Shibarium, the layer-2 blockchain solution for Shiba Inu, has seen a massive 300% increase in average transaction fees over the past 24 hours. According to the latest data, the average amount spent per transaction in BONE, the native token of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, increased from 0.00452 BONE to 0.012 BONE, as reported by Shibariumscan.
Shibarium is designed to facilitate the transfer of Shiba Inu tokens, with BONE tokens covering transaction fees. A portion of each transaction fee in BONE is converted to SHIB and sent to a dead wallet, reducing the overall supply of tokens through burning.

The increase in transaction fees in the face of declining network activity raises questions about underlying causes. Possible factors include an increase in larger transactions or greater transaction complexity, which could drive up fees.
Gamza KhanzadaevNow the question arises about the future of the Shibarium network and its ability to meet growing demand while maintaining efficiency and scalability, as there are concerns about the impact on SHIB and BONE amid general market uncertainties.
Addressing these issues will be critical to the sustainable growth of the Shibarium network.
