According to Foresight News: Shibarium, the Layer2 solution for Shiba Inu, has responded to concerns about users' funds being locked on the cross-chain bridge. The team reassured users that their funds are safe and that the screenshots circulating about the Shibarium bridge issue are fake. They explained that the technical difficulties are not a problem with Shibarium itself, but rather a result of a large influx of transactions and users following the official launch of Shibarium. The team is currently working with Unification and other teams to scale up and then relaunch.

Earlier, Foresight News reported that Shibarium had officially launched earlier in the day. Shortly after, Beosin claimed that transactions on Shibarium were stuck in a pending state, with $1.7 million worth of ETH locked on the Shibarium cross-chain bridge. They advised users to temporarily stop using Shibarium.
