Shiba Inu’s layer-2 solution, Shibarium, has marked a significant achievement, surpassing 300 million transactions. This success stems from its core mission to address Ethereum’s high transaction fees and provide scalability for the Shiba Inu ecosystem.
Shibarium’s fee reduction goal
Shibarium was developed primarily to alleviate transaction fees within the Shiba Inu community, as Ethereum had been grappling with steep gas fees. By functioning as a layer-2 solution atop Ethereum, Shibarium offers more cost-effective transactions for Shiba Inu participants.
Shibarium officially launched on Ethereum’s mainnet in August 2023 after rigorous development and community testing by the Shiba Inu team. In a mere five months, Shibarium has impressively surpassed 300 million total transactions, with 304,302,131 transactions recorded to date, according to Shibariumscan Explorer. Additionally, wallet addresses have surged to 1,343,792, and the total number of blocks stands at 2,789,983. These metrics highlight Shibarium’s increasing acceptance and utilization within the Shiba Inu community.
Shibarium’s catalyst for innovation and collaboration
Beyond fee reduction, Shibarium serves as a hub for innovation and collaboration within the Shiba Inu ecosystem. It provides a robust foundation for the development of decentralized applications (dApps) such as Shib: The Metaverse, Shiba Eternity, and various other projects, products, platforms, and services throughout the broader Shiba Inu community.
Lucie, a member of the SHIB team, has expressed optimism about Shibarium’s future. She suggests that Shibarium, despite its nascent stage, holds the potential to surprise the community with forthcoming innovative initiatives.
Persistent SHIB token burning and notable NFT collections
Simultaneously, the Shiba Inu community continues its efforts to reduce the supply of SHIB tokens. The Shibdream NFT collection recently accomplished the milestone of burning 100 million SHIB tokens. In the past 24 hours alone, 111,672,568 SHIB tokens were burned in five transactions, as confirmed by Shibburn.
In summary, Shibarium, the layer-2 solution by Shiba Inu, has achieved a remarkable feat, exceeding 300 million transactions. It fulfills its crucial role in providing scalability and lowering transaction costs within the Shiba Inu ecosystem. With ongoing innovation and persistent SHIB token burning, the future holds promise for the Shiba Inu community and its dedicated supporters.
