The new chain will leverage Zama.ai’s FHE technology to solve several problems plaguing the crypto industry, including privacy and trust “for Shiba Inu’s large community of tens of millions, and the next billion, crypto-curious individuals.”
Per the statement, TREAT will be the final non-stable token from the Shiba Inu team. It will be used to unlock the new privacy-focused blockchain, which is being built on Shibarium, Shiba Inu’s Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain.
Shiba Inu’s lead developer, Shytoshi Kusama, lauded the development, noting that winning the support of powerful VCs, brands, and angel investors was exciting as Shiba Inu plowed “towards the completion of this grand decentralized experiment.”
