The launch of <a href="https://crypto.news/shiba-inu-devs-unveil-shibarium-scaling-plans-amid-technical-challenges/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Shibarium</a> faced several technical difficulties during its initial run. The Shiba Inu team clarified that the cause of the network’s technical issues was an unexpectedly high traffic volume, which led to congestion and increased gas fees. 
The average gas fee for a transaction on Shibarium reached as high as $100 at one point, and transaction speeds slowed down significantly, with some users reporting that it took several minutes for their transactions to be processed. 
The team behind Shibarium denied reports of bridge problems and asset losses, calling them FUD. The project’s lead developer acknowledged the technical difficulties during the Shibarium launch but claimed they were unrelated to the blockchain’s design.
