Mint Club is making a strategic wager on Shibarium, betting that the layer-2 network’s speed, low cost, and vibrant Shiba Inu community will be a winning combination in the decentralized arena.
Following Shiba Inu’s announcement that it is opening its doors to developers and ERC-20 tokens, Mint Club did not waste time and posted on X that it “successfully added Shibarium” to its platform. This integration allows users to create and manage tokens on Shibarium, leveraging Mint Club’s user-friendly interface and the network’s faster, cheaper transactions.
Mint Club’s marketing lead, Jay Jang, explained in an exclusive interview with The Shib Daily, that the move was a strategic decision based on several key factors. “Shibarium’s faster and cheaper transactions, compared to Ethereum’s mainnet, align perfectly with Mint Club’s goal of providing an affordable and seamless experience,” Jang said.
He emphasized Mint Club’s platform flexibility, which empowers users to create ERC-20 backed assets across over 15 networks. Crucially, Jang highlighted the Shiba Inu community as “one of the most vibrant and engaged in Web3,” seeing the integration as a way to “encourage collaboration between two dynamic ecosystems.”
This partnership offers significant potential benefits for both communities. Shiba Inu holders gain new avenues for utilizing $BONE and other Shibarium-based tokens, including creating and trading community-backed tokens.

This, in turn, is expected to boost Shibarium adoption and enhance the overall value of the Shiba Inu ecosystem. “Mint Club provides Shiba Inu holders with new ways to utilize $BONE… such as creating and trading community-backed tokens,” Jang noted. He also pointed out that Mint Club’s software development kit (SDK) offers Shiba Inu holders no-code token creation and liquidity management tools, simplifying the process of building unique projects on Shibarium.
Furthermore, the integration addresses a gap in Shibarium’s current dApp landscape. While the network hosts various decentralized applications, including staking, DAO, and swap platforms, it previously lacked a token launcher utilizing $BONE as a parent token.
Mint Club’s platform, leveraging the bonding curve mechanism, allows for the creation of instantly tradable assets backed by $BONE. “When users buy a $BONE-backed child token,” Jang explained, “the $BONE is locked in the bonding curve pool, acting as liquidity.” This mechanism enables seamless trading of newly created tokens. Additionally, MintClub’s NFT creation feature allows community members to design and mint unique ERC-1155 tokens on Shibarium.

Mint Club itself is a platform designed to democratize access to NFTs. Unlike traditional marketplaces primarily focused on art and collectibles, Mint Club offers customizable NFT solutions for various use cases, including memberships, rewards programs, and digital collectibles. Its user-friendly interface and customizable solutions make it a versatile tool for individuals and businesses looking to leverage NFTs.
By integrating with Shibarium, Mint Club is not only expanding its own reach but also providing the Shiba Inu community with powerful tools to further develop their ecosystem. This strategic move represents a calculated bet on the future of decentralized finance, with both platforms poised to benefit from the growing synergy between their respective communities and technologies.
