The Shiba Inu community has expressed renewed concern over the months-long silence of Shibarium’s official X account, @shibariumnet, which last posted on July 13, 2026. This extended period of inactivity has sparked debates over the management of crucial Shiba Inu ecosystem communication platforms and their lack of consistent updates.
Concerns over social media management
A prominent Shiba Inu community member known as Mazrael recently voiced suspicions about the control of major Shiba Inu social media accounts in a post on X. Mazrael alleged that a small group of individuals holds access to key accounts, including the official Shibarium channel, and intentionally limits communication by keeping them inactive.
The official Shibarium X account plays a key role for followers of Shiba Inu, a leading meme token, by providing updates regarding the Layer 2 network, ecosystem progress, and community initiatives. The ongoing silence has raised questions about who is steering communications and whether the community can anticipate a return to more active engagement.
“Certain people appear to control the main Shiba Inu social media platforms, including Shibarium, deliberately leaving them inactive,” Mazrael suggested on X, igniting fresh debate among community members about accountability and transparency in project communications.
Impact of Shibarium account silence
The lack of updates from Shibarium’s primary channel has fueled uncertainty around the project’s direction and left community members speculating about the reasons for the prolonged silence. As Shiba Inu’s user base grows, many have called for improved transparency and more consistent updates from official accounts to ensure the health of the ecosystem and maintain user trust.
Shibarium functions as the dedicated Layer 2 blockchain network for Shiba Inu, designed to provide scalability and lower transaction fees for SHIB users.
Mini dictionary: Shibarium is Shiba Inu’s Layer 2 blockchain, built on Ethereum to provide faster transactions and decrease congestion and fees within the SHIB ecosystem. Layer 2 networks operate on top of blockchains like Ethereum to achieve better scalability.
Shibarium network activity stalls
Shibarium daily transactions are currently at 1,020, according to blockchain explorer Shibariumscan, reflecting a marked decrease from the 6,370 transaction high recorded on October 31. Activity levels on the network remain flat, aligning with the overall lackluster sentiment in the broader crypto market. As a result, the price of SHIB has traded lower in recent sessions.
| Date | Shibarium Daily Transactions | SHIB Price |
|---|---|---|
| October 31, 2026 | 6,370 | N/A |
| Latest | 1,020 | $0.00000445 |
Developers continue to carry out behind-the-scenes upgrades as the Shiba Inu Layer 2 network remains in “rebuild” mode. Shibariumscan currently displays a notice that 65% of blocks on the network have been indexed, indicating ongoing work to improve network functionality and performance.
Until an official statement is released, speculation within the Shiba Inu community is expected to continue, with growing calls for renewed transparency and engagement from project leaders.
