New Shibarium Upgrade Revealed by SHIB Veteran: What's Being Added?

Shiba Inu long-time community member Mazrael highlighted the deployment of Safe v1.4.1 on the Shibarium network in a recent X post.

According to Mazrael, nine Safe contracts are now live and verified on Shibarium explorer Shibariumscan, while a corresponding pull request, 'safe-deployments PR#1666,' has been opened for the deployment registrations.

"Safe v1.4.1 (9 contracts) live + verified on Shibariumscan. Safe-deployments PR#1666 opened," Mazrael said in his X post, alongside a screenshot that outlined the nine contracts deployed and verified.

Mazrael noted that Safe reviews canonical-deployment registrations on a two-week cadence with monthly releases.

Safe is widely used as infrastructure for smart-account and multisignature wallet functionality. Its deployments can provide projects with established tooling for managing assets and executing transactions through multiple signers.

What's being added?

According to a GitHub document, "Add Shibarium (chain 109) — Safe v1.4.1 canonical deployment," all nine Safe v1.4.1 contracts are now deployed on Shibarium mainnet at their canonical addresses via the Safe Singleton Factory (0x914d7Fec6aaC8cd542e72Bca78B30650d45643d7), and verified on the chain's block explorer.

Shibarium already has v1.3.0 registered through the eip155 deployment set, but PR #1666 adds v1.4.1 at the canonical addresses, which implies the 'SafeProxyFactory' is at the same address as on every other canonical chain, so Safes created on Shibarium share addresses with their counterparts on other networks. The existing v1.3.0 eip155 factory cannot provide that.

In the context of deployed contracts, every address matches 'deployments.canonical.address' and each on-chain runtime 'keccak256(code)' matches the 'deployments.canonical.codeHash' published in the repository.

Shibarium not dead?

As reported, Mazrael pushed back against claims that Shiba Inu layer-2 Shibarium is no longer functioning, saying the network remains operational. He noted that the Shibarium infrastructure is still being maintained and migrated, and the community is still operating around it.

In this light, Shibarium explorer Shibarium Scan is currently experiencing a reset with 50% of blocks indexed. As reported, Shibarium's explorer went behind Cloudflare on August 11, with an infrastructure migration following this outage.
