Shiba Inu advances in the Shibarium security update amid the October price drop

The Shiba Inu team has launched a Shibarium security update through the RPC Migration Network, improving decentralization by shutting down legacy endpoints and eliminating single points of failure to enhance network stability and long-term reliability.

The Shibarium security update is a fundamental initiative by the Shiba Inu development team aimed at strengthening the layer 2 blockchain infrastructure against vulnerabilities.

This update, known as the RPC Migration Network, is underway and focuses on migrating to a more robust and decentralized RPC system.

By retiring the legacy public RPC endpoint in the next two weeks, it removes possible single points of failure that could compromise network stability, ensuring a more resilient platform for both users and developers.

This measure responds to lessons learned from a security incident that occurred in September, where a compromised validator key temporarily halted operations.

Although the issue was due to external manipulation of the stake rather than an inherent chain failure, it underscored the need for enhanced protections.

The update builds on subsequent improvements, including the restoration of the Plasma bridge for BONE tokens, which now incorporates advanced security measures to prevent similar disruptions.

The RPC migration network update fundamentally strengthens Shibarium's decentralization by distributing RPC endpoints across multiple nodes, reducing reliance on centralized access points that could be attacked or fail under load. $SHIB
