Shiba Inu Launches Shib Alpha Layer Beta for Enhanced User Experience

The Shiba Inu development team launched the beta version of the Shib Alpha Layer on June 12, 2025. This new tech layer aims to enhance user experience without venture capital backing and allows for testing prior to the full launch.

Key Features of Shib Alpha Layer

Integrates multiple rollups into a single transactional environment, reducing complexity.
Users can pay transaction fees in SHIB, BONE, or other tokens, eliminating the need for token swaps.
Provides near-instant finality for transactions, improving speed.

Security and Privacy

Utilizes ZAMA’s Fully Homomorphic Encryption to enable private smart contract execution.
Security audits will be conducted before public release to address potential vulnerabilities.

Integration with Shibarium

Shibarium serves as the settlement layer, enhancing security for all rollups as L3 networks.
Future updates will facilitate easier rollup deployment and instant asset bridging between chains.

Developers Kaal Dhairya and Shytoshi Kusama emphasize the shift away from meme coin perceptions towards functional technology solutions. The success of the Shib Alpha Layer could redefine Shiba Inu's role in the crypto space.
