Shibarium transaction record shatters 1.3 billion milestone amid surging activity

The Shibarium transaction record has skyrocketed past a historic benchmark, breaking through 1.3 billion total transactions, according to on-chain data from Shibarium-scan. This surge marks a new era of high engagement for the Shiba Inu ecosystem’s Layer-2 protocol, an achievement that signals major adoption momentum for the SHIB army.

In the latest update, Shibarium transaction record data revealed 1,300,837,487 transactions, fueled by a dramatic spike in daily blockchain activity. This remarkable feat underscores growing enthusiasm among decentralized app developers and SHIB holders, leveraging the network’s high-speed, low-cost capabilities.

Massive June spike ignites transaction frenzy

The momentum behind this Shibarium transaction record didn’t happen overnight. In early June, U.Today reported a jaw-dropping 1,013% surge in daily transactions, propelling daily activity from 63,000 to over 700,000 in less than 48 hours.

That bullish trend hasn’t cooled. As of June 26, daily transactions soared even higher, hitting 4.2 million in a single day, showing the sustained demand across dApps, DeFi tools, and token swaps.

“Shibarium’s growth shows how a meme coin ecosystem can evolve into a serious Layer-2 platform,” said blockchain analyst Erik Smith, founder of DeFi Research Labs. “This kind of transaction activity is usually seen in mature networks, not in emerging Layer-2 chains.”

Shibarium transaction record withstands network challenges

Despite the bullish numbers, Shibarium hasn’t been without hiccups. Earlier this month, the network experienced a slowdown, with block times increasing to 8.1 seconds, up from the average 5.0 seconds. That led to temporary concerns about congestion on the network.

However, developers swiftly restored normalcy. Block production times are now back to their standard 5.0 seconds, reaffirming the resilience of the infrastructure behind the Shibarium transaction record.

Shytoshi Kusama, the lead developer of Shiba Inu, commented via Discord:

“Our focus remains on ensuring Shibarium’s efficiency and scalability. This transaction milestone is proof that the ecosystem is ready for real-world use cases.”

Parallel to the transaction explosion, Shibarium rolled out a major upgrade to its SHIB burn toolkit—a deflationary mechanism critical for long-term tokenomics. The upgrade streamlines live burns, allowing users to swap tokens, stake, and trigger burns seamlessly while earning passive yields.

According to the official announcement, the enhanced toolkit was designed to “empower users and boost token utility”—a move that has been well-received by the SHIB community.

“We’re making it easier to contribute to SHIB deflation. It’s a win-win: value retention and community incentives,” said Marcie Jastrow, advisor at the Shiba Inu Metaverse project.

Heimdall and Bor node boosts ensure stability

To complement this surge in transactions, Shibarium has fortified its node infrastructure by enhancing Heimdall and Bor static nodes. These nodes play a critical role in validator security, synchronization, and network reliability, especially under high-volume conditions.

This boost ensures that the Shibarium transaction record can continue to grow without risking stability or downtime, key components as the platform inches closer to mainstream enterprise-level use cases.

This growth could also help SHIB gain legitimacy in institutional circles, where transaction volume, scalability, and real-world utility remain core metrics.
