SHIB: The Metaverse Advisor Brandie Cuono invited anyone around the location to check out Shiba Inu’s WAGMI Temple for themselves.

SHIB: The Metaverse Aims to Enable the Storyteller

The Asian-style WAGMI Temple is the first installment in a series of HUBs for SHIB: The Metaverse. The other highlights of the metaverse roadmap include the modern urbanistic Tech Trench, Rocket Pond – a luxurious resort near a beach, and Canyon Hub for sightseeing. 

On top of that, the famed English-Italian fashion designer John Richmond will do the styling and designs of virtual clothes and special edition NFTs for the metaverse. The Web3 project by SHIB Token revolves around a collaboration between the vast community of the SHIB Army and the devs, as already seen in the whirlwind of applications on Shibarium Tech.

In the recent SXSW panel discussion called “Ready. Set. Metaverse”, more details on Shiba Inu’s Web3 venture were revealed. The team aims to build the metaverse for a sustainable community, thus putting the power in the hands of the storyteller, according to SHIB: The Metaverse team Creative Advisor Marcie Jastrow.

Are these the (final?) dimensions of a single land in the #Metaverse?

Seems like a good size to build something decent!
