The Shiba Inu (SHIB) ecosystem has advanced with the release of the Shiba Eternity closed beta, its first game on the Shibarium blockchain. Lucie, the Shiba Inu marketing lead, announced the update on X, marking a major shift towards a utility-focused ecosystem.
She also warned against scams and that users should only connect their wallet through official platforms and avoid links via unknown sources in addition to always verifying the official website address before connecting.
 
Making History
Lucie revealed that the latest version of Shiba Eternity is a complete overhaul rather than a simple update, before going on to claim that this is not just the old game with a few tweaks as it is instead a full transition to Web3 with major upgrades.
The game operates on the Shibarium mainnet and supports NFTs, allowing a decentralized gaming experience where inventory cards are NFTs, ensuring verifiable ownership and tradeability. The infrastructure of the game is also now built on the Shibarium blockchain, providing secure asset management and transactions. In addition, it features a ranked mode with 15 day tournaments, rewards based on performance, and exclusive events for top players.
 
Release Schedule
Significant improvements include an updated tutorial, refined menu, streamlined armory management, and enhanced performance. The new reward system offers better quests and faster progression, with special gifts for players who previously played the Web2 versions of the game.
The closed beta, accessible since August 21st, 2024, is available to LEASH token stakers who can connect their smart wallets via ShibaSwap. On September 5th, access will expand to holders of specific Shiba Inu NFTs, including The Shiboshis and The Shiba Eternity Lore collections. An open beta release will be announced later.
Despite recent price drops, Shiba Inu has shown notable improvements in key metrics, suggesting a potential price recovery after a period of decline.
