TREAT will have an essential role in WOOF Wars: Farming 2.0, a yield farming mechanism leveraging veTREAT (vote escrowed TREAT) for governance and other community-driven initiatives.
The token will be integrated into SHIB Pay, Shiba Inu’s on-chain payment solution. This integration is expected to unlock real-world utility for TREAT holders, creating opportunities for seamless transactions and access to innovative solutions.
The team has highlighted TREAT’s role in governing the Network State of the innovation branch, where decisions about marketing and technological direction will be made.
Advancing Beyond Meme Status
The development team introduced TREAT in 2022, hinting at its potential to drive Shiba Inu’s transition from a meme token to a technology focused ecosystem.
According to Kusama, the token will guide investments in artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies. He likened TREAT to a “branch of government focused on innovation,” ensuring the project remains competitive in the market.
In his weekly podcast, scheduled for Tuesdays, Kusama will reveal the token’s specific utilities, explaining its broader impact on the ecosystem. The podcast will provide a platform for the community to have a deeper understanding of TREAT’s importance and its alignment with Shiba Inu’s long-term goals.
TREAT’s Utility
The team outlined TREAT’s capabilities as an important component of the ecosystem. It is designed to unlock advanced features while empowering the community with governance rights through veTREAT. Its integration with SHIB Pay redefines transaction processes, creating practical use cases for the token.
