Shibacoin (SHIC) — Live Network Data
This node is still syncing from genesis
Our Shibacoin node is in initial block download — verifying the chain block-by-block over the coin’s P2P network, the only way we ingest data. Until verification completes, this page shows sync progress and nothing else: no borrowed explorer numbers, no third-party hashrate, nothing pretending to be our measurement.
Live metrics appear here automatically the moment the node leaves IBD.

What Shibacoin is
Shibacoin launched in early 2025 on the Pepecoin template — a Dogecoin-1.14-class fork — with AuxPoW accepted from block 24,000 and addresses starting with S. ShibaCoin Core 1.2.1 shipped 2025-08-16; the release cadence has slowed since, which we note plainly. It is a meme coin; this page measures its chain.
SHIC runs 60-second blocks and is carried by ViaBTC (which launched its SHIC pool with a 30-day zero-fee promo) and F2Pool — thinner carriage than BELLS, PEP or LKY, which shows directly in the pull-rate tile above.
The project’s own iquidus explorer is the only public data surface; zero telemetry is published anywhere. BasinTwo’s own node archives the chain forward from 2026-10-02.
FAQ
- What is Shibacoin (SHIC)?
- Shibacoin (SHIC) is a scrypt proof-of-work meme coin launched in early 2025 on the Pepecoin codebase template (Dogecoin-1.14-class). It runs 60-second blocks and is merge-mined (AuxPoW from block 24,000) under Litecoin parent pools.
- Can you mine Shibacoin directly?
- Not on its own, and you don’t need to: Shibacoin is merge-mined (AuxPoW) under Litecoin parent pools. Point your scrypt machine at a pool that carries SHIC — ViaBTC or F2Pool — and it arrives as a kicker on your LTC payouts, for the same hashes you were already doing. Solo AuxPoW setups exist, but pool merged mining is how virtually all SHIC blocks are found. Carriage is thinner than the big crosses — ViaBTC and F2Pool are the payers we verified.
- Where does this data come from?
- From BasinTwo’s own Shibacoin full node, synced block-by-block from genesis over the coin’s P2P network — no snapshots, no third-party APIs. The page reads the same public JSON feeds anyone can: basintwo.com/api/chain/shic and basintwo.com/api/nodes/shic. Our forward archive for this chain began 2026-10-02; indicators that need deeper history say so instead of faking it.
