The leading blockchain infrastructure service provider NOWNodes announced on Tuesday that it will provide support for the Shibarium layer-2 network. NOWNodes will become one of the first node providers for the upcoming Shiba Inu Shibarium solution.
For the uninitiated, a blockchain Node confirms the legality of each subsequent batch of network transactions, commonly known as blocks. The Nodes generally keep track of the distributed ledger and serve as communication hubs for various tasks on the network.
NOWNodes confirmed that their engineers are currently preparing for a Shibarium release and will provide dedicated access to the network.
“As Shibarium is coming some time later this year, our engineers are preparing for ShibariumNet release. NOWNodes will provide shared and dedicated access to SHIB Shibarium Blockchain,” the tweet read.

However, the service provider has not mentioned when the Shibarium Public Beta Testnet could be launched. A SHIB influencer named YourPOP recently revealed that the Beta could be out by the end of the month. You can read more details about the development here.
Nevertheless, the lead developer of ShibaSwap, Shytoshi Kusama, has repeatedly said that Shibaium Beta will be out “soon.” A tentative release date is not provided by the team.

Unification, the firm that’s building the network, published three different blogs about the developments last year. Shytoshi also published a second Shibarium blog on Monday, highlighting how far they’ve come with the development of the network.
Nonetheless, reading between the lines, the public beta test release could be around the corner. Both Shiba Inu and Bone’s prices could head north in the days leading up to the release. Shibarium’s governing token, Bone also entered the “top 100 cryptocurrency” list on Tuesday before retracing on Wednesday. You can read more details about it here.
