Shibarium has deployed nine Safe v1.4.1 contracts on its mainnet, expanding the infrastructure available for multisignature wallets and programmable smart accounts across the layer-2 network. The move brings the Shiba Inu ecosystem's chain in line with a standard that has become a de facto choice for onchain treasury management: Safe, formerly known as Gnosis Safe, is widely used across Ethereum and other EVM networks, and version v1.4.1 is the latest major release of its contract suite.

Shiba Inu community member Mazrael confirmed that all nine contracts are live and verified through the Shibariumscan explorer. Contributors have also opened Safe-deployments pull request 1666 to register Shibarium's latest Safe deployment within the broader Safe ecosystem. For Shibarium, which launched in August 2023 as a layer-2 network built on Polygon's chain technology, integrating established account infrastructure is a step toward offering developers the same tooling they expect on major EVM chains.

Safe smart accounts require transactions to be approved by multiple authorized signers before execution. For projects managing treasury funds, this setup can reduce reliance on a single wallet holder while adding oversight for decentralized teams and community-managed applications. The deployment also gives Shibarium developers access to established Safe tooling — including its software development kit and interface ecosystem — instead of requiring them to build their own multisignature infrastructure.

Deployment Targets Cross-Network Compatibility

The nine contracts were deployed on Shibarium mainnet through the established Safe Singleton Factory using the network's chain identifier, 109.

A key feature of the deployment is its use of canonical Safe addresses recognized across supported blockchain networks. The SafeProxyFactory on Shibarium occupies the same address used by Safe on other canonical chains. That address consistency means Safes created on Shibarium can use corresponding addresses across compatible networks, giving developers a more uniform deployment framework — a property that matters for teams deploying identical contract setups across multiple chains, a common practice among treasuries and protocols that operate multichain.

Shibarium had previously registered Safe v1.3.0 through the eip155 deployment collection. However, that earlier factory does not offer the same cross-network address consistency available through the latest canonical deployment.

Each of the nine newly deployed addresses corresponds to the canonical records published in Safe's repository for the respective contracts, and their runtime code produces keccak256 hashes matching Safe's published canonical code hashes. These checks are intended to confirm that the Shibarium contracts contain the expected Safe code and sit at the approved addresses.

The deployment is not yet equivalent to formal inclusion in Safe's repository. Pull request 1666 remains subject to Safe's established review process, under which canonical deployment registrations are reviewed every two weeks and accepted additions are generally incorporated into monthly releases. Until that review completes, developers on Shibarium can verify the contracts directly through the explorer.

Shibariumscan Indexing Continues After Service Disruption

The Safe deployment arrives as Shibariumscan continues infrastructure work following a service disruption. According to Mazrael, Shibariumscan has undergone a reset and has so far indexed approximately 50% of Shibarium's blocks. The explorer was moved behind Cloudflare on August 11 as operators adjusted the system after the disruption.

The incomplete indexing may temporarily limit access to historical blockchain records through the explorer, although the underlying Shibarium network remains operational, according to the source material. Mazrael also rejected claims that Shibarium is inactive, pointing instead to ongoing maintenance and infrastructure migration.

The latest Safe deployment therefore represents an infrastructure update for developers even as Shibariumscan works to restore complete indexing and historical data availability. What to watch next is the outcome of pull request 1666's review cycle and the explorer's progress toward full block indexing, both of which would signal how quickly Shibarium's developer infrastructure returns to a fully standard footing.
