Shibarium has set aside 21 million BONE to reward validators and delegators contributing to the ecosystem’s security. A notable structure is that all delegated BONE are distributed to the 12 Shibarium validators.
According to trackers, Shibs of the Round Table and Burn Baby Burn are the top validators. In total, 25.9 million BONE have been staked, with blocks being confirmed on the Ethereum mainnet roughly every 23 minutes.
Even though more users are locking their BONE either as delegators or validators, there has been a slowdown since the sidechain deployed. The number of new accounts created has contracted from around 150 on September 10 to below 20 as of October 8.
