These land plots are priced between 0.2 Ethereum and 1 Ethereum, where the team decided to use a neutral cryptocurrency for the price to make sure Shiba native coins would not have any downfall risks.
“Using our Ecosystem Tokens is a risk, as we would need to dump our own tokens price cashing them! And that’s far away from our plans,” developers stated during the announcement.
The announcement also said:
We will be introducing the first special role that Shiba Inu $SHIB will play in the Metaverse. By welcoming a mechanic to burn $SHIB independently while renaming your land plot, furthermore, this should start soon after land events and public sale have ended.

Another tweet was targeting the Shiba community, where he said “every random shib avatar insulting me really proves how wonderful your community is.” While a third tweet was claiming that the project is pointless.
