According to reports, the beta version of Shib Alpha Layer went live on June 12, 2025. It\u2019s made in partnership with ElderLabs, and it got built without any VC backing. Now users can test it before the full launch.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Shib Alpha Layer Beta Launch<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Based on reports, the Shib Alpha Layer brings all the separate rollups in the ecosystem under one hood. You won\u2019t need to jump from bridge to bridge. You transact as if you\u2019re on a single chain, even though dozens of rollups run beneath the surface. The project reached beta in record time, and the team says they did it all with their own funds.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>User Friendly Experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Users can pay fees in SHIB, <a href=\"https:\/\/coinmarketcap.com\/currencies\/bone-shibaswap\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">BONE<\/a>, or any token they hold. That cuts out the problem of having to swap tokens just to cover gas. You\u2019ll also get near\u2011instant finality, so transactions show up almost right away. Those features may seem small, but they could pull in people who find current rollup setups clunky and slow.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/hMg7nvWc\/\" width=\"1835\" height=\"884\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Shiba Inu: Security And Privacy Features<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shib Alpha Layer uses ZAMA\u2019s Fully Homomorphic Encryption. That lets smart contracts run on encrypted data, so the logic stays private. It\u2019s rare to see FHE live in a crypto network, but the beta is already up and running. Security audits have been promised before the public release, which should ease some worries about bugs or hacks.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Today we flip the script.<br \/>\nFor years we\u2019ve been called \u201cjust a meme,\u201d spammed with Wen Shibarium?, and drowned in FUD from bots, burnt deadweight ex-team but instead of arguing, we shipped.<\/p>\n<p>Introducing Shib Alpha Layer (beta) \u2014 our rollup abstraction stack built with ElderLabs\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kaal (@kaaldhairya) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kaaldhairya\/status\/1933207600172315088?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">June 12, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Integration With Shibarium<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shibarium.shib.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Shibarium<\/a> is set as the settlement layer under this new system. According to lead developer Kaal Dhairya, every rollup becomes an L3 network, picking up the security that Shibarium offers. Future updates will open up rollup deployment to everyone and boost multi\u2011chain links. Instant bridging is on the roadmap, too, so moving assets between chains could happen in a click.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">READ THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zZcjV0VhHv\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/t.co\/zZcjV0VhHv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Shytoshi Kusama<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/15.1.0\/72x72\/2122.png\" alt=\"\u2122\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em;max-height: 1em\" \/> (@ShytoshiKusama) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ShytoshiKusama\/status\/1933322850099773454?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">June 13, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The team\u2019s main coder, Kaal Dhairya, pointed out that early critics called SHIB a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/meme-coin-6750312\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">joke coin<\/a>.

He\u2019s been drafting a whitepaper on how AI could team up with the Shiba Inu network.

But if the new layer works smoothly, it could mark a shift in how people think about Shiba Inu. Either way, June 12, 2025, will go down as the day this project vied for more than just the dog coin tag.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Shiba Inu development crew has rolled out a new tech layer that could shift how people use SHIB.
