Shiba Inu Rolls Out Shib Alpha Layer, Kusama Teases AI Whitepaper

The post Shiba Inu Rolls Out Shib Alpha Layer, Kusama Teases AI Whitepaper appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Shiba Inu just picked up real momentum.

After a two-week silence, SHIB lead developer Shytoshi Kusama is back online with a teaser that’s stirring up the ecosystem. In a post on X, he hinted at a long-in-the-works whitepaper focused on artificial intelligence, just hours before fellow developer Kaal Dhairya announced the beta launch of Shib Alpha Layer, a powerful new Layer 3 network built on Shibarium.

The message is loud and clear: SHIB is done playing small.

Kusama’s Comeback Signals Bigger Plans

Kusama hasn’t posted since May 30. But when he finally returned, he made it count.

Referencing the SHIB ecosystem’s partner TokenPlayAI (powered by Astra Nova), Kusama said it’s part of a larger strategy that’s been in the works for months. And it won’t stay under wraps for long.

“This is part of a much larger AI strategy we have been developing for months,” he wrote. “I’ll speak more about my view on AI and our partners in an upcoming AI focused whitepaper.”

He’s also updated his X bio to reflect this direction, stating that he’s working on “a final white paper exploring Ai, Shib, Shy.”

While details are still limited, this marks a deliberate move toward positioning SHIB as a key player in tech-forward development.

Enter: Shib Alpha Layer (Beta)

While Kusama was teasing vision, Dhairya delivered something more solid.

In a post of his own, the developer revealed that Shib Alpha Layer, the project’s new Layer 3 rollup abstraction stack, is now live in beta. It’s built with ElderLabs and runs on Shibarium as its settlement layer.

So what’s under the hood? Quite a bit:

A single-chain experience that hides the complexity of rollups

Lightning-fast transactions and near-instant confirmations

The ability to pay gas fees not just in BONE, but in other tokens and stablecoins

Enhanced privacy features, modular app support, and more

Instant bridging and interoperability coming soon

Dhairya summed it up with one statement that says it all: “Today we flip the script… Meme era ends here. The Shib Alpha era begins.”

A New Chapter for SHIB

What a shift in identity!

The rollout of a high-speed Layer 3 network, paired with an upcoming whitepaper and long-term tech strategy, suggests SHIB’s developers are building for something much bigger than hype cycles.

Dhairya even emphasized that this wasn’t backed by VC money or marketing machines – just a small team of engineers pushing out real products. Round of applause! 

SHIB seems to be busy writing its own playbook and leaving the meme coin era behind for good.
