ShibaSwap, the decentralized exchange (DEX) aligned with the Shiba Inu&nbsp;ecosystem, has rolled out a major upgrade — moving to the Shibarium blockchain.&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/05/16/2883154/0/en/ShibaSwap-Comes-Home-Decentralized-Exchange-ShibaSwap-Ports-to-Shibarium-Unleashing-the-Power-of-Community.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">According</a> to a recent press release, the move will offer a “variety of new decentralized exchange and decentralized app (DApp) utilities” for users.&nbsp;
The press release detailed new features including a new dashboard, improved user experience, discovery charts “for new and trending tokens,” and the onboarding process of news tokens on the DEX.&nbsp;

Shiba Inu (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/shiba-inu-price-index">SHIB</a>) lead developer, Shytoshi Kusama commented on the upgrade:
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “The new ShibaSwap empowers DEFI innovators looking for the next hit on Shibarium to find, swap, and interact with community tokens in an entirely new way! It is the redesigned beating heart of a freshly forked Shibarium, where community tokens can flourish. We invite the community to try our new swap and invite current Shibarium tokens to port over to our swap with ease. Finally, rest assured, this new UX is still an early ShibaSwap version, with more updates in the pipeline for the product.”
</blockquote>
The upgrade will utilize “part of the transaction fees portion” to improve the value of liquidity pools (LPs) in swap transactions. This will result in increased LP token value for users and benefiting the yield farmer community, according to the press release.

Fellow pseudonymous SHIB developer and contributor Kaal posted on X explaining that the upgrade rollout will be “focused on discovery” and that more regular “updates and upgrades” should be expected.&nbsp;

At the time of writing, the price of SHIB is $0.0002548 — up almost 7% in the last 24 hours, with the 11th-largest market cap, <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/shiba-inu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">according</a> to CoinMarketCap.&nbsp;
