- Shiba Inu’s Shibarium blockchain has undergone a significant upgrade with the release of the Heimdall and Bor hard forks, enhancing performance, stability, and security.
- The Bor hard fork introduces a new burn contract, supporting Shiba Inu’s deflationary mechanics and paving the way for future updates.
Shiba Inu’s blockchain, Shibarium, has just undergone a major upgrade, with significant changes to its performance and deflationary mechanics. The update, which includes the Heimdall and Bor hard forks, aims to enhance network stability, increase security, and lay the foundation for future innovations. Here’s what you need to know about the latest improvements.
The Heimdall Hard Fork: Enhancing Code and Stability
The first part of the upgrade is the Heimdall hard fork, now live with the release of v1.07-bone for the Shibarium blockchain. This version comes with a series of enhancements designed to improve overall network stability and performance.
Key updates include:
- Documentation Enhancements: The upgrade improves the documentation, making it easier for developers and users to navigate the network.
- Code Validation Improvements: The update ensures that the blockchain runs smoothly with better validation checks.
- Bug Fixes and Dependency Upgrades: The fork addresses minor issues and ensures that the network is more secure and efficient.
In preparation for the next phase, validators are required to upgrade to the latest Heimdall version before the upcoming Dencun hard fork on Ethereum’s Bor network. This will ensure Shibarium remains compatible with Ethereum’s evolving blockchain, particularly the new blob transactions introduced in Ethereum’s Dencun upgrade.
The Bor Hard Fork: Boosting Performance and Deflationary Mechanics
Next, the Bor hard fork introduces several features focused on improving performance, security, and the overall management of the Shiba Inu blockchain. One of the most notable changes is the implementation of a new burn contract, which plays a crucial role in Shiba Inu’s deflationary mechanics.
The new burn contract has been deployed at the address 0x541F60e5576764cA3957f70b6a1E60f3CE5886e0 on block 8200512. This upgrade is designed to support future updates and provide greater flexibility for Shiba Inu’s deflationary strategy.
The burn contract will help reduce the total supply of SHIB tokens, which is a key element in driving up value as the supply decreases. This makes the Shiba Inu ecosystem more attractive to holders and investors alike, as the deflationary mechanism supports long-term price stability.
Looking Ahead: A Stronger Shiba Inu Ecosystem
These upgrades to the Shiba Inu network mark a significant step forward in its development. With the combination of the Heimdall and Bor hard forks, Shiba Inu is enhancing its blockchain to ensure better performance, greater security, and a sustainable future.
As the network continues to evolve with these improvements, SHIB holders can expect more exciting updates that further strengthen the ecosystem and drive the value of their investments.
