Shiba Inu news: Shibarium announces Plasma Bridge for BONE
Shibarium has announced the reactivation of the Plasma Bridge for the BONE token, with the move coming a few weeks after a network exploit that saw attackers siphon more than $4.1 million via a flash loan attack.
- Shiba Inu reactivated the BONE Plasma Bridge following a recent freeze.
- The exploit that saw $4.1 million in assets stolen happened after an attacker gained 4.6 million BONE.
- Prices of SHIB, BONE and KNINE fell amid the exploit in September.
The Shiba Inu team has announced the reopening of the Plasma Bridge for BONE on the Shibarium Bridge. According to a blog post, the update includes blacklisting functionality designed to bolster ecosystem security.
What’s new for the Shibarium bridge?
According to the announcement, the reactivated platform taps into a “proactive blacklisting system that lets us flag and block suspicious addresses at the bridge layer.”
The blacklisting functionality will help prevent potential future attacks and will address risks of abuse across the ecosystem.
Shibarium has also added a 7-day withdrawal delay for all BONE Plasma withdrawals. The finalization delay offers a buffer to operators and security teams, with the delay giving them time to monitor and respond to suspicious activity. The move adds a layer of defense without impacting user access.
Shibarium hack
The Shiba Inu (SHIB) community saw an attacker access 4.6 million BONE tokens after a major hack of the Shibaswap that targeted the Shibarium Bridge. The attack happened in September 2025, resulting in the substantial loot of $4.1 million.
Stolen assets included $1 million in Ether, $1.3 million in Shiba Inu’s SHIB, and more than $717,000 in KNINE.
The Shib team’s quick response helped stem further losses. After an initial freeze, the developers successfully reactivated the bridge, with reinforced security at the center of the fresh launch.
