The posts by the duo have the SHIB community buzzing and theorizing about what “Evita” might represent. Some believe it could hint at a new partnership, while others suggest it may indicate the launch of a new token. This new variant will join the existing community tokens including SHIB, BONE, LEASH, and TREAT.
The SHIB community is no stranger to the cryptic messages of Shytoshi Kusama. Despite the ambiguous nature of his teaser, the SHIB developer lead has a track record of eventually unveiling his intentions. This nature keeps the community engaged and excited. Community members are therefore anticipating an unveiling of the mystery.
Shibarium Hard Fork and SHIB Response to the Teaser
Whilst awaiting clarification, some in the community are already speculating that the teaser could be linked to the recent hard fork of Shibarium, Shiba Inu’s layer-2 blockchain solution. The upgrade provides faster transaction speeds and more predictable gas fees, marking a major milestone for the SHIB ecosystem.
As the SHIB community eagerly anticipates further developments, a recent surge saw 780 new accounts established on Shibarium within 24 hours. The activity spike was massive with a 1,733% growth rate boost within the network.
While the excitement continues to build with each new cryptic message, the community remains on high alert for additional clues, eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the Shiba Inu story.
