Dogecoin and Shiba Inu Updates and Developments

On June 5, 2022, we saw an in-depth look at the latest Dogecoin (DOGE) update 1.14.6 release, which was written by Dogecoin core developer Patrick Lodder.

Some of the developments listed here include enhanced wallet protection, fixes for potential DOGE vulnerabilities, fixes for known Bitcoin (BTC) vulnerabilities, and improved handling of address messages.

There are also many additional things included here, such as dependency updates and overall cleanup.

On June 7, we covered how Europe’s largest exchange, Bitstamp, listed Shiba Inu (SHIB), a listing that occurred after Bitstamp promised the SHIB community that it was going to list the dog-themed token in 2022.

Furthermore, Shiba Inu is also gaining a lot of attention after numerous reports that Shibarium, which is a layer-2 blockchain around the network, is nearing completion.

On June 8, the XFUND mainnet upgrade is expected to occur, with the SHIB community believing that it is good news for the release. In fact, the community believes that this mainnet upgrade is somehow connected to the Shibarium Layer-2 launch.\
