Shiba Inu Issues Warning: TREAT Token Not Yet Launched

The Shiba Inu community has released a critical security warning alerting investors and crypto users that no official TREAT token has been launched on Solana or Base networks. Any such token employing the SHIB branding on these blockchains is not part of the official Shiba Inu ecosystem and is most probably involved in some sort of scam to trick investors.
There was some speculation recently on whether the TREAT token had been released. The confusion mounted after false statements were posted via the Twitter account @treatsforShib, which has since been verified to be hacked. The Shiba Inu team has warned the community to ignore any statement made from this account unless confirmed through proper channels.

Official SHIB Tokens Are Available Only on Ethereum

As per the Shiba Inu team, all official tokens within the SHIB ecosystem — SHIB, LEASH, BONE, and TREAT — are purely on the Ethereum blockchain. Tokens released on any other network under the SHIB name or logo, particularly on Solana or Base, are unauthorized and could be scams.

Investor Advisory: Be Vigilant and Check

The community has been advised to exercise simple precautions in order not to fall victim to scams:

• Always check token authenticity via official sources such as SHIB.io or by looking directly on the Ethereum blockchain.
• Shun tokens on other chains using SHIB branding.
• Do not believe reports from compromised or unofficial accounts.
• Keep wallet privacy and don't click on suspicious links.

The popularity of Shiba Inu has, unfortunately, made it a target for spammers, particularly when new tokens are released or false versions are advertised to take advantage of user trust.

Conclusion

This alert from the Shiba Inu ecosystem is a harsh wake-up call for every crypto investor — reliability and verification are your first lines of defense. As the crypto space grows rapidly, scammers are finding new ways to game the system. Only Ethereum-based tokens are officially accepted in the SHIB ecosystem. Be aware, do your due diligence, and only use trusted sources.
