Shibarium, the layer-2 blockchain for Shiba Inu, has issued a connection notice to its community following reports of wallet and explorer issues. The Shibarium SHIB.io account on X, dedicated to providing updates and insights on the ecosystem, advised users to check wallet configurations before assuming network problems. Most reported connectivity problems, the account said, stem from outdated or incorrect RPC settings rather than the Shibarium network itself. Users were urged to follow simple steps to restore connections and ensure proper network access. Wallet Connection Troubles Addressed Shibarium SHIB.io explained that wallet connection issues are the primary cause of most user complaints. It recommended clearing the wallet cache, removing the Shibarium network, and re-adding it using the correct RPC. “Before assuming anything is wrong, please try the following: Clear your wallet cache, remove the Shibarium network, and add it again using the correct RPC. In most cases, this resolves the issue immediately,” the account wrote. By highlighting this guidance, Shibarium aims to reduce confusion among Shibizens and ensure smooth interactions with the layer-2 blockchain. The advisory also emphasized that network operations remain stable and unaffected. Wallet balances are accessible via RPC, confirming that no assets were lost. Shibarium users experiencing connectivity issues can continue transactions after verifying wallet settings. The guidance underscores Shibarium’s proactive approach to supporting its growing community. Explorer Indexing and Display Updates In a separate announcement , Shibarium SHIB.io noted issues with the Shibarium explorer, where some tokens and NFTs did not display correctly on Shibarium Scan or within wallet NFT tabs. The account attributed the problem to explorer indexing delays and a temporary bridge update. It confirmed that the issue affected display and indexing, not the on-chain state. Users’ assets remained fully secure, and core network operations continued without interruption. The explorer had previously migrated to a new server in February. Shibarium SHIB.io added that the layer-2 blockchain’s privacy upgrade is scheduled for Q2 2026. This upgrade will mark a significant milestone, enhancing security and technical capabilities for the Shibarium ecosystem. The community is encouraged to monitor official updates for ongoing improvements and network enhancements.
