The Shiba Inu blockchain's layer-2 network, known as Shibarium, is gearing up for a public relaunch after encountering a temporary shutdown following its mainnet debut.
This development was disclosed by Shiba Inu's lead developer, Shytoshi Kusama, in a recent blog post.
After efforts spanning two days to fine-tune and optimise Shibarium, Kusama has declared that the network has reached an improved and ready state.
Kusama confirmed that the network is currently in the process of "producing blocks," albeit while still undergoing testing.
Coinlive previously reported on how the Shibarium launch was beset by technical difficulties and a dip in SHIB prices.
To tackle the significant surge in traffic that initially led to operational challenges, the Shibarium team has implemented additional safety measures.
Kusama revealed:
"We have introduced a new monitoring system and additional fail safes including rate limiting at the RPC level and auto server reset in case we encounter a massive traffic surge again."
Looking ahead, the lead developer of Shiba Inu revealed upcoming plans, including the introduction of additional validators and the imminent conclusion of ongoing tests.
Kusama shared:
"Tomorrow, more validators will become operational, providing you with additional staking options for your BONE tokens and a share of the rewards associated with these roles within our digital community."
He also hinted at the development of the "ShibPaper," a framework aimed at demonstrating a functional system for governance and management that solidifies the concept of their enduring decentralised digital nation-state, poised to bring about transformative change on a global scale.
