Despite the ongoing price suppression and the current lull in the broader crypto market, the SHIB army maintains a long-term perspective and is confident in Shiba Inu’s future potential.

Notably, since its launch in 2020, the network has seen significant updates and milestones. This progression has led Shibizens, a prominent X account dedicated to the Shiba Inu ecosystem, to declare that Shibarium, the Layer-2 blockchain supporting the Shiba Inu network, is now entering its “Golden Age.”

They argued on Thursday that this transformative moment mirrors historical periods of innovation and growth like America’s Gilded Age and post-World War II Golden Age, positioning Shibarium as a mature, infrastructure-driven system with real-world potential.

According to Shibizens, Shibarium is shifting from its “green” era of experimentation to a phase marked by durability, structure, and value. Just as the Gilded Age saw America’s economy explode through railroads, oil, and steel, Shibarium is now building its backbone with blockchains, bridges, validators, DeFi protocols, and Karma-based infrastructure. 

“It’s no longer a toy; it’s a system,” they tweeted, cautioning, however, that vigilance is key to transparently addressing early flaws and centralization risks.

The parallels extend to the post-WWII Golden Age, when innovation in space technology and automobiles propelled America forward. Shibarium, they say, is nurturing a decentralized developer class, enabling apps, games, NFTs, and metaverse experiences without Ethereum’s high gas fees. 

This shift from speculation to systems, from memes to mechanics, is where utility becomes culture. Similarly, Shibarium’s evolution echoes the 1990s-2000s tech boom, with its Layer-3 beta, BONE as a gas token, TREAT for new use cases, and Karma systems gamifying engagement. 

“This is Shibarium’s Web3 moment—a Gold Age where everything is being rebuilt, chain by chain, contract by contract,” Shibizens added.

LUCIE, Shiba Inu’s lead marketer, echoed this optimism, tweeting, “Shibarium’s Gold Age is here. From green to gold—Shibarium is building its legacy.” She emphasized the roles of SHIB as the ecosystem’s heart, BONE as transaction fuel, TREAT as a utility tool, and LEASH as exclusive access for early supporters. These elements expand utility, drive engagement, and scale infrastructure, keeping SHIB central to a strengthening network. 

Meanwhile, for holders, this “Golden Age” means more than hype; it’s about durable infrastructure, real-world integration, and growing token demand.

That said, recent milestones underscore this growth. Since launching in August 2023, Shibarium has processed over 1 billion transactions, a feat that outpaces even Bitcoin’s early years. With over 10 million mined blocks and nearly 194 million unique addresses, the ecosystem is expanding rapidly. As per Shibizens, the development of Layer-3, powered by Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), promises privacy-driven adoption, with encrypted smart contracts and secure user engagement poised to fuel the next business boom.
