Shiba Inu’s layer-2 Shibarium network has successfully resumed block production after a temporary suspension of transactions that lasted nearly a full day.
The block explorer Shibariumscan.io confirms that the layer-2 blockchain, Shibarium, is back online and actively generating blocks.
The pause in operations was triggered by an unexpected surge in traffic shortly after the mainnet launch, which prompted the network to activate a fail-safe mode to protect user funds.
Lead developer Shytoshi Kusama has reassured the community that despite the challenges posed by the heightened blockchain traffic, the security of funds remains uncompromised.
Both the bridge and the chain are reported to be functioning seamlessly, and Kusama is optimistic about a smooth restart for Shibarium.
A recent blog post by Shiba Inu developer Kaal Dhairya, dated August 18th, has outlined the project’s strategy to address the surge in traffic.
Plans include scaling operations to accommodate the increased activity on Shibarium. Regular updates on the network’s status will be provided to users.
It’s worth noting that Shibarium is built on the foundation of Polygon, a blockchain network.
The Shiba Inu project has taken proactive steps to ensure a safe restart.

Nevertheless, community members remain optimistic and supportive of the network’s efforts to address the temporary transaction pause.
