An EVM-compatible Layer 2 for the Shiba Inu ecosystem, Puppynet Shibarium uses BONE for gas and delivers fast, low-cost transactions for dApps and DeFi.
Puppynet Shibarium is an EVM-compatible, Ethereum-secured layer-2 mainnet for the Shiba Inu ecosystem that uses BONE as the native gas token. It powers low-cost, high-throughput dApps across DeFi (e.g., ShibaSwap), payments/microtransactions, gaming, NFT minting, and cross-chain bridging of SHIB/BONE/LEASH and stablecoins from Ethereum. Observed metrics on public explorers show average gas fees often under $0.01 (paid in BONE), ~5s block times, burst throughput in the tens-to-100+ TPS range, and peaks of millions of transactions per day.
Shibarium is unique for its BONE-denominated gas model, deep integration with the Shiba Inu community and assets, and a PoS/EVM architecture (akin to Polygon-Edge style) that enables fast finality with familiar tooling. Versus Ethereum L1 (~12s blocks, ~15 TPS, dollar-level fees), Shibarium typically delivers ~5s blocks, higher realized throughput, and sub-cent fees in BONE—well-suited for microtransactions, NFTs, and gaming workloads. It also provides an official bridge and broad wallet/explorer/oracle support, simplifying cross-chain asset movement and dApp deployment.
