Since the post went viral, members of the Shiba Inu community have taken to the comment section to give their predictions for the upcoming announcement.

The predictions range from a new technology release to potential partnerships that could bolster the widespread adoption of Shiba Inu.

The news comes a week after Kusama was named among the top 50 most influential people in the crypto space. This recognition was due to his role in transforming Shiba Inu into a key decentralized finance (DeFi) player.

The team behind the award praised Kusama and Shiba Inu team members for building a decentralized network state capable of dominating the Web 3.0 and DeFi sectors.
For context, Shibarium, the highly-anticipated L2 scaling solution, was the most prominent technology Shiba Inu launched this year.

It is interesting to note that Shibarium has become one of the leading blockchain solutions in the industry, with its adoption soaring significantly in recent times. The network boasts 111.53 million total transactions and over 1.3 million wallet addresses at press time.

Upcoming Shibarium Christmas Giveaway Party

It is worth mentioning that the period slated for the reveal of the so-called big announcement corresponds with the upcoming “special Shibarium Christmas Giveaway party.”

The upcoming giveaway party will be held on December 20 at 17:00 (UTC) in an X Spaces.

As revealed by Lucie, the giveaway party will allow SHIB enthusiasts to hang out with top Shiba Inu official partners, including Bad Idea AI (BAD), SHIB-themed fast food Welly, and Shibacals.

In a recent X post, Lucie revealed that event organizers will giveaway 10 Shiba Inu-themed Tangem wallets and another 10 BAD-themed wallets from the crypto storage provider.

The giveaway event is part of an effort to appreciate Shiba Inu community members for their unending support throughout the year.

In the meantime, members of the Shiba Inu community are asking about the three Shibarium-powered SHIB burns slated for this week.

Hey uh….. what about these burns y’all been talking about? “Massive manual burns 14th, 15th and 16th”….. by my calendar it is the 14th…. By the other side of the world it is the 15th…..🤔🤔
