- The latest upgrade from Shibarium fixes RPC problems and restores node snapshots, which increases reliability for developers and mobile users.
- 79% of the SHIB owners are long-term investors, which makes a strong conviction of the solidity of the asset clear.
A new upgrade of the Shibarium infrastructure was implemented. It improves network operation and access for developers both in the “Puppynet” test network and in the Mainset. The update, which contains urgent instructions for node operators, is part of the ongoing efforts of the Shiba-Inu development team to maintain technical stability and at the same time improve the skills of the system.
Since the number of uses continues to increase, it is speculated whether these backend improvements could influence Shib’s market development in the coming weeks.
Update Alert
Both Puppynet and Shibarium nodes have been updated.If you’re running a node, please follow the official documentation and apply the necessary updates as soon as possible.
Thank you for your continued support!
— Shibarium Updates
(@Shibizens) June 6, 2025
A central aspect of the latest update aims at the RPC interface of Shibarium, in particular to fix problems that blocked transactions for users of Metamask Mobile. The problem resulted from the initial support of EIP-1559 parameters such as eth_maxPriorityFeePerGasby Shibarium . These parameters are required for the proper processing of Ethereum-compatible transactions under the newer gas fee model.
To remedy this, a correction was published in the metamask versions 7.46.0 and 7.46.1. With the upgrade that has now come into force, it is expected that mobile users who interact with Shibarium-based decentralized applications (DAPPS) will experience fewer interruptions. This change directly improves the user experience, especially for those who carry out transactions via mobile wallets.
Restored node snapshot synchronization
In addition to the RPC-Fix, the development team has also fixed a technical problem with Mainnet snapshots. These snapshots are needed by knot operators who want to join the network or restore access to the network without having to carry out complete neusynchronization. The temporary lack of this data on the Shibarium snapshot page had to consider, but they have now been restored.
The operators are now asked to check the updated documentation and to initiate immediate steps to apply the latest upgrade. The update ensures full network compatibility and helps to avoid possible transaction failures or performance bottlenecks.
The data from the network show that the activity of Shibarium is still strong. After the last count, the total transactions on the blockchain exceeded the 1.2 billion mark. The network has also processed more than 11.3 million blocks, and the number of item addresses now exceeds 263.7 million. Over 710,000 transactions were recorded in one day.
These statistics indicate a high throughput and a lively participation, but do not directly confirm market shifts for Shib. However, increasing use could ultimately lead to greater demand if the use by the providers increases.
Improved Defi toolkit and Dao-Governance
In addition to baking updates, the wider Shiba Inu ecosystem also introduced a revised defi toolkit. The upgrade includes functions such as concentrated liquidity tools, additional levels for the distribution of rewards and expanded Shibtorch burning functions. These changes aim to improve liquidity management and create incentives for participating in defi protocols that build on Shibarium.
The ecosystem has also introduced Shibdao, a decentralized governance system that enables members of the community to coordinate through future upgrades. This structure enables interest groups to steer the development of the network, especially with regard to the expansion of the toolkit and the protocol settings.
The on-chain analysis shows that 79 % of the SHIB addresses now belong to long-term owners, ie Wallets who have retained their positions for more than a year. This trend indicates a high commitment of investors, even in times of market volatility.
