2023-08-17 11:44:18 Cryptocurrency developers Shiba Inu launched the Shibarium network

Developers of the Shiba Inu (SHIB) cryptocurrency have launched the Shibarium layer 2 network on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain.

Shibarium operates on the basis of a consensus algorithm called proof-of-participation (PoP), according to which validators are chosen according to the quality of their work. If a node in the network makes a lot of errors when validating transactions or is frequently disconnected, the software lowers its rating and begins to favor more efficient nodes.

Thanks to these features, the Shibarium PoP should theoretically increase the level of scalability of the Ethereum blockchain and reduce the cost of performing cryptocurrency transfers.
