submit any questions or concerns related to the Metaverse, which will be addressed in an upcoming blog update. The Shiba Inu team is actively seeking input from the community to ensure that their concerns are heard and addressed.

The Rocket Pond was initially introduced in September 2022 as a concept for a “hidden resort” in the upcoming SHIB Metaverse. The Shiba Inu team released a black-and-white sketch of the Rocket Pond via Shibaswap, followed by a colored concept image three days later. It was later revealed that the inspiration for this ethereal resort came from famous American locations like Lake Tahoe and Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park. The upcoming update from the Shiba Inu team is expected to provide additional details about the Rocket Pond concept.

However, It is currently unclear whether the Rocket Pond concept will include all the features previously mentioned. The Metaverse team has updated the project’s plan and goals, as mentioned in the latest blog post. The team is now focusing on providing users with a more immersive experience, and they are building and improving other hubs for the community. The team is fully committed to enhancing the user’s experience within the Metaverse.

Will the Pending of Metaverse Plans Affect Shabarium Launch?

While many prominent companies worldwide have been canceling or putting on hold their Metaverse plans, the Shiba Inu network has been steadfastly pursuing its objective. The SHIB Army has given the network a boost in confidence, unlike other major platforms. The Shiba Inu ecosystem has a dedicated and faithful following that has contributed to its progress.

Notably, the Shiba Inu project has garnered attention from numerous major companies and even Hollywood, making its entry into the virtual world highly anticipated. 

However, some critics have called out the network for delaying Shibarium, suggesting that the community is more interested in Shibarium than the Metaverse.

 Despite this, the Shiba Inu project is still expected to make a significant impact in the virtual world and has drawn interest from a wide range of sources.
