According to U.Today, Shiba Inu's mainstream advancement is being championed by The Sandbox through a newly unveiled integration for the meme coin. In a mutually beneficial move, The Sandbox game announced that members of the Shiba Inu community can participate in its #RiseOfTheMemecoin campaign.
Since its inception, Shiba Inu has sought new avenues to engage its community, making it open to wide-ranging innovation. Gaming is one of the key growth options the lead developers are always considering, and recognition from The Sandbox is a significant boost. In the #RiseOfTheMemecoin campaign, participants will need to hold both SHIB and SAND to create avatars, which can be used within The Sandbox's metaverse. This update has sparked interest within the Shiba Inu ecosystem, with many in the ShibArmy already exploring collaboration efforts to harness the opportunity.
The collaboration comes at a time when the price of SHIB is experiencing a unique uptick in the market. At the time of writing, Shiba Inu has increased by more than 3% to $0.00001678, with trading volume trying to catch up. With the new demand avenue for SHIB from The Sandbox, the token might see an additional uptick in volume moving forward.
While being featured on The Sandbox shows cross-market recognition for Shiba Inu, the developers of the ecosystem are also pushing new frontiers with games native to Shibarium. The Shiba Eternity game is still under development and, when ready, might help reaffirm the thrill the SHIB ecosystem is known for. The Shibarium protocol is preparing for the explosion of dApps on its chain, with recent upgrades like a hard fork going live. The most intriguing aspects of the Shiba Inu and Shibarium are yet to be revealed by lead developers Shytoshi Kusama and Kaal Dhairya.
