The post Developers Launch Major Anti-Hack Upgrade for Shibarium appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Altcoins The team behind Shiba Inu’s Layer-2 network, Shibarium, is turning a page after last year’s turbulence. Developers have introduced a sweeping network upgrade that aims to decentralize its core infrastructure and reinforce the blockchain’s defenses against future exploits. From Crisis to Reinvention Months after a validator key was compromised in September — an incident that temporarily froze Shibarium operations — the project’s engineers have overhauled the way users and apps connect to the chain. Instead of relying on a single, centralized communication channel, Shibarium will now distribute network traffic across multiple independent nodes. To achieve this, the project’s legacy public RPC endpoint will be taken offline for two weeks, forcing wallets and dApps to route through alternative providers.According to John Doe, the project’s engineering manager, the change is less about restriction and more about resilience. “When one door handles all the traffic, the system is fragile,” he said. “We want many doors — each independently operated — so that Shibarium never depends on a single point of failure.” A New Security Culture The network overhaul is part of a broader cultural shift inside the Shiba Inu ecosystem. After the validator compromise that saw an attacker attempt to seize control through a 4.6 million BONE delegation, the development team prioritized decentralization, transparency, and user verification. They’ve since implemented measures such as validator blacklisting and a seven-day withdrawal delay on the Plasma Bridge, which links Shibarium to other blockchains. These policies, though temporarily inconvenient, were designed to slow down attackers and give developers more time to respond to abnormal activity. The network has since returned to full operation, and Shiba Inu’s team says these lessons directly informed the latest update. Network Metrics Show Momentum Despite the security setback, Shibarium’s usage has been surging.The blockchain now boasts over 30,000 deployed smart contracts,… The post Developers Launch Major Anti-Hack Upgrade for Shibarium appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
