Shibarium‘s daily transactions dropped to 659 in the last 24 hours, the lowest since September 20, 2026, according to Shibariumscan data. The Shiba Inu layer 2 saw 2,280 transactions on October 15, 2026, which dropped to 659 on October 17, 2026.
The dip shows there is less activity on the network as a whole. The number of transactions fell sharply from 5,710 on October 6 after a steady rise in September. While the number of transactions is a metric for measuring network usage, it does not capture all aspects of ecosystem participation.
Shibarium continues to receive quiet upgrades behind the scenes. According to long-time SHIB community member Mazrael, CreateX is now live on Shibarium. CreateX is the standard factory devs use to deploy contracts at the same address on every chain, making multi-chain deploys on Shibarium much easier.
In a separate development, all 12 Safe v1.4.1 contracts are deployed at their canonical addresses via the Safe Singleton Factory.
