Shiba Inu’s layer-2 blockchain Shibarium has successfully undergone a hard fork, grabbing interest from the wider crypto community. After the successful Bor hard fork, the second upgrade the Heimdall hard fork, is aimed at the Shibarium blockchain’s transaction reliability and facilitating the network’s attainment of ‘deterministic finality’.

Traders reacted immediately to the hard fork and SHIB price hit an intraday high of $0.00002345 as it gained upside momentum after reversal.

Shiba Inu Successfully Completes Hard Fork

Shiba Inu team reported the successful completion of the hard fork at block height 4504576. Shibarium Network, the official account of Shibarium blockchain on X, also posted on May 3 to reach out to the wider crypto community about the new milestone.

The hard fork is a crucial development for Shiba Inu to optimize its blockchain infrastructure for future growth and adoption. To be more precise, the hard fork upgraded the network’s performance, optimized transaction processing, and prepared for future growth and adoption.

“Get ready for blazing-fast transactions and predictable gas fees,” said Shibarium Network. These upgrades are primarily aimed at improving network efficiency, optimizing consensus mechanisms, and introducing new functionalities to support scalability.

The hard forks will reduce the earlier occurring sync issues, gas fees, and achieve deterministic finality on the Shibarium network.

Shiba Inu team is looking at innovations and future developments in the Web3 and decentralized finance space. Recently, Shiba Inu’s decentralized exchange ShibaSwap migrated from Ethereum to Shibarium ushering in new DeFi features.

Shytoshi Kusama also noted the $12 million in funding raised from market leaders for layer-3 blockchain and Shibarium developments.
