“Patience is key, and some see Shibarium as a price-pumping tool, but that is not the project's focus
and never has been.”

A key update in the new announcement is one of the most-requested features for the project, which is a burning mechanism for SHIB. According to the developers, “all transactions on the network will have an implicit burn amount for SHIB token.“ This >mechanism will occur whenever a transaction is made within the network.
