  • The Ethereum L2 has inked many milestones since its launch.

An executive of the Shiba Inu (SHIB) ecosystem has been reflecting on Shibarium’s journey since its launch. Notably, the Shiba Inu team launched Shibarium , the Layer-2 scaling solution, four years after the network debuted. Since it launched, Shibarium has demonstrated outstanding performance and contributed to the network’s growth.

Shibarium’s Resilient Journey 

LucieSHIB, the Marketing expert, praised Shibarium’s resilience amid market challenges. 

“I’ve been here long enough to see it all—the FUD, the half-truths, the mean comments, and the constant doubts. Bad actors. None of it ever stopped the growth of this ecosystem,” says Lucie in an X post.

She highlighted that Shibarium continues to forge ahead with several ecosystem developments, including the release of Decentralized Applications (dApps), new partnerships, and projects joining the ecosystem. Lucie attributes part of Shibarium’s success to its openness to connecting with the broader crypto market.

In 4 years, Shibarium was delivered, and look at what’s happening now:

•DApps are rolling out.

•New partnerships are forming.

•New projects are joining the ecosystem.

That’s real progress.

It is important to note that Shiba Inu’s layer-2 solution celebrated its first anniversary in August this year. Shibarium became fully functional on August 28 after developers fixed issues that plagued the network at launch.

While celebrating its first anniversary, the Shiba Inu team highlighted some of the network’s key achievements. For instance, Shibarium has undergone three hard forks (Delhi, Indore, and Shanghai), each bringing more functionalities.

Since its anniversary, Shibarium has seen more accomplishments, demonstrating its increasing relevance in the blockchain space. In November, the network surpassed 500 million transactions and processes around 4 million daily. 

Additionally, CNF  reported earlier this month that Shibarium achieved a new milestone: the network hosted 2,004,610 wallets. The Layer-2 scaling solution recorded 627.96 million transactions, supported by its average block time of 5 seconds.

Furthermore, the Shiba Inu team recently  announced a major Shibarium fork that aims to increase scalability, transaction speed, and overall durability. 

Regarding the partnership, Bitget, a leading crypto exchange, recently expanded functionality for Shibarium. As CNF mentioned , the integration allows Bitget Wallet users to engage with Shibarium, storing, transferring, swapping, and staking assets within the Shiba Inu ecosystem.

Shibarium’s Influence on SHIB

The rapid growth and development in the Shibarium network have fueled optimistic sentiments for SHIB, Shiba Inu’s native asset. For instance, SHIB surged by over 20% to a six-month high of $0.00002031 on September 28, following positive sentiments around Shibarium. 

Pseudonymous Shiba Inu proponent Shibtoshi said development in Shibarium has made SHIB more attractive to investors and developers. In another instance, SHIB’s price surged following growing user interest in Shibarium. At the time,  new account creation on the platform soared by 2,484%, from 816 to 21,086 accounts.

Currently, SHIB is priced at $0.000025, showing a 4.5% decrease in the past day but with a 2.6% increase over the past week.
