Exodus Wallet Eyes Shiba Inu Expansion With Shibarium Integration
Leading non-custodial crypto wallet Exodus confirms that it has logged Shibarium integration requests in its suggestion box.
Exodus has provided an update about its potential integration of Shiba Inu’s Layer-2 (L2) scaling solution, Shibarium.
Exodus Wallet Considers Supporting Shibarium
In a recent development, the official X handle of Exodus Wallet confirmed that the requests to support Shibarium and its gas token Bone ShibaSwap (BONE) have been logged in its suggestion box for consideration.
Hey, hey 👋 Shibarium and BONE are in our suggestion box 📮 I don’t have an ETA, but if I did, I’d share it with you in a heartbeat. No promises at this stage, but we’re grateful for your presence in the Exodus ecosystem. -BT

Exodus’ X handler noted that they do not have a specific timeline for when Shibarium and BONE will be supported on the wallet.
However, they expressed a willingness to publicly disclose any update regarding the integration of Shibarium and BONE on the platform.
Shiba Inu Fans React as Exodus Support Aptos
Exodus made this known an hour after it added support for the Aptos network.
“Aptos support is now live on Exodus for desktop,” it announced yesterday.
The development prompted Shiba Inu community members, including Chubibi (@Pika_Shib), to ask Exodus when it plans to support Shibarium and BONE.
Chubibi had tendered an informal request to Exodus, asking the wallet provider to enable support for Shibarium. In response, Exodus stated that it forwarded the request for Shibarium support to the appropriate team for consideration.
Following Chubibi’s recent query on the matter, Exodus’ X handler claimed that the request to support Shibarium and BONE had been logged in the suggestion box.
Shiba Inu Team, Thanks Exodus
Reacting, Shiba Inu’s marketing lead Lucie expressed gratitude to Exodus on behalf of the Shibarium community. She emphasized that the community will appreciate the support of Shibarium on Exodus Wallet.
Thank you, #Shibarium community will really appreciate this. https://t.co/u28kzJdwNc

The Shiba Inu community has been calling on Exodus to support Shibarium for over a year. However, the wallet provider has refused to make any promise regarding when it plans to roll out support for Shibarium.
In an X post in February 2023, Exodus claimed it had logged the request with its assets team for consideration. However, it has yet to declare support for the network.
Shibarium Scores Major Integrations
Launched in August 2023, Shibarium has scored multiple integrations across major platforms, including crypto exchanges and wallets.
On March 22, top crypto exchange BluBit added support for Shibarium, allowing its users to deposit and withdraw Shiba Inu ecosystem tokens via the network.
Other crypto-related platforms, including Gate.io, Frontier, and GroveX, have also supported the L2 scaling solution.
As more platforms integrate with Shibarium, the network’s user activity has skyrocketed tremendously. Despite launching in less than a year, Shibarium now boasts more than 412 million total transactions, 3.9 million total blocks, and 1.38 million wallets.
Should Exodus Wallet declare support for Shibarium, the network’s user activity will spike even further.
