Shibarium Resumes Block Production
The Shiba Inu Layer-2 Shibarium network has resumed block production after halting due to unexpected traffic surges. Developer Kaal Dhairya provided an update on the situation and assured users by insuring $2 million for any potential post-restart issues.
Unexpected Traffic Surges
Shibarium was forced into its fail-safe mode when it experienced a surge in contract creations and regular transactions in just one block. This prompted the team to prioritize the security of users’ funds before anything else.
Official Update by Kaal Dhairya
Kaal Dhairya kept the community informed with an official update on August 18th. He also addressed a particularly harmful piece of FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) circulating online which caused unwarranted distress among supporters of Shiba Inu.
Market Reactions: A Resilient Rebound
Despite initial jitters which saw several traders liquidate their tokens, prices have strongly rebounded after Shibarium’s restoration. SHIB dipped 11%, while BONE saw a 15% dip but is currently trading at $1.18 and LEASH is making its way up again as well.
Trust Restored
By quickly responding to this issue and taking proactive steps towards ensuring user safety, the Shiba Inu team has restored trust in their platform and offerings once again. With prices strongly rebounding already, it looks like things are back on track for Shibarium!
