Shiba Inu Inc. has revealed plans to launch its final ecosystem token, TREAT, scheduled for January 2025. This token will enhance the Shiba Inu ecosystem, which already includes SHIB, BONE, and LEASH, making TREAT a crucial part of the network’s reward and governance systems.
Shiba Inu’s New Token Set for January Release
The announcement was shared on January 2 via the official Treat Twitter account (@treatsforShib), stating, “The new year begins with TREAT! The wait is over, TREAT is launching this January. Let’s kick off 2025 with a bang!” Shytoshi Kusama, Shiba Inu’s lead developer, confirmed the token’s launch with a simple message: “SOON.”
Further details about TREAT are now accessible on the Shiba Inu website, highlighting its significant role in the ecosystem. TREAT is designed to unlock advanced features within the network operation system, functioning as an access token that integrates rewards, governance, security, and spending, ultimately creating a thriving community.
According to the website, “Owning TREAT grants exclusive access to innovative features and services that redefine digital interactions. Whether seeking advanced payment options or exploring new avenues for virtual collaboration, TREAT serves as an all-access pass to a more innovative and interconnected future.”
One of TREAT’s exciting features is “WOOF Wars: Farming 2.0,” a sophisticated yield farming initiative aimed at maximizing earnings for Shiba Inu users. This feature employs veTREAT (vote escrowed TREAT), enabling participants to influence liquidity pair rewards through dynamic voting, allowing liquidity providers to earn extra TREAT rewards on top of trading fees.
TREAT also significantly contributes to the governance of the “Innovation Branch of the Network State,” allowing SHIB holders to engage in strategic investments in various projects, thereby empowering community members to shape the ecosystem actively.
Regular voting opportunities enable token holders to align liquidity incentives with market trends, ensuring the ecosystem stays adaptive to changing conditions. The official documentation reiterates this by stating, “Staking TREAT allows holders to amplify their governance power, enhancing the token’s influence in vital decision-making processes.”
Beyond governance and rewards, TREAT provides real-world utility through SHIB Pay, an on-chain payment system. The Shiba Inu website claims, “With TREAT, users can make direct payments without relying on traditional processors, ensuring transparency and trust via blockchain verification. This marks the beginning of a new era in crypto-based commerce.”
As of the latest update, SHIB is priced at $0.00002264.
