Shiba Inu recently announced the official launch of customizable rollups, technically known as appchains, to Shibarium. Rollups-as-a-service (RaaS) Ethereum ecosystem. Welcome to Shib Rollups! This innovative launch fuels developers with advanced capabilities to build their very own completely customizable Layer 2 blockchains, providing highly specialized environments purpose-built for decentralized applications (dApps). Shib Rollups are officially live! Projects are able to benefit from Ethereum’s security, lower fees, and increased throughput on the application layer.
Unlocking Custom Blockchains with Shib Rollups
Shib Rollups is a protocol for developers to easily spin up and deploy their own customizable Layer 2 blockchains on Shibarium. This infrastructure allows projects to easily create their own blockchains, while remaining tethered to the larger Shibarium network, enhancing security and stability. Shiba Inu’s legacy infrastructure coordinates transactions sequencing and data across all rollups, simplifying the development process.
With the Shib Rollup Creator, developers can choose which token is used for gas fees, providing more flexibility and customization. Through providing these specialized blockchain environments, Shiba Inu hopes to provide a more scalable, app-focused future for its entire ecosystem.
Benefits of Building on Shibarium
Projects developed on Shibarium through Shib Rollups get the enhanced security afforded by Ethereum. Simultaneously, they benefit from significantly lower per transaction fees. Beyond the blockchain capacity, the Layer 2 network offers higher throughput on the application layer, improving approval speed and computation cost of dApps.
"all of these transactions will end up settling on Shibarium, which makes Shibarium a data availability layer, another huge utility for Shibarium and for Bone" - Shytoshi Kusama
The seamless integration with Shibarium helps foster an environment built on security and efficiency. It further boosts the usefulness of Shibarium’s native token, Bone, as well.
Powered by Shib Alpha Layer
Shib Rollups is powered by Shiba Inu's recently introduced Shib Alpha Layer, a key component of the network's evolving architecture. This layer makes it possible to create and manage customizable rollups, unlocking a more scalable and adaptable blockchain ecosystem.
"an exciting piece of technology that we’ve been quietly working on for multiple months… something that’s really exciting, truly helps us scale" - Shytoshi Kusama
The Shib Alpha Layer orchestrates the smart contract logic that ensures the functionality and performance of Shib Rollups. Shibarium onboards new developers and projects. This is another major step forward in Shiba Inu’s technological advancements.
