In a new blog post today, Shytoshi Kusama, the lead developer of Shiba Inu, announced that Shibarium is now live and scaling optimally. Kusama stated, “Shibarium is LIVE and operating well! Now that we’ve proven that all funds are safu (as we said), and that Shibarium is ready for prime time, we will reopen our channels.”
As per the latest statistics, the network has already amassed over 65,000 wallets and has processed 350,000 transactions. The diversity of tokens deployed on Shibarium is evident, with Kusama noting a mix of “fun, unusual, and sometimes offensive tokens.” He optimistically added, “Within these thousands of tokens, we will see which will rise to the top.”
Kusama also took a moment to reflect on the resilience and determination of the Shiba Inu community, quoting Ryoshi, “Those who build in the bear market, will win in the bull market.” He expressed profound gratitude to the Polygon team, specifically mentioning Sandeep Naiwal, for their unwavering support during challenging times.
“Quickly after the incident began, I called Sandeep from Polygon directly and without a second thought, he helped provide additional resources to ensure a perfect outcome to the situation,” Kusama revealed. The SHIB lead dev also highlighted that it is by design that the SHIB, Leash, WEth withdrawals through the bridge take at least 2 checkpoints (45 minutes to 3 hours), and BONE withdrawal will take up to 7 days.
According to data from Shibariumscan.io, the network processed 132,739 transactions on August 25, marking its highest activity since its public restart on August 24. However, the network did experience a decline in transactions over the weekend, recording 78,870 transactions on Saturday and 40,433 on Sunday.
It’s worth noting that Shibarium’s initial launch on August 16 encountered issues that halted block production. However, the team appears to have resolved these issues, setting the stage for what could be a transformative period for the Shiba Inu ecosystem.
