Shibarium Chain ID Mistake

On March 16th, it was reported that the anonymous developer Kaaldhairya of the Shibarium team, the Layer2 solution launched by Shiba Inu, responded that the Shibarium chain used the same chain ID as the Rinia Testnet chain, saying that very few chain IDs were randomly selected – 417 (Alpha), 517 (Staging), 917 (pre pod/beta). At that time, these chains were not registered anywhere. I made a mistake and did not re check when the Puppynet network was started, The new version of the BETA network will be redeployed using the new chain ID.

Shibarium responded by copying Rinia’s code and saying that it would redeploy the BETA network using the new chain ID

Analysis based on this information:


The Shibarium team launched their Layer2 solution for Shiba Inu, but it was reported on March 16th that their anonymous developer, Kaaldhairya, had made a mistake in the chain ID selection. The Shibarium chain was using the same ID as the Rinia Testnet chain, which meant that they had not properly checked the availability of chain IDs. However, Kaaldhairya explained that only a few chain IDs were randomly selected from a pool of options – 417 (Alpha), 517 (Staging), 917 (pre pod/beta) – which were not registered anywhere at the time.

The Shibarium team decided to redeploy the new version of the BETA network using a new chain ID, indicating their commitment towards addressing the mistake. While it may seem like a small oversight, choosing an incorrect chain ID can have severe consequences, so it is important to take these matters seriously.

Given the Shibarium team’s effort to resolve the issue and the prompt disclosure of the mistake, this incident does not seem to have affected investor confidence significantly. It does highlight the importance of attention to detail in blockchain development and the risks of deploying solutions without adequate testing and verification.

In conclusion, the Shibarium chain ID mistake serves as a reminder that even small errors in blockchain development can have significant consequences. However, the team’s commitment to correcting their mistake and re-deploying a new version of the BETA network demonstrates their commitment to the community and their transparency in addressing issues. Moving forward, it will be crucial for the team to prioritize thorough testing and verification processes to avoid similar oversights in the future.
