Shibarium Network is not yet live, but Shibtools offers staking opportunities for $SHIBT token holders. These holders can stake their $SHIBT tokens and earn interest rates up to 60% annually. The best part of the Shibtools staking is that token holders can unstake their tokens anytime they want. There may be concerns about inflation, but the Shibtools ecosystem is designed to handle this. Most of the fees generated from Shibtools decentralized applications will be used to buy back and burn $SHIBT tokens, further mitigating the effects of inflation.
