Shibarium Ready to Reopen After Testing and Optimization
The developers of Shiba Inu have announced that Shibarium, their layer-2 blockchain, is now ready to reopen to the public. Shytoshi Kusama, the lead developer, shared that Shibarium has been enhanced and optimized after two days of testing. The blockchain is currently in the “testing” stage but is already producing blocks.
Key points:
– Shibarium has implemented a new monitoring system and additional fail-safes, including rate limiting and auto server reset, to handle high levels of traffic.
– The previous launch of Shibarium was criticized for being sloppy and experiencing technical difficulties, including the failure to retrieve assets bridged to the network.
– The Shiba Inu team dismissed the bridge issue and attributed the problems to the surge of transactions from users.
– Kusama plans to restart the Shibarium network soon and will introduce additional validators on August 23rd.
– Once testing is complete, preparations for public consumption will resume.
Hot Take
Despite a rocky start, Shiba Inu’s Shibarium is now on track for a successful launch. The developers have addressed previous issues and made improvements to ensure a smoother experience for users. With the upcoming addition of more validators, users will have more options to stake their BONE tokens and earn rewards. Stay tuned for the official reopening of Shibarium to the public.
