The Role of TREAT in the Shiba Inu Ecosystem
The upcoming Treat token is a critical addition to the Shiba Inu ecosystem. During the “Shy Speaks” podcast, Shytoshi Kusama delved into the significance of the token, describing its role in governance and innovation.
Notably, TREAT will unlock advanced features within the network and contribute to the project’s overarching vision of a decentralized, scalable digital framework.
The token’s integration is a step toward evolving the ecosystem beyond its origins as a meme coin. In the podcast, Kusama also outlined the broader context of Treat within the ecosystem, touching on its connection to Web3, blockchain technology, and AI integration.
Scams Ahead of Launch
As anticipation builds, the pseudonymous leader of the Shiba Inu project issued a cautionary statement urging users to remain vigilant against scams.
Notably, some bad actors have propagated false claims about the Treat token being available for almost two years. However, Kusama responded to the alleged stealth launch of Treat, clarifying that the governance token has yet to be introduced officially. The misinformation persists despite efforts by the Shiba Inu team to dispel these false narratives.
Scammers have even promoted fake versions of Treat, claiming to trade the token on ShibaSwap with a specific wallet address. This development has proved the importance of caution within the community as the official launch date approaches.
