The Shiba Inu group has been buzzing with hypothesis concerning the upcoming launch of Shibarium, the layer-2 community for the Ethereum blockchain.

This hypothesis was fueled by a cryptic standing message from lead developer Shytoshi Nakamoto, who wrote on Twitter that he was “tending the Pine Tree of Life” and “shortly studying to play the flute earlier than placing Shibarium in a heart-shaped field with a bow.”

This assertion, with its point out of a “heart-shaped field,” has led some members of the group to take a position that the launch of Shibarium may happen on Valentine’s Day.

In a latest Telegram dialog, a group member requested Nakamoto to make clear these rumors, to which the lead developer responded, “Why would I make clear what was mentioned when there is not any want.”

Whereas Nakamoto’s response didn’t verify or deny the hypothesis in regards to the launch date, the Shiba Inu group continues to eagerly await updates from the event crew.

Shibarium, which goals to resolve such points as scalability, velocity, and transaction prices, is predicted to have a lot decrease charges than the Ethereum mainnet. In response to a preliminary description, it would give attention to metaverse and gaming functions.

The layer-2 resolution is poised to play a major position within the progress of the Shiba Inu ecosystem. Its sprawling ecosystem has three tokens with a mixed market capitalization of roughly $5 billion.

The Shiba Inu group stays on edge because the launch date approaches, with some speculating {that a} Valentine’s Day shock might be in retailer. Nevertheless, with Nakamoto declining to make clear the rumors, solely time will inform what the event crew has in retailer for Shibarium.
