Shibarium has come back online after a flash-loan exploit drained funds from its bridge, and the team has outlined a recovery plan that rotates validator keys, restores checkpointing, and pledges refunds to impacted users. Developers say they validated fixes across test networks before resuming mainnet, and they’re tightening infrastructure by partnering with dRPC for broader access while consolidating the official RPC at a single endpoint. Documentation for node operators is being rebuilt to simplify setup, and new monitoring and incident playbooks aim to catch checkpoint mismatches or suspicious key activity sooner. The relaunch frames the incident as a hard lesson in validator security and governance, with a stepwise reopening of cross-chain flows and an ongoing investigation led by core developer reports. A phased refund process is planned as part of efforts to rebuild confidence across the ShibArmy after the bridge pause.
