• Shiba Inu’s layer-2 solution sees addresses triple and over 500k transactions after launch.
• Nodes jump on Shiba Inu’s layer-2 to handle surging transaction volumes after successful launch.
• Shiba Inu’s new scaling solution demonstrates exponential growth in addresses and activity following launch.

Shiba Inu’s layer-2 scaling solution, Shibarium, has seen exponential growth over the past day according to recent data.

The total number of addresses on the Shibarium network has tripled to 337,000 in just 24 hours. Alongside the flood of new addresses, transaction activity is also skyrocketing.

Over 540,000 transactions have already been conducted on the fledgling network. Shibarium’s validators have processed approximately 374,000 blocks at a rate of 5 seconds per block.

This enormous surge in usage stems from heightened interest surrounding Shibarium’s long-awaited launch. By providing faster and cheaper transactions, Shibarium aims to unlock new utility for the Shiba Inu ecosystem.

Validators flocking in following Shibarium launch

More validators are coming onboard to help handle the influx of activity. Blockchain startup Unification recently activated its own Shibarium validator node. Users can now delegate BONE tokens to Unification’s node for staking rewards.

As the number of validated nodes rises, the network will be able to accommodate higher transaction volumes while maintaining speed and reliability. Shibarium’s remarkable growth demonstrates a successful launch that continues to drive adoption and engagement.

With Shibarium’s usage spiking, developers hope to sustain this momentum to cement the layer-2 protocol as a core component of Shiba Inu’s technology stack. If the platform can continue attracting validators while maintaining stability under heavy loads, it will solidify Shibarium’s position as a vital infrastructure upgrade for the SHIB community.
