He further emphasized Shibarium's potential to streamline processes and incentivize every stage of the fast-food franchise process.

Stefano Guglielmini, a member of the development team, highlighted the shared vision of the collaboration, emphasizing that "Web3 is not just a technology but a philosophy reshaping collaboration and creation."
