Shibarium RPC Endpoint

Flat-rate Shibarium RPC provider and Shibarium RPC node access: free tier, no KYC, HTTP & WebSocket. Shibarium mainnet chain ID 109.

Shibarium is an Ethereum Layer 2 network developed for the Shiba Inu ecosystem. It uses a Polygon-style architecture with a Heimdall validation layer and a Bor block-production layer, offering low fees and EVM compatibility.

About Shibarium

Shibarium launched its mainnet in August 2023 as a scaling layer for Shiba Inu. Its architecture follows the Polygon design: a Bor block-production layer that runs the EVM and a Heimdall layer built on a Cosmos SDK / Tendermint-derived (Peppermint) consensus engine, with checkpoints settled to Ethereum.

Validators participate by staking BONE, which is also used to pay gas on the network. Shibarium is EVM-compatible, so standard Solidity contracts and Ethereum tooling deploy directly, and it serves as the settlement and application layer for Shiba Inu tokens such as SHIB, BONE, and LEASH.

Common Use Cases on Shibarium

• Low-fee transfers of SHIB and ecosystem tokens
• DeFi protocols and DEXes
• NFT minting and games
• BONE staking and validation
• Consumer and metaverse applications

Shibarium Ecosystem

The ecosystem is anchored by Shiba Inu tokens (SHIB, BONE, LEASH) and projects such as ShibaSwap, plus games and dApps in the Shib metaverse.
