Shiba Inu (SHIB) has updated the wallet connection information in the Chainlist for the Shibarium network to the latest state. However, token prices have fallen by about 6% over the past week and are continuing to trend bearish.
Key point
A community-driven pull request has restored the Shibarium RPC endpoint that works with the Chainlist wallet list.
The changes only affect the wallet connection settings and do not impact the protocol or SHIB tokenomics.
SHIB is trading at around $0.0000052, while Shibarium’s on-chain activity remains far below pre-hack levels.
Shibarium RPC connection restored
The Shiba Inu team announced the changes through the project’s official X account, calling them “a small but practical update.” The ethereum-lists/chains registry currently reflects active public RPC endpoints for Shibarium, and the chainlist has synchronized as well. Given that many wallets and Web3 applications pull network information from this registry, it’s a meaningful adjustment.
An experienced long-time community member, Mazrael started the work by submitting GitHub pull request #8699, and project maintainers merged it. The existing entries point to endpoints that no longer function after the development team shut down the old public RPC by the end of 2025, causing users trying to add Shibarium via the chainlist to experience connection failures one after another.
Infrastructure improvements are also underway in other areas. Shibariumscan, the block explorer, is rebuilding its database, and about 52% of the current blocks have already been indexed. During this process, the project emphasized that transactions on the chain themselves will not be deleted. Mazrael also said that shib.io and ShibaSwap moved to **Cloudflare** on September 12, adding IPv6 support, and that the documentation site doc.shib.io has migrated in the same direction.

Shibarium revamp status as reported by Mazrael
This RPC update is, quite literally, a measure on the level of “plumbing work”—it doesn’t touch the Shibarium protocol itself or SHIB’s supply structure. However, since major wallets like MetaMask, Ledger, and Phantom all rely on the same registry information, users can expect a noticeable reduction in cases of added network issues and connection failures. On X (formerly Twitter), reactions were mixed: some praised the improved accessibility, while others said it wasn’t a change significant enough to shift the broader trend.
Mazrael explained that the Shibarium revamp has progressed much further than it might appear. Meanwhile, Shytoshi Kusama, the project’s lead ambassador, deleted his lengthy self-introduction from his X profile, leaving only the single word “polish,” hinting at a quiet entry into a ‘final stage.’ No specific new products or services have been officially announced yet.
SHIB hack fallout still lingers
After falling over the course of a week, SHIB is trading around $0.0000052, with its market cap staying at roughly $3 billion. Shibarium’s on-chain activity remains minimal. Daily transaction counts are in the thousands and sometimes only in the hundreds—far from the heyday when it recorded millions of transactions prior to last year’s exploit (attack).
The attack occurred on September 12, 2025. The attacker took out a loan of 4.6 million BONE (BONE) via a flash loan, then seized 10 of the 12 Shibarium validator signing keys. After that, the attacker drained approximately $4.1 million worth of ether (ETH), SHIB, and 15 other tokens, and the network could not avoid an emergency shutdown. The development team has since drawn up plans to restart the bridge and began work to discuss compensation for affected users.
