The post Shiba Inu Goes Serious: Shib Alpha Layer Marks End Of Meme Era appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

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. Shib Alpha Layer Beta Launch 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. 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.
