Shibarium Nears Two Million Addresses

In addition to the surge in adoption, Shibarium’s total transaction count is on the verge of surpassing 420 million. Currently, the platform has processed 418,168,732 transactions. However, recent trends indicate a decline in daily transactions. Shibarium’s daily transaction volume dropped from a monthly high of 28,680 on August 20 to just 1,890 at the time of writing. If this trend continues, reaching the 420 million milestone could take longer than anticipated.
Seasonal Adoption Patterns
Shibarium’s adoption patterns appear to be cyclical, with significant activity observed in the fourth quarter of last year when daily transactions reached the millions. However, maintaining this high level of activity has proven difficult. While daily transactions have decreased, other metrics like the number of contracts and gas usage are showing steady growth.

Positive developments in Shibarium tend to reflect on the price of Shiba Inu (SHIB). The rise in transactions and the increase in wallet addresses suggest growing demand for SHIB. This momentum could help drive SHIB’s price upward. Currently, SHIB is trading at $0.00001347, a 2.77% increase over the past 24 hours. Despite being down 87% from its all-time high of $0.00008845, these upcoming milestones may help SHIB recover some of its lost value.
Reaching these goals will require continued support from the community and further development on the Shibarium network.
