Like several other well-known crypto-based virtual worlds, including The Sandbox (SAND) and Decentraland (MANA), Shiba Inu’s metaverse will have virtual land for sale.
The “Shiba Lands” will be available for purchase or auctions with LEASH tokens “really soon,” the blog post said, explaining that a queue system is being worked on for interested buyers to ensure that community members who hold LEASH tokens get early access.
Additionally, the team also said it is working on an “anti-dump system” for LEASH tokens. The system is intended to “protect LEASH holders,” the team said, without going into further specifics.
“Owning a piece of Shiba Real Estate will bring an array of benefits! We are not stopping, this is just the beginning,” the Shiba Inu team wrote.
