The Shibarium team has announced a significant network upgrade aimed at enhancing decentralization, privacy, and censorship resistance within the Shiba Inu ecosystem. Rate limits will soon be applied to public RPC endpoints.
Network Update
The Shibarium team has shared changes focused on strengthening the network's infrastructure. These changes are not intended to restrict access but to reduce overreliance on centralized RPC gateways.
Goals of the New Limits
According to Shibarium engineering manager John Doe, "Shibarium is implementing rate limits on public RPC endpoints to promote decentralization." This is designed to encourage users and developers to run their own nodes, fostering a more robust infrastructure.
Impact on Shibarium Users
Casual users who interact with Shibarium occasionally are unlikely to be significantly impacted by the changes. However, developers and heavy users of public RPC might need to transition to private or third-party solutions.
The Shibarium network update highlights the importance of decentralization and privacy in blockchain technologies. The team promises to provide additional details in the coming weeks.
