Shiba Inu holders gear up for Shiba Eternity tournament

Shiba Inu ecosystem holds a monthly tournament for Shiba Eternity; Kusama recently announced an increase in the rewards to $500 for first place and $250 for second and third place. 

Kusama found a sponsor for the prize pool, Dogpad Finance, the official launchpad ecosystem for Shibarium, sponsored the rewards. The tournament’s frequency will be increased to twice a month, offering players an opportunity to reap the benefits of the rewards. 

Shiba Inu price has nosedived nearly 10% since February 26. The SHIB community is awaiting the launch of the layer-2 scaling solution Shibarium. The launch of the scaling solution is expected to catalyze a recovery in the Dogecoin-killer meme coin. 

Kusama recently called public attention to a MetaMask feature aimed at improving the gaming experience for players. This move fueled the speculation that the lead developer might consider integrating Shiba Eternity with MetaMask.

The Dogecoin-killer meme coin is in a downtrend starting on February 26. SHIB price nosedived from $0.00001219 to $0.00001113 in response to the Silvergate FUD.
