Shiba Inu (SHIB) Introduces ShibDev Portal to Empower Developers
Shiba Inu has introduced the ShibDev Portal, a key enabler for developers to build on Shibarium, its Layer 2 scaling blockchain. Lucie, the Shiba Inu marketing lead, gave an overview of what this solution offers. In her X post, Lucie suggested that the ShibDev Portal holds a suite of useful tools and resources, including API management and node access.
Features of the New ShibDev Portal
She explained that the portal offers developers a foundation that makes creating Decentralized Applications (dApps) easier and seamless. It boasts a user-friendly approach that will eventually lower the barrier of entry for both newbies and seasoned developers as it is equipped with the appropriate resources.
Shibarium’s design tackles some of the top challenges blockchains encounter from inception. This encompasses scalability and high transaction fees, thereby improving the speed and cost of dApp creation. The introduction of the ShibDev Portal bolsters Shibarium’s services. With its developer tools, it is bound to foster the growth of the Shib ecosystem.

Markedly, the ShibDev Portal has an at-a-glance centralized dashboard where developers can view key metrics such as node status, API usage, and project progress. Owing to the API key management feature, developers can generate and manage API keys easily through the portal, allowing them to securely connect to Shibarium’s infrastructure.
The streamlined access to Shibarium nodes makes it easier for developers to deploy, test, and execute their dApps smoothly. Developers also get robust access to real-time blockchain data, which is essential for building data-driven applications.
The portal provides test tokens that enable developers to experiment with their dApps in a safe and risk-free environment. As Lucie noted, this ShibDev can support DeFi, NFT and gaming innovations among others.
Shiba Inu Developers Come Up with ShibTorch Portal
This ShibDev Portal is only one of Shiba Inu’s recent additions to its ecosystem. Last month, the protocol deployed a new version of the Bor software (v1.1.2-bone). This also implemented a new burn mechanism designed to automate the burning of SHIB tokens. Dubbed the ShibTorch Portal, this is meant to significantly enhance the value of SHIB.
This aligns with the community’s ongoing efforts to increase the token’s scarcity. However, for Shibarium to burn more tokens, it first needs to see a significant surge in adoption, as more transactions would lead to higher fees, ultimately resulting in greater token burns. In the last few weeks, the protocol has seen more tokens incinerated, bringing it closer to a potential price rebound.
On August 30, the Shibburn tracker noted that the SHIB burn rate spiked by more than 13,900%, leading to the incineration of 96,634,993 SHIB tokens. The ShibTorch Portal is performing the task it was designed to do even though the metrics have slowed in recent times.
