Shibarium, a prominent blockchain platform from Shiba Inu, witnessed a staggering 97.7% drop in transaction activity within just 24 hours. According to data provided by Shibariumscan, the number of transactions plummeted from 242,300 on April 9 to 5,630 on April 10.

For instance, the number of active accounts interacting within Shibarium has held steady at 72,000 over the past five days. Moreover, there has been a notable increase in the creation of new accounts, rising from 536 to 626.
The sudden and substantial decrease in transaction activity has left many puzzled, prompting speculation regarding its cause. Some attribute it to Shibarium's status as a relatively young blockchain platform, characterized by rapid growth and occasional turbulence.
This theory suggests that such fluctuations may be inherent to the platform's dynamic development, including the diverse range of projects launched on it.
This is not the first time the Shiba Inu network has encountered anomalies, as evidenced by previous instances of fluctuating transaction volumes. Despite these challenges, Shibarium continues to show resilience, with its total value locked experiencing a notable uptrend in recent times.
Yuri MolchanWhile concerns may arise from the sharp decline in transaction activity, it is important to note the positive trajectory Shibarium is on. With steady progress and growing investor interest, Shibarium remains poised to solidify its position among the top layer-2 solutions in the blockchain ecosystem.
