Shiba Inu’s dedicated blockchain, Shibarium, has recently achieved two major operational milestones, reflecting its expanding user base and increasing transactional activity. These developments underscore the platform's strengthening presence within the decentralized finance ecosystem.
As the official Layer-2 blockchain of the Shiba Inu network, Shibarium continues to demonstrate substantial growth in both adoption and usage. Recent on-chain data confirms a notable surge in network participation, signaling growing confidence among users and developers.
Key Metrics Highlighting Shibarium’s Growth
According to the latest statistics from Shibariumscan, the network has now exceeded 600 million total transactions and surpassed 2 million unique wallets. These figures represent a significant step forward in the platform’s development and community engagement.
The increase in user activity is particularly evident over the past month, with more participants interacting with decentralized applications (dApps) and other protocols within the Shibarium environment.
Wallet Adoption Reaches New Highs
The number of active wallets on Shibarium has now reached 2,001,471, marking a major achievement in user adoption. This growth is attributed to increased visibility, usability, and the expanding utility of the Shiba Inu ecosystem.
Community enthusiasm was evident as official channels celebrated this milestone, emphasizing the collective effort of developers, investors, and enthusiasts.
Transaction Volume Sees Notable Increase
In addition to wallet growth, the total transaction count on Shibarium has risen to 617,132,427. A significant spike was observed on November 5, when transaction volumes reached approximately 465.2 million. Since then, the network has experienced a 32.69% increase in activity.
Daily transaction averages now hover around 4.75 million, indicating consistent usage and network reliability.
Beyond Transactions: Other Notable Achievements
Shibarium’s progress isn’t limited to wallet and transaction numbers. The platform has also achieved new highs in total value locked (TVL), user accounts, and network demand.
Total Value Locked (TVL) Reaches All-Time High
On December 5, Shibarium’s TVL peaked at $10.4 million. This metric is often used to gauge the overall health and attractiveness of a blockchain to investors and liquidity providers.
Leading the contributions was K9 Finance DAO, which accounted for $4.49 million of the total TVL. Other major protocols included:
- ShibaSwap: $3.97 million
- WoofSwap: $1.16 million
- ChewySwap: $610,279
Increased User Accounts and Gas Usage
Over the past month, the number of user accounts on Shibarium grew by 14.52%, increasing from 184,194 to 210,953. This suggests not only more users but also deeper interaction with the network’s features.
Gas usage, another indicator of network demand, rose from 13.56 trillion to 18.52 trillion between November 7 and today. This upward trend reflects higher transaction throughput and more complex operations being executed on the chain.
What These Milestones Mean for Shibarium
The consistent growth across multiple metrics highlights Shibarium’s maturation as a Layer-2 solution. More users and transactions contribute to network security, decentralization, and economic activity.
Additionally, the increased TVL and gas consumption indicate that Shibarium is not only attracting users but also retaining them through useful applications and financial opportunities.
