- Shiba Inu releases updated Shibarium documentation for building on its Ethereum sidechain.
- Developers can now access step-by-step guides on deploying smart contracts using Remix and Hardhat.
- The documentation details validator participation and asset bridging between Shibarium and Ethereum.
Shiba Inu marketing specialist Lucie shared an updated Shibarium documentation on X (formerly Twitter), providing comprehensive guides for developers and validators within the ecosystem.
The updated documents cover a wide range of topics, including building smart contracts, becoming a validator, and bridging assets between Shibarium and Ethereum.
Shibarium, a fast and cost-efficient Ethereum layer-2 network, now offers detailed instructions for developers to create and deploy smart contracts using popular tools like Remix and Hardhat.
The documentation outlines the necessary steps for deploying contracts, from specifying the SPDX license type to setting up Metamask or Arkane Wallet for interacting with the Shibarium network. Developers can also use the Shibarium faucet to acquire test BONE tokens for deployment.
The updated documentation details the operational mechanics of Shiba Inu’s Proof-of-Stake (PoS) architecture. The transaction lifecycle on Shiba Inu PoS follows a cyclical workflow, starting with user-initiated transactions through smart contracts.
Public checkpoint nodes then validate these transactions against the current state of the Shiba Inu chain. Once validated, transactions are grouped into a checkpoint and submitted to the core contracts on the Ethereum mainnet for verification. After verification, state changes are committed to the Shiba Inu sidechain, with an optional asset transfer back to the Ethereum mainnet via the exit queue.
Additionally, the documentation explains how to bridge assets between Shibarium and Ethereum, enabling users to deposit and withdraw tokens, and send assets between the two networks. This bridging process enhances interoperability and allows for seamless asset transfers.
To facilitate development, Shibarium supports various services for testing, compiling, debugging, and deploying decentralized applications (dApps). These services include deployment using thirdweb, Remix, Truffle, Hardhat, and Replit. The network operates on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), making it compatible with Ethereum-based tools and wallets.
The Shibarium network consists of two layers: the Heimdall layer and the Bor layer. The Heimdall layer is a consensus layer that communicates with staking contracts deployed on the Ethereum mainnet and commits Shibarium Network checkpoints to the Ethereum mainnet. The Bor layer, a Geth-based execution layer, is composed of block-producing Bor nodes shuffled by Heimdall nodes.
