Shibarium Reverses Massive Transaction Blowout Trend

As a seasoned researcher with years of experience in the cryptocurrency market, I’ve witnessed numerous phenomena that leave me both amazed and puzzled. The recent surge and subsequent drop in Shibarium transactions have undeniably piqued my interest.


Last week, I was quite taken aback by the incredible surge in transactions on Shibarium, the layer-2 scaling solution built on Ethereum. At its peak, it recorded a staggering 4.77 million transactions – a new annual high for the protocol! However, surprisingly, this massive transaction count seems to be gradually diminishing, as per the data displayed on Shibariumscan.

Why is Shibarium transaction count falling?

Based on the latest scans of Shibarium’s data, the number of transactions has significantly decreased from a peak of approximately 4.76 million on October 26 to its current level of around 699,690. This represents an 85% drop within a 24-hour period.

A significant number of transactions recorded on Shibarium originate from the local community. Lately, numerous community members have been transferring their Shiboshi NFTs to the Shibarium network for testing purposes.

Prior to this point, the connection bridge to the L2 network was primarily used for burning SHIB tokens. However, last week, there was a significant surge in transactions due to an increased number of users bridging their Shiboshis as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) to the Ethereum protocol.

It seems like the decrease in the increase of transactions could indicate that many Shiba Inu community members who own the SHIB-backed NFT have completed their bridging process. When intense activity is a primary factor driving a trend, it’s not surprising to see a reversal once such activity subsides, as appears to be the case here.

What’s next for Base rival?

There’s a lot of activity within the Shiba Inu community, with Shibarium leading the charge. During the surge of transactions, many speculated that it could potentially outperform some key competitors, such as the Ethereum-like Base Network.

As a researcher studying Shibarium’s development, I must admit that the recent reversal has certainly dampened my expectations for this particular event. Yet, I remain optimistic about the future as there are numerous exciting product launches on the horizon within Shibarium. The team behind Shytoshi Kusama continues to reassure and intrigue us with their enigmatic posts, hinting at a pipeline filled with promising projects.

Upon release, these innovative goods and solutions could potentially contribute to a comprehensive long-term growth strategy for Shibarium, focusing on sustainability.
