Shiba Inu’s layer-2 network Shibarium has received a small but useful infrastructure update that restores accurate RPC connection details for wallets and Web3 applications via Chainlist. The correction was initiated by community member Mazrael through GitHub Pull Request #8699 and merged into the ethereum-lists/chains registry, replacing an inactive endpoint that remained unchanged after Shibarium’s migration to decentralized public infrastructure in late 2025.
The outdated listing had caused connection failures for users adding Shibarium to cryptocurrency wallets and Web3 platforms. With the updated public RPC endpoint now reflected in Chainlist, users gain reliable network settings without any change to Shibarium’s transaction processing or underlying features. The Shiba Inu team confirmed that developers closed the network’s former public RPC endpoints in late 2025 as part of a broader move toward more stable and decentralized infrastructure.
Alongside the RPC fix, Shibariumscan is reindexing the layer-2 network’s block data, with 52% of blocks indexed at the time of reporting. This process rebuilds the explorer database directly from on-chain transaction and block information; displayed records may be temporarily incomplete, but transactions are not removed from the blockchain.
Separately, Mazrael reported that the Shiba Inu ecosystem migrated key web services to Cloudflare on September 12, 2026, including the official shib.io website, the ShibaSwap decentralized exchange interface, and the documentation portal at doc.shib.io. The migration also introduced IPv6 support, potentially improving routing, availability, and compatibility for users accessing Shiba Inu’s online resources.
Community reaction was mixed. Some users welcomed the more convenient access to Shibarium, while others dismissed the update as insignificant. The skepticism reflects weaker network activity: daily transactions have fallen to the low thousands or even hundreds following last year’s exploit, compared with millions before the attack.
Despite the infrastructure progress, market sentiment around SHIB remains under pressure. SHIB traded at approximately $0.000005196, down about 6% over the previous week, with a market capitalization just above $3 billion and a rank of 33rd among cryptocurrencies. Meanwhile, SHIB’s burn rate has declined nearly 90% over the past month, reducing the scarcity mechanism’s near-term influence.
