As of this writing, more than 140,000 additional transactions have been added. Projecting this trajectory, the platform is on track to reach the 300 million transaction mark soon.

New entrants decline on Shibarium 

Towards the conclusion of last year, the count of new accounts on Shibarium experienced a rise, peaking at over 1,100 by 27th December. Subsequently, the numbers declined and have recently exhibited a downward trend.
