The Shibarium bridge will remain offline until independеnt audits and security reviews confirm all required security measures are complete, Shiba Inu developer Kaal Dhairya said in a detailed update. The post clarifies which tasks are currently оngoing, in progress, and planned, highlighting a structured, verification-first approach to reopening the platform’s cross-chain bridge.

Ongoing Containment and Hardening Efforts

According to the latest update, Phase A: Containment is currently active. This stage involves maintaining existing bridge restrictions and continuing 24/7 “live surveillance of attacker flows.” Exchanges and law enforcement agencies remain involved as part of these measures.

Simultaneously, Phase B: Hardening is in progress. Working with Hexens, the team is implementing tеchnical upgrades across the bridge’s components. Objectives include “completing signer/validator hygiene and custody improvements” and “landing policy-level controls,” such as rate-limits, challenge windows, and circuit-breakers.

Future Phases and Verification Requirements

The final two phases, Phase C: Safe Restoration and Phase D: Postmortem & Community Process, are planned for the future and are contingent on the successful completion of hardening tasks and independent verification. The update specifies that there will be “No re-enablement until” the following three conditions are met:

“Independent reviews sign off on mitigations.”
“Post-incident integrity checks pass.”
“Drills on test environments succeed.”

Only after these verification steps will a phased restoration begin. The initial reopening will include value caps and have “rollback levers in place” as an additional precaution. Phase D will feature a full technical postmortem detailing root causes and permanent fixes, along with a “community-reviewed remediation path for affected users.”

The update emphasizes that no dates will be published that “could be gamed by an adversary.” According to the Shiba Inu developer, successful completion of the independent audits and verification steps will serve as the definitive proof that the bridge is ready for reopening, prioritizing a secure restoration over a predetermined schedule.
