The World Economic Forum (WEF) has invited Shytoshi Kusama, the lead developer of the meme coin Shiba Inu to work on building a global Metaverse Policy.

In a recent tweet, the meme coin developer solicited a quick voting round seeking their consent regarding the invitation to work with WEF on its global Metaverse Policy. Hence, he reassured the community that it was all about their decision. 

Currently, over 18000 votes have been cast for the poll, with about 60% accepting the offer for partnership with the WEF. Earlier, Kasuma had clarified that the WEF metaverse-related project would also involve Meta, Sandbox, and Decentraland

Despite the positive development, the SHIB token continues to decline in price.

Shib Community Place Hopes On Shibarium

The SHIB community remains expectant of the Shibarium launch, a Layer 2 scaling protocol that would be built on the SHIB Protocol. The Shibarium would function more like an individual network according to its design.

Furthermore, Shibarium has a built-in system that would enable holders to burn their tokens and reduce its exorbitant supply. Presently, Shiba Eternity, a blockchain-based card game launched in September, would be an option for the SHIB community to burn their SHIB tokens pending the arrival of the Shibarium.
