Layer 2 blockchain network, Shibarium has recorded impressive growth shortly after its relaunch on August 28. The project was relaunched by its lead developer Shytoshi Kusama with support from other teams including Polygon, Unification Fund, and the decentralized Shibarium team.
In a blog post on August 28, Shytoshi expressed gratitude for the support he received from the aforementioned team after Shibarium experienced technical glitches following its initial launch on August 16.
During the first launch, the project experienced an increased and overwhelming user demand consequently forcing it to run into private mode. However, the L2 blockchain solution is now available in public mode and has recorded impressive growth so far.
