Shibarium, the Layer 2 network of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, has resolved a reorganization issue that affected the chain, according to an update attributed to developer Kaal Dhairya and shared by community member Mazrael. The remaining step centers on completing the dRPC transition into the network’s new environment.

The resolution was reported on September 19, 2026. Detailed technical information on the cause, duration or specific blocks involved has not been released publicly. The update places the fix within a broader infrastructure migration that began earlier and continues in stages.

RPC Transition and Official Endpoints

By the end of 2025, Shibarium began phasing out older public RPC endpoints in favor of a more stable and decentralized official infrastructure. The network now directs users and applications to the endpoint rpc.shibarium.shib.io. Official documentation lists Shibarium under chain ID 109, with BONE as the native currency and Shibariumscan as the block explorer.

The public Ethereum chain registry has also been updated to match this configuration. The entry for chain ID 109 now lists the official Shibarium RPC as the primary endpoint, followed by an additional provider, and points to Shibariumscan. This refresh corrected a lag that had persisted after the November 2025 RPC move.

Node Operator Peer Rotation

On September 15, 2026, node operators received notice of a full peer rotation. New Bor static node lists and Heimdall persistent peer details were distributed, fully replacing the previous configuration. The new IP set does not overlap with the former cluster, which is no longer in use.

Bor and Heimdall form core components of the network’s architecture for block production and validation coordination. Official node documentation instructs operators to verify that seeds and bootnodes match current values, check Heimdall synchronization before starting Bor, and use the designated ports for peer-to-peer communication. Recommended hardware ranges from 16 GB to 64 GB of RAM depending on node type, with guidance to route public access through sentry nodes.

Explorer Reindexing and Related Maintenance

Shibariumscan has been reindexing chain data during the infrastructure work. As of a September 20 check, approximately 53 percent of blocks had been processed. This figure measures explorer indexing progress rather than overall network status.

Separately, the official ecosystem status service lists Shibarium validator staking as under maintenance. The disruption follows an infrastructure migration that began on April 17, 2026. Users have been advised not to attempt staking transactions until service is restored, with no public completion date announced.

Ecosystem Website and Documentation Updates

On September 12, 2026, the official shib.io site and the ShibaSwap page moved to Cloudflare infrastructure, adding IPv6 support and retiring the prior hosting arrangement. Documentation hosted at doc.shib.io underwent the same transition.

These steps form part of a multi-month effort to strengthen backend connectivity, standardize network access points and improve reliability for developers, node operators and users interacting with the Shiba Inu Layer 2 environment.
