- SHIB sees a 10% price surge amid excitement for TREAT and a spike in its burn rate.
Shytoshi Kusama the lead developer of Shiba Inu has revealed that the TREAT token offering will be the next major development of the SHIB ecosystem. Originally planned by Shiba Inu’s creator, Ryoshi, TREAT will supplant BONE as the reward token in ShibSwap and assume numerous positions geared toward centralizing the realm’s DeFi energies.
Besides encouraging users within ShibSwap, this token will help provide liquidity for SHI the ecosystem’s stablecoin. With this development, the Shiba Inu community is keen and preparing itself to make changes to improve governance, trust, and utility on its platform.
Functioning as a governance token and a trust token
The TREAT token is supposed to be an active element in improving the governance mechanisms and building trust within the Shiba Inu ecosystem. Kusama highlighted that the token would back a new Karma and Reputation management system designed to tackle scams in the crypto space. However, this system will promote constructive behaviors and punish negative ones, something that has not been done in the past regarding trust problems in the field.
Karma and Reputation built into the foundational elements of Shib’s ecosystem and advanced features powered by Treat will solve this once and for all.

TREAT is also expected to serve as a governance tool, empowering community members with decision-making capabilities that align with Shiba Inu’s decentralized vision. By integrating TREAT into key functions such as rewards and liquidity provision, Kusama aims to streamline the ecosystem while promoting a safe and transparent environment for users.
Although the token has not been launched officially, its introduction marks a significant step forward in the ecosystem’s mission to expand its DeFi offerings and secure its position in the crypto space.
