Shiba Inu’s layer2 network Shibarium mainnet bridge is now functioning optimally, according to an Aug. 28 update from its lead developer, Shytoshi Kusama.
However, cryptocurrency withdrawals on the network are subject to extended processing times. Per the recent update, digital assets like SHIB, Leash, and Wrapped Ether (WETH) may take up to 3 hours to process, while the network’s native Bone token may require a maximum of seven days.
Kusama attributed this extended withdrawal period to the bridge’s specific design. He further assured the SHIB community that their funds were “safu and that Shibarium is ready for prime time.”
The update comes in response to the developers’ move to temporarily halt access to the Shibarium bridge due to complications during its launch on Aug. 16. Many users experienced issues with stuck transactions and frozen funds, which created significant uncertainty within the community.
