Shibarium and the Obvious Growth Catalyst

The Shiba Inu-backed layer-2 scaling solution launched in August 2023. For a protocol with a largely rocky start, the new milestone has sparked series of debates on X. Shibarium got a major boost less than a month ago when Shiboshi-linked NFT update triggered enhanced ecosystem adoption.

With the NFT bridge feature on the mainnet, transaction count jumped to millions per day from a few thousands. At the time of writing, the daily transaction count comes in at 4.69 million. Despite this figure, the protocol records at least 2,227 transctions in hours. The new milestone has triggered a comment from Kaal Dhairya, one of the ecosystem’s lead developers.

With the token’s price largely linked to the broader market trend, it’s recovery might come faster than projected.

Meanwhile, lead developer Shytoshi Kusama has set his sight on his SH.I.B proposal to create the Silicon Valley destination for crypto. He recently pitched this idea to Elon Musk in a bid to get the Donald Trump administration to consider the prospects.
