Shiba Inu Executive Highlights Shibarium’s True Impact on the Community

• Shibarium is helping real builders thrive while exposing manipulative projects within the SHIB ecosystem.
• A major update will require users to run their own nodes to strengthen decentralization.

Lucie, a key figure in the Shiba Inu ecosystem, shared a detailed breakdown on social media about the broader impact of Shibarium beyond technical scaling. According to her statement, the Layer 2 solution has not only expanded the SHIB network’s capabilities but also clarified the direction for its builders and investors.

Shibarium, Lucie noted, has pushed real developers to launch projects with purpose, from Web3 games to essential tools, without the need for marketing noise. On the other hand, some opportunists used the platform to extract liquidity and stir fear before moving on. The problem wasn’t the network, she explained, but the intentions of those exploiting it.

From Sympathy Buys to Sustainable Support

Lucie emphasized a shift in investor mindset. Supporting founders based solely on personality or sympathy has led to poor outcomes. She warned that kindness is not a measure of competence. Backing projects must now be based on vision, execution, and consistent delivery.

She noted,

“Shibarium also taught us a painful truth: investing out of sympathy isn’t support, it’s emotional risk. A kind founder doesn’t always mean a capable one. We’ve learned to support people personally — but invest based on vision, delivery, and results.”

Lucie also mentioned the trend of manufactured hype. Many projects sought to emulate engagement with botfilled replies and orchestrated emoji storms.  She added that some projects staged temporary growth and exited with profits, pinning the network on their way out. According to Lucie, it’s not Shibarium’s fault that those failed, the strategy behind them was flawed from the beginning.

Shibarium’s Technical Update Targets Decentralization and Stability

In a separate development, Shibarium is working to launch a significant infrastructure upgrade to impose a rate limit for its public RPC endpoint. The move is intended to make the network more decentralized by motivating users and developers to run their own nodes. The team claims that this shift offers four strategic advantages.

First, independent nodes are more resilient. Public endpoint downtime should no longer impact Users. Second, node operators will have unrestricted access to network resources, which means that they can be able to fulfill higher volumes of requests. The aim of these steps is to limit dependency on centralized systems and encourage a decentralized, self-sustained network structure.

According to CNF’s recent report, the upgrade will also help address spam, solver abuse, and overuse, which can destabilize public infrastructure. However, the change is necessary as Shibarium stresses long term stability and aims to prepare the ecosystem to be adopted on a wider scale.

SHIB Burn Rate Surges as Supply Pressure Intensifies

On-chain data from Shibburn shows that the Shiba Inu community has significantly boosted its token burn efforts. Over 37.9 million SHIBs were removed from circulation in the past 24 hours, with the two largest transactions locking up over 23.5 million and 14.3 million SHIBs, respectively.

The total amount of SHIB burned has now surpassed 410.7 trillion, with around 584.4 trillion still in circulation. These continuous burn activities aim to reduce overall supply and strengthen SHIB’s long-term value proposition.

Despite the burn progress, SHIB’s price dropped sharply this week. The token plunged 7.38% from $0.00001586 to $0.00001444 in less than 24 hours. Although it briefly rebounded by 1.82%, the recovery was short-lived. At the time of writing, SHIB remains at $0.00001444.
