Anticipation builds in Shiba Inu community
Anticipation is growing in the Shiba Inu community following Shiba Inu lead Shytoshi Kusama's recent announcement.
The Shiba Inu community is gearing up for the imminent launch of the TREAT token. Speaking about this, the Shiba Inu lead stated in an X post: "As you may know, Shib is home to a variety of tokens, including Shib, Bone, Leash, and our upcoming unreleased token: TREAT. Each token has its own utility and governance, and TREAT is the access token to all the advanced features of our systern, in contrast to Leash, which is about exclusivity, or Bone, which focuses on technology."
The global "Treat Yourself" tour was also announced by the Shiba Inu lead. The tour began with the IVS in Kyoto and will continue with stops at important events, such as the Blockchain Futurist Conference in Toronto, before culminating in the highly anticipated ShibaCon 2024 in Bangkok.
