For context, SRC-20 represents the standard for creating inscriptions Shibarium. Crafting an inscription involves incorporating diverse content types into the dedicated transaction, including images, text, or HTML. 

Shiba Inu’s network has seen a growing prominence of SRC-20 inscriptions on Shibarium. Data from WoofSwap shows that at least 50 SRC-20 tokens now exist on Shibarium, welding staggering market valuations.

For instance, “shibs,” an inscription on Shibarium, currently trades at 0.0000000103 per bone token or $0.00000000724708. This inscription has a market cap of $4,254,679 at the time of reporting, with 22,921 holders.

With SRC-20 now supporting burning, holders of these tokens can incinerate portions of their large supply to support their market value. Also, the development indicates that the token can now fully take a deflationary role.
