Shiba Inu’s Shibarium developers have officially changed the Chain ID of the Shibarium testnet to address circulating FUD that had erupted on the heels of speculations that the Shibarium testnet code was a copycat of the Rinia network.

Pseudonymous Unification validator Ringoshi Toitsu called public attention to the development through his Twitter handle today, sharing a snapshot of the reviewed Chain ID.

Per data, the Chain ID of the Shibarium testnet has been changed from 917 to 719. The disclosure comes as a relief to the Shiba Inu community members, as the widespread FUD that erupted on the back of the clone allegations had triggered a rift in the camp.
