Shibarium reorg resolved as dRPC migration continues

Shibarium has resolved its reported reorg issue as of Sept. 19, while dRPC migration and other infrastructure work remain unfinished.

Mazrael, a longtime Shiba Inu community member, relayed an update attributed to developer Kaal Dhairya in a Sept. 19 X post, saying “Kaal says reorg is solved.” The message said dRPC still needed to complete the same transition in the network’s new environment. Public reporting reproduced the statement, though detailed technical information explaining the reorg’s cause, duration or affected blocks has not been released.

A separate public statement directly from Dhairya explaining the reorg was not located in the sources reviewed. The resolution therefore remains attributed to the update shared by Mazrael, while current Shiba Inu technical documentation independently confirms several infrastructure changes surrounding Shibarium’s RPC and node setup.

Shibarium reorg is fixed while dRPC work continues

The latest update places the reorg fix inside a longer infrastructure migration that began before September. Shibarium replaced its previous public RPC setup in late 2025 and now directs users and applications to https://rpc.shibarium.shib.io, according to the network’s current official documentation. The page lists Shibarium as chain ID 109, with BONE as its native currency and Shibariumscan as the network explorer.

Mazrael’s update describes dRPC as the remaining party that needs to complete the transition into the new environment. No deadline for that step was provided in the post, and the available Shiba Inu documentation does not give a completion date for the dRPC migration.

The current material does not identify the reorg as a new exploit. No published security notice reviewed for this report links the September 2026 reorg to stolen funds, compromised validator keys or another bridge attack. The lack of technical disclosure means the scope of the reorganization cannot yet be independently measured from the statements released so far.

Shibarium suffered a separate security event in September 2025. As crypto.news reported, an attacker obtained control over enough validator keys to exploit the bridge and remove roughly $2.4 million in assets after using a 4.6 million BONE flash loan. Developers responded by restricting functions and securing remaining assets.

Node operators received new Bor and Heimdall peers

Days before the reorg resolution update, Shibarium node operators were told to replace old peer information.

On Sept. 15, Mazrael reported that the network had completed a full peer rotation covering Bor static nodes and Heimdall persistent peers. The update was described as a replacement of the previous configuration, not an expansion of the existing peer list. Contemporary reports said the new IP set differed completely from the old one.

Shibarium’s official node guide currently instructs operators to confirm that seeds and bootnodes match official values when setting up nodes. The guide covers separate Heimdall and Bor processes and tells operators to check Heimdall synchronization before starting Bor. A catching_up: false result indicates that Heimdall has completed synchronization.

The documentation specifies port 26656 for Heimdall peer-to-peer communication and port 30303 for Bor peer-to-peer traffic. Full and sentry nodes require at least 16 GB to 32 GB of RAM under the published minimums, while validator nodes are listed at 32 GB to 64 GB.

Shibarium advises operators to use snapshots for quicker recovery and migration, monitor disk and network performance and keep node software updated. Its documentation says public access should go through sentry nodes instead of exposing validator ports directly to the internet.

RPC registry now points to Shibarium’s official endpoint

The public Ethereum chain registry independently confirms the updated Shibarium connection information.

The current ethereum-lists chain ID 109 entry names Shibarium and lists https://rpc.shibarium.shib.io as its first RPC endpoint, followed by a NOWNodes endpoint. It records both the chain ID and network ID as 109 and points users to Shibariumscan as the explorer.

The registry is used by wallets and Web3 services to obtain standardized EVM network metadata. Its Shibarium entry now matches the RPC endpoint published by Shiba Inu’s own documentation, providing an independently visible record of the updated network configuration.

Reporting around the current migration said the registry entry had lagged behind Shibarium’s November 2025 RPC move before being refreshed in 2026. The official documents reviewed confirm the present endpoint configuration, though they do not state when every third-party wallet, node provider or middleware service adopted it.

Shibarium’s infrastructure work comes after the network crossed a major usage threshold last year. In related crypto.news coverage, Shibarium surpassed one billion cumulative transactions in April 2025, with more than 194 million addresses recorded at the time.

Explorer indexing and validator maintenance remain unfinished

Shibariumscan has been rebuilding its indexed chain data during the infrastructure work. U.Today reported on Sept. 20 that the explorer displayed 53% of blocks as indexed at the time of its check. The percentage refers to explorer reindexing and should not be treated as a measurement of overall Shibarium network recovery.

The live Shibariumscan explorer remains accessible, though its current index-completion percentage was not available as retrievable text during this review. The 53% figure is therefore best treated as the Sept. 20 snapshot reported from the explorer, not a current figure guaranteed to remain unchanged.

Infrastructure work extends beyond the explorer. Shiba Inu’s official ecosystem status service currently lists Shibarium Validator Staking as under maintenance following an infrastructure migration that began April 17, 2026. The notice says users may be unable to access or interact with validator staking during the maintenance period and advises them not to attempt staking transactions until service is restored.

The official SHIB Ecosystem Status page still displays the validator staking disruption as unresolved, with the engineering team working on restoration and no public completion date listed.
