Shimmer – Unleash the tokenized Morons
The Shimmer network is live! Shimmer extends the DAG ledger with a composable tokenization framework, opening up new possibilities to tokenize everything (NFTs, real-world assets, stablecoins, fan tokens, etc.) natively on Layer 1 without fees. This framework is the foundational basis for Shimmer’s smart contract execution layer, which includes full EVM compatibility with the upcoming ShimmerEVM launch.
The Shimmer network is the staging network of the IOTA ecosystem. Any core protocol improvements and feature upgrades are made available on it first, to help test, validate and expedite the engineering roadmap.
The $SMR Token
The $SMR token is the native token of the Shimmer network. The $SMR token can be used to settle execution fees on smart contract chains, as is the case in the upcoming ShimmerEVM chain. In addition, the $SMR token is used in storage deposits when minting native assets or NFTs on the Shimmer network. The Shimmer token was fairly distributed, with 100% of the initial token supply going to the community. Anyone staking IOTA tokens received $SMR tokens over a three-month staking period. During that time, a total of ~1,450,896,407 SMR was generated from users staking IOTA.
Claiming your $SMR tokens in the Shimmer network is now possible with Firefly. Import your staking wallet backup in Firefly Shimmer to claim your tokens. But first things first: download and install the Firefly Shimmer app from the Firefly website and follow the step-by-step guide: https://blog.shimmer.network/how-to-claim-smr-firefly/
The Morons Road ahead
With Firefly Shimmer released and the first wave of features available, we now look ahead to what’s to come in the next weeks: Firefly Shimmer NFT support to finally unleash the 9,999 tokenized Morons!
The first version of NFT support will cover the most prominent current use cases for NFTs: art and ownership. A “Collection” tab will be added to Firefly Shimmer with everything needed to view, send, manage and burn NFTs within your portfolio.
The NFT functionality will gradually expand as the NFT space develops, and the Shimmer ecosystem grows to accommodate the needs of projects and users. Some potential areas for expansion include NFTs holding other NFTs and tokens, or granting access to events by presenting or burning an NFT ticket.
