Shibarium Nears 10.5M Block Milestone Amid Surge in Adoption and Transactions

Shibarium, the Ethereum-based Layer-2 scaling solution within the Shiba Inu ecosystem, has surpassed 10 million blocks and is quickly approaching the 10.5 million mark. With a current count of 10,306,430 blocks, and adding one block every five seconds, Shibarium is on track to reach the milestone before April ends.

This rapid block production reflects the network’s growing adoption and operational efficiency. The protocol has already processed over 1.017 billion transactions, with daily volumes now averaging 4.17 million—nearly double the 2–3 million daily average seen in March. This surge underscores increasing user confidence and a clear shift in preference toward Shibarium over other Ethereum Layer-2 solutions.

The Shiba Inu community sees this expansion as a turning point. SHIB marketing lead Lucie remarked that Shibarium has moved from its "green phase to gold," highlighting the ecosystem’s transition to delivering real-world value. This growth is supported by recent launches within the ecosystem, including tokens like TREAT and BONE, with more developments expected.

Shibarium’s continued momentum is positively impacting SHIB’s market sentiment. After the protocol hit 1 billion transactions, SHIB experienced a 6% price increase, signaling investor optimism. Analysts see Shibarium's performance as not only technically impressive but strategically vital for Shiba Inu's broader roadmap.

With sustained scalability, fast block times, and expanding utility, Shibarium is positioning itself as a key player in the Ethereum Layer-2 space. As it nears another significant milestone, the protocol’s rising transaction volumes and community support point to a strong and growing future for both Shibarium and the Shiba Inu ecosystem.
