Why It Matters: This comes as Shytoshi Kusama, the lead developer of SHIB, shared a 19-second video clip on Twitter, along with a picture of the dog-head SHIB logo. 

The video which had just a few captions seemed to provide more insight into his tweet. In this video, there is some motion lettering that reads "Something is coming. Actually, we are going somewhere." 

Shibarium was designed as an L2 blockchain platform that permits the development of Decentralized Applications (DApps).
