Shiba Inu’s cutting-edge Layer-2 scaling solution, known as Shibarium, is causing a significant stir in the cryptocurrency sphere. Recently, it witnessed over 634,000 active addresses, showcasing a notable surge in transaction activity. By August 31, daily transactions had peaked at 93,315, accumulating 698,642 transactions.

In the past 24 hours, an impressive 52 million SHIB tokens were destroyed, effectively reducing the circulating supply. Currently, SHIB is trading at $0.00000796, marking a modest 3.2 percent decrease, with a 24-hour trading volume of $133,299,787. This heightened network activity comes on the heels of successfully resolving a technical issue during the weekend.

Surging Wallet Numbers, Yet TVL Sparks Concerns

Despite a somewhat turbulent beginning, Shibarium presently boasts an impressive 600,000 active wallets, facilitating over 700,000 transactions. This underscores the remarkable resilience within the Shibarium community. After experiencing initial software glitches that led to temporary disruptions in token withdrawals from the Shibarium bridge, a collaborative effort involving Shiba Inu, Polygon, Unification, and other key players successfully led to its relaunch.

While the number of transactions neared 100,000 on August 31, with a peak of 132,000 on August 25, the total locked value (TVL) on Shibarium is currently a modest, $1.26 million. Starting today, investors can utilize tokens like SHIB, BONE, and others on Shibarium for various activities, including token trading, borrowing and lending, and staking tokens to earn rewards.

SHIB’s Subdued Presence

Furthermore, data indicates that SHIB’s inflow into exchanges reached 29.25 million, pointing toward a ‘buy the rumor, sell the news’ scenario surrounding the launch of Shibarium. In a separate development, an unidentified SHIB holder moved nearly $38 million worth of tokens, initiating with $160,000 in SHIB and subsequently transferring $37.4 million to a new Ethereum wallet.

The forthcoming impact of Shibarium on the Shiba Inu ecosystem, particularly concerning tokens like SHIB and BONE, remains a captivating subject.

Shibarium’s Impact on Monthly Burns

During August, Shiba Inu experienced a significant surge in token burn rate, with the community destroying a remarkable 5.71 billion SHIB tokens.  According to Shibburn.com, the official tracker for Shiba Inu token burns, enthusiasts managed to burn an astonishing 5,715,986,938 (5.71 billion) SHIB tokens within the past month through a total of seven hundred and sixty-three (763) individual transactions.

This accomplishment signifies a substantial 173 percent increase in the burn rate compared to the previous month’s figures. August’s most noteworthy burn event occurred on the 21st when the community orchestrated the incineration of an impressive 1,013,502,366 (1.01 billion) SHIB tokens. This was accomplished through twenty-four transactions, with significant contributions from MARSWAP (MSWAP) and two mysterious wallets.

On that same day, MARSWAP (MSWAP), the native token of MARSWAP DEX, set fire to 179,281,557 (179.28 million) SHIB through seven distinct transactions, while the two undisclosed wallets collectively sent a substantial 750,227,189 (750.22 million) SHIB tokens to the dead wallet through two separate transactions.

The public launch of Shibarium is responsible for the increase in monthly burns. The SHIB team had previously indicated that every transaction on Shibarium would result in the burning of SHIB tokens. As of now, Shibarium boasts 634,617 wallet addresses and has processed approximately 700,000 transactions, with more than 20 million BONE tokens staked on the platform.
