4.77 Million in Daily Transactions: Shibarium Finally Breaks Out

by

As a seasoned crypto investor with a knack for recognizing potential and a penchant for deciphering market trends, I must admit, the recent surge in Shibarium’s daily transactions has piqued my interest. Having been around since the early days of Bitcoin and witnessing the rise and fall of countless projects, I can’t help but feel a sense of cautious optimism about this development.

Upon the debut of Shibarium, I found myself brimming with enthusiasm alongside members of the Shiba Inu ecosystem and the wider Ethereum layer-2 community. Yet, since its inception, the network’s growth trajectory has been quite diverse as it navigates various adoption milestones. At present, I’ve noticed that scam data indicates the protocol has averaged 4.77 million daily transactions.

Shibarium adoption soars gradually

It’s important to mention that the number of daily transactions on Shibarium can change dramatically. Just last month, it hit a low of around 3,000, but now it’s skyrocketing to over 4.77 million – a significant shift in its usage. Even though today’s figures far surpass the more than 300,000 transactions we saw earlier this week, the primary cause for this sudden increase remains unclear.

Shibarium serves as a platform for decentralized applications (dApps) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Notably, the community here is bustling with developers consistently launching new dApps. The continuous efforts of these creative minds could be contributing significantly to the surge in daily transactions.

On October 19th, Shibarium logged a daily transaction count of 324,590. However, this figure dipped to 128,050 two days later. Following this dip, the number began to increase steadily and reached an unprecedented 1.77 million on October 22 for the first time in approximately a year. Since then, this metric has been continuously rising, reaching a new 52-week high of 4.77 million transactions today.

Is this uptick here to stay?

The increased number of transactions on Shibarium has placed it among the busiest layer-2 networks within the Ethereum network. As per data from L2Beat, Base currently leads with a 30-day transaction count of approximately 164 million. If Shibarium continues to maintain this high daily transaction rate, it could potentially overtake Base in the future.

However, the underlying concern remains whether or not this major uptick is here to stay. Innovators within the SHIB ecosystem are hard at work; Shytoshi Kusama and the core developers are working on SHI stablecoin, among other innovations.

It’s anticipated that these actions will increase momentum and continue to support the growth of this adoption rate over the long haul.
