  • Shibarium mainnetโ€™s daily transactions hovers around the 200,000 mark.
  • Over 27M of Shibarium gas fee token, $BONE, is staked on the mainnet.
  • $SHIB gained 2% and added 82M to the market cap in the last 24 hours.

Shiba Inuโ€™s Layer-2 blockchain Shibarium continues to knock down milestones nearly a month since its relaunch. Currently, Shibarium L2 mainnet encompasses 2,710,831 transactions, nearing the 3 million mark at close to 200,000 transactions a day.

Shibarium can keep a 5-second average block production time even in the highly increasing demand of the blockchain. Shibarium currently has 1,246,127 active crypto wallets and 12 validators.

The upward trajectory of trading activity on the Shibarium mainnet is evident in the 27 million Bone ShibaSwap (BONE) staked on the blockchain. The official blockchain explorer for Shibarium reports Unification as the top validator, currently holding $5.35 million worth of $BONE tokens.

Slowly Burning SHIB Enrages Community

Despite the technicalities hinting at a smooth transition from the fail-safe private blockchain mode to a smooth & successful public relaunch, many crypto investors are questioning whether Shiba Inuโ€™s burning efforts will stay the same or the SHIB Army will witness an auto-burning mechanism that would maintain the canine coinโ€™s long-term price.

On September 1st, 2023, the official Shiba Inu burning tracker Shibburn had to face the music on Twitter, as frustrated Shiba Inu fans called the 5.7 billion burns amassed throughout August to be nothing more than a drop in the ocean. Even though Augustโ€™s SHIB burn performance is 172.58% better than Julyโ€™s, dissatisfied crypto enthusiasts expected to see trillions of tokens burned once Shibarium went live.

Ultimately, the issue was addressed by several developers and team members. For example, SHIB Tokenโ€™s marketing specialist Lucie SHIB pointed out that onboarding users onto a new blockchain project is never easy and takes time and community effort. Besides, Shibariumโ€™s documentation explains how the gradual gas fee hike will accelerate SHIB burns.

On the Flipside

  • Despite the uptrend in trading activity and multiple favorable on-chain metrics after the relaunch, Shibariumโ€™s total value locked (TVL) shrank nearly three times since the end of August to $559,631.

Why This Matters

Shiba Inuโ€™s own Layer-2 blockchain is set to facilitate the cryptocurrency-burning procedure to maintain a self-sufficient decentralized ecosystem.
