The official Shibarium X account, @shibariumnet, has not posted since July 13, 2026, leaving the Shiba Inu community without a clearly identified channel for updates while the Layer 2 network goes through a rebuilding phase, according to Cointribune. The silence has now run nearly four months, with no public explanation and no announced date for resuming publications.
U.Today reported the same inactivity and the same last-post date, adding that a longtime community member, Mazrael, blames the silence on people who hold access to the ecosystem’s main social accounts. Shibariumscan data cited by both outlets shows the chain still producing blocks, although transaction activity is low.

Key facts
- @shibariumnet last posted on July 13, 2026, and has been inactive since, per Cointribune and U.Today.
- Shibarium daily transactions were about 1,020 at the time of the sources’ publication, down from a peak of 6,370 on October 31.
- Shibariumscan indicates 65% of blocks have been reindexed, a process that can leave some data incomplete or hard to consult.
- Community member Mazrael, as reported by U.Today, accused access holders of what he called “silence leeches,” keeping major accounts quiet while promoting bundled tokens.
- Developer Kaal Dhairya reappeared briefly in October and, asked who funds Shibarium’s maintenance, replied “Yours truly,” per Cointribune.
An intact chain with a broken public channel
Both reports draw a line between the account’s silence and the network’s technical state. Shibarium is still processing blocks, and the reindexing notice on Shibariumscan does not by itself point to a failure or an abandoned project. What is missing is the explanation that would normally accompany that work: which services are affected, how far along the reindexing is, and what precautions users should take.
The account had been the place where updates, incidents and changes to the Shiba Inu Layer 2 were announced. Its absence has left several questions without a clearly identified source: who controls the account, why posting stopped on July 13, what the schedule is for the current work, and what the real state of services is during reindexing.
The Mazrael allegation and the transparency record
Mazrael’s claim, made in an X post on November 7, 2026 and described by U.Today, is that some people with access to Shiba Inu’s main social accounts, including @shibariumnet, keep them deliberately inactive. He linked that silence to the promotion of other tokens. Cointribune notes the statement is an unverified allegation that does not amount to an official explanation, and the two outlets present it as community frustration rather than confirmed fact.
This is not the first call for transparency. Cointribune reported that as early as March, community members were pressing for more information about validators, the ecosystem’s tokens and the team’s reorganization, and felt essential updates arrived too rarely.
Kaal Dhairya’s October comment, that he covers maintenance costs himself, was read as a sign the network had not been abandoned. Cointribune noted it gave no budget or long-term funding model. U.Today, in its own market context, reported SHIB down 1.15% over 24 hours at $0.00000445 at the time of writing.
Why it matters
For SHIB holders, the practical risk is informational rather than technical: a quiet official account leaves room for rumors, impersonating profiles and fraudulent announcements aimed at token holders. That matters more than usual for a project whose reach depends heavily on its community base, where governance questions become trust questions once official channels look opaque.
The two outlets frame the stakes slightly differently. Cointribune places the emphasis on governance and the integrity of official channels; U.Today frames the silence against flat on-chain activity and a subdued SHIB price. Both agree the next meaningful signal is not a rise in transactions alone.
What to watch
The concrete markers are a published reindexing schedule, clarification on who controls @shibariumnet, and a return of regular technical updates, which Cointribune identified as the signals that would address the community’s questions. Readers should treat any price commentary here as informational only, not as financial advice; crypto markets are volatile and uncertain.
