Incentivisation: The new TREAT token is also designed to incentivise people for their participation in staking and engaging with SHIB pools.
L3 and L2 applications: BONE is an L3 mechanism supporting the L2 Shibarium chain. Shibarium aims to provide improved infrastructure for executing transactions and interacting with decentralised applications within the Shiba Inu ecosystem.

Will Shiba Inu Hit 1 INR?

There is no perfect way to determine the future or value of a particular token. However, based on our assessment it is highly unlikely that Shiba Inu will hit INR 1 The reasons for the same are mentioned below.

The current price of Shina Inu is INR 0.0014
Its current market capitalization is close to $9.6 billion
If Shiba Inu reaches INR 1, its approximate market capitalization would be 1000x its current market cap which is more than the current market cap of Bitcoin
Given that the utility of SHIBA is far lesser when compared to Bitcoin and several other layer 1 and 2 tokens, it is unlikely that SHIBA will compete with the top 10 crypto tokens.
