The Shiba Inu development crew has rolled out a new tech layer that could shift how people use SHIB. According to reports, the beta version of Shib Alpha Layer went live on June 12, 2025. It’s made in partnership with ElderLabs, and it got built without any VC backing. Now users can test it before the full launch. Related Reading Bitcoin To $1 Million?

Based on reports, the Shib Alpha Layer brings all the separate rollups in the ecosystem under one hood. You won’t need to jump from bridge to bridge. You transact as if you’re 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. User Friendly Experience


Users can pay fees in SHIB, BONE, or any token they hold. That cuts out the problem of having to swap tokens just to cover gas. You’ll also get near‑instant 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. SHIB market cap currently at $6.94 billion. Chart: TradingView Shiba Inu: Security And Privacy Features


Shib Alpha Layer uses ZAMA’s Fully Homomorphic Encryption. That lets smart contracts run on encrypted data, so the logic stays private. It’s 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. Today we flip the script.

For years we’ve been called “just a meme,” spammed with Wen Shibarium?, and drowned in FUD from bots, burnt deadweight ex-team but instead of arguing, we shipped.

Shibarium 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‑chain links. Instant bridging is on the roadmap, too, so moving assets between chains could happen in a click.

The team’s main coder, Kaal Dhairya, pointed out that early critics called SHIB a joke coin. They’d ask “Wen Shibarium?” and spread fear, uncertainty and doubt. He said those jibes didn’t slow them down. Instead, they focused on building. Related Reading Bitcoin Is Just 0.2% Of Global Wealth — And That’s Why It’s Not Too Late: Analyst 15 hours ago


Shytoshi Kusama, another lead developer, popped back on X after a few weeks off to highlight this work. He’s been drafting a whitepaper on how AI could team up with the Shiba Inu network. He also flagged Shiba’s new Web3 gaming push on Astra Nova’s TokenPlay.ai.


Calling an end to SHIB’s “meme era” is a bold claim. 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.
