Shiba Inu has expanded its ecosystem with the launch of “SHIB: The Metaverse”, now available in Early Access.
This virtual environment invites users to explore, construct and connect in a blockchain-powered digital space. Powered by Shibarium’s custom blockchain, the platform offers over 100,000 lands, a portion of which has been unlocked for early access.
The Metaverse is designed to be accessible to a broad audience and is free for Windows PC users to explore and use. With this release, the project aims to provide new opportunities for user participation, customization and interaction within a decentralized framework.
What is SHIB: Metaverse?
SHIB: The Metaverse is a digital world with 100,595 individual lands.
During the early access phase, 36,431 plots have been made available in four different zones: Growth, Defense, Technology and Monetary. Designed to balance private ownership with public space, these areas include hubs such as Ryoshi Plaza and WAGMI Temple, promoting social interaction and ease of navigation.
Users can participate in a variety of activities, including land customization, avatar creation, and social networking. The Drawing Generator tool enables landowners to modify their drawings using pre-designed elements, and future updates will allow for custom 3D uploads. Avatar Builder provides options for creating and personalizing digital representations, and future updates are expected to provide even more functionality.
Metaverse also supports communication via text and voice chat, allowing for real-time social interaction.
What can we expect from SHIB: Metaverse?
The platform has been developed over several years with a focus on creating tools that encourage creativity and engagement. SHIB: Metaverse is currently optimized for Windows PC, with minimum specs including 16 GB RAM and a GTX 1080 GPU. Higher specifications are recommended to ensure a smoother experience for advanced system users.
Future updates will expand desktop browser accessibility and introduce advanced tools for landowners, including e-commerce capabilities and interactive game-building capabilities. The ability to build bridges between Shibarium and Ethereum will also enhance trading options on platforms like OpenSea.
For those interested, an early access version is available for free on the official website. Whether it’s exploring hubs, customizing plots, or connecting with others, SHIB: Metaverse offers a variety of opportunities to engage and interact in its early stages.
