Exclusive Access through LEASH Staking
Shiba Eternity, the highly anticipated Play-to-Earn (P2E) game from the Shiba Inu ecosystem, is set to launch its Web3 version on the Shibarium network.
The announcement was made by Angel, who is leading the Shiba games team, revealing that the closed beta is expected to be released "this week."
A key requirement for accessing the game is the staking of LEASH tokens.
This requirement not only provides players with exclusive entry into the game but also aligns them with the ShibArmy elite.
Staking LEASH tokens highlights the commitment to fostering a robust and active community for the game.
Future Accessibility and Community Engagement
After the initial release, the game will become accessible to a broader audience. Those holding at least one Shiboshi, Sheboshi, or Shiba Eternity Lore NFT will also gain entry.
This move ensures that dedicated members of the Shiba Inu ecosystem can experience the new Web3 version of Shiba Eternity, fostering a sense of inclusivity and reward for loyal ShibArmy members.
The anticipation around the Shiba Eternity Web3 version is building, promising an innovative and immersive experience for players.
The game aims to set new standards in the collectible card game genre, leveraging the power of the Shibarium network and the strong community backing of the Shiba Inu project.
Integration with Shibarium and Economic Impact
The integration of Shiba Eternity with the Shibarium blockchain is expected to revolutionise digital gaming and ownership.
Lucie, the marketing lead for Shiba Inu, highlighted the game's importance to the ecosystem, noting that
"Shiba Eternity will be our first game to fully run on Shibarium. This game will be a big step forward."
The game will utilise BONE for all transactions conducted on the blockchain, leading to the burning of SHIB tokens, thus adding value to the ecosystem.
Lucie explained,
"The more people play Shiba Eternity, the more transactions will happen on Shibarium, the more BONE will be used, the more SHIB will be burned."
Transformative NFT Integration and Enhanced Gameplay
Upon successful integration with Shibarium, Shiba Eternity's game cards will be converted into Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), which can be stored in smart wallets and traded on the upcoming Shib marketplace.
Each card will be uniquely designed, making them more valuable to players.
The game will also feature an improved interface, a better reward system, and a new tournament format to enhance the gameplay experience.
The introduction of ranked tournaments will feature 15-day cycles across 14 divisions, allowing players to earn points for victories and progress from White Belt to Grandmaster.
This competitive structure ensures a highly engaging and dynamic gaming experience.
Strategic Gameplay and Deck Management
Shiba Eternity's Web3 upgrade brings several strategic gameplay enhancements designed to deepen player engagement.
Players will build 30-card decks and manage their “Bark” (mana) pool to attack, defend, and use special abilities.
The game concludes when one player’s stamina reaches zero, making strategic combat a crucial aspect.
Players will need to effectively manage their decks, utilising fighters, spells, and weapons to achieve victory.
New features, such as the ability to stun enemy cards and recover from attacks using BARK tokens, add depth to the game’s strategic elements.
Beta Testing and Future Prospects
The closed beta phase for Shiba Eternity is set to begin in the next quarter. This phase will focus on assessing the game’s performance on the Shibarium network before extending beta access to the public.
The comprehensive beta testing schedule emphasises rigorous testing within Shibarium’s layer-2 scaling solution, ensuring a smooth and robust gaming experience upon full release.
Loyal players transitioning from the Web2 to Web3 version will receive a special appreciation gift pack as a token of gratitude.
Economic and Strategic Significance of LEASH
LEASH tokens play a critical role as both an access and exclusivity token within the Shiba Inu ecosystem.
With a supply capped at 107,565, LEASH tokens hold significant weight in the ecosystem’s governance and strategic direction.
Lucie hinted that LEASH might play a crucial role in future airdrops, gaining access to the SHIB Metaverse, and other developments within the ecosystem.
The use of LEASH tokens for accessing Shiba Eternity highlights their strategic significance and the ecosystem’s commitment to creating value for its community.
From Meme to Metaverse: Shiba Inu's Epic Evolution
Started as a playful digital pup in the memecoin craze, Shiba Inu has defied expectations by morphing into a sprawling crypto ecosystem.
What began as a community-driven experiment has blossomed into a complex network encompassing multiple tokens, a decentralised exchange, NFTs, and even a metaverse.
Fueled by an ardent fanbase, Shiba Inu's journey from internet sensation to formidable blockchain player is a testament to the power of community and innovation in the crypto world.
Will SHIB Hit $0.01?
As Shiba Eternity transitions into its Web3 phase and integrates more deeply with the Shibarium network, there is growing speculation about the potential for SHIB to reach $0.01.
The game's success and the increased usage of BONE and SHIB for transactions and staking could drive demand and value for the SHIB token.
The strategic burning of SHIB through gameplay and transactions on Shibarium may further reduce supply and enhance scarcity, potentially pushing the token's price closer to the $0.01 mark.
As of writing, SHIB is now trading at a value of $0.00001635, marking a 5% decline over the past week.
