Many Shiba Inu (SHIB) holders had held out hope for a sharp appreciation of SHIB, Shibarium’s governance token BONE, and the LEASH token with the launch of the Shibarium network on Aug. 16.


However, those aspirations have been dashed rather quickly.


At the time of publication, the price of SHIB is down 8.1% in the last 24 hours, while BONE has fallen more than 14% in the same timeframe. The ecosystems’ LEASH token — a low-supply staking rewards coin — fared the worst, dropping 23.5% on the day.Shiba Inu (SHIB) price following the launch of the Shibarium network. Source: CoinGecko


The price dip comes amid reports of a potential hiccup in the launch.


According to screenshots that reportedly capture an internal Telegram conversation between Shibarium developers, lead developer Shytoshi revealed that the team was unable to recover assets bridged to the Shibarium network.In case yall were wondering how Shibarium is going pic.twitter.com/S5vjTxoMDk— ʎppɐꓷ ɯooɹɥS (@shroom_daddy) August 16, 2023


Blockchain sleuth ZachXBT said that he had not yet confirmed whether or not the assets were truly lost, but noted that the RPC — a node that runs key blockchain client software — was “dead” and described the block explorer as “awful.”


Cointelegraph confirmed, using the Shibarium Scan block explorer, that at time of writingthe last block was added seven hours ago.

The Shibarium RPC website is down at the time of writing.


Members of the community believe this could indicate a flawed bridge, with the total sum of locked funds amounting to nearly $2.46 million — comprised of $1.7 million worth of Ether (ETH) and an additional $762,000 worth of Shibarium’s governance token BONE.
