The Shiba Inu ecosystem has taken a major step forward with the closed beta launch of Shiba Eternity, the first game built on the Shibarium blockchain. Shiba Inu’s CMO Lucy detailed the release schedule and game features in a comprehensive announcement on X today, marking a pivotal moment for the popular meme coin’s transition into a more utility-based ecosystem.
Shiba Inu Gets Its First Shibarium-Based Game
Lucy’s Ad details “It’s a complete overhaul of the previous version of the game. Attention fans! The closed beta for Shiba Eternity has been launched. It’s not just the old game with some updates, it’s a complete transformation to Web3 with major upgrades,” Lucy revealed.
The game now runs on the Shibarium mainnet, which supports non-fungible tokens (NFTs). This integration enables a decentralized gaming experience, where player inventory cards are represented as NFTs, thus ensuring verifiable ownership and tradability within the ecosystem.
The core of the game’s architecture is now based on the Shibarium blockchain technology. This shift allows for a seamless and secure gaming experience, using blockchain technology to manage in-game assets and transactions.
Furthermore, Shiba Eternity offers a competitive ranking mode, where players participate in 15-day tournaments.
Rankings in these tournaments are determined by players’ performance, with rewards distributed based on their final ranking. Exclusive tournaments are available for the top 25 players from Ranked Mode, and feature seasonal events that offer unique rewards.
It’s worth noting that the game has undergone significant improvements overall, including an updated tutorial, a polished menu interface, streamlined arsenal management, and smoother overall performance. The new rewards system offers improved quests, faster progression through the game, and special welcome gifts for players transitioning from the Web2 versions of the game.
Release Schedule
Early access to the closed beta of Shiba Eternity was granted today, August 21, exclusively to those who staked LEASH tokens. These participants can connect their smart wallets via ShibaSwap to participate in the game. This early access phase is crucial to gather user feedback and ensure stability ahead of a wider release.
Then, on September 5, access will be expanded to holders of specific NFTs within the Shiba Inu ecosystem, namely The Shiboshis and The Shiba Eternity Lore collections. An open beta has yet to be announced. “No LEASH or NFTs? Don’t worry! The open beta is on its way, giving everyone a chance to enter Dogjo,” Lucy stated.
Lucy also issued a security warning and stressed the importance of being vigilant against scams: “Beware of scams! Only connect your wallet through official platforms. Never click on links from unknown sources on X or anywhere else. Always enter the official website address manually and double-check before connecting your wallet.”
At the time of publishing this report, SHIB stock was trading at $0.00001362.
