Shiba Inu developer Kaal Dhairya has clarified that the Treat token, which went live on Ethereum in January 2025, has not yet been deployed on Solana or Base.

The developer is reporting that the X account "Shiba Inu Treat" has been compromised by unknown actors, who may be using it to deceive crypto enthusiasts. This follows ongoing confusion surrounding the legitimacy and existence of the TREAT token across multiple chains.

There is no Treat on solana or base the account@treatsforShib seems to have been hacked, please be careful

Shiba Inu: Treat Not on Solana or Base

In response to a question regarding the Treat token's presence on Solana or Base, Dhairya stated that there is no official version of the TREAT token on either of those blockchains.

He explained that any such tokens using the SHIB brand or imagery on the Solana or Base chains are not authorized by the Shiba Inu team and should be disregarded.

Additionally, Susbarium, a Shibarium sleuth on X, corroborated the compromise and advised users to always verify any token featuring the SHIB badge through SHIB.IO or the Ethereum blockchain. According to Susbarium, all legitimate tokens within the Shiba Inu ecosystem are launched on Ethereum first, including TREAT.

Earlier Cases of Misinformation

In January, developer Dhairya responded to another set of claims circulating online.

According to reports, several key Shiba Inu ecosystem tokens—SHIB, LEASH, BONE, and TREAT—had been deployed on the Solana network. However, Dhairya clarified that none of these tokens exist on Solana and addressed the misinformation directly on social media.

Dhairya emphasized that if the Shiba Inu team ever decides to expand its token availability to multiple chains, including Solana, such developments will be officially announced through the project's main website.

Meanwhile, the Shiba Inu team has previously had to respond to similar cases of misinformation. In a prior instance, Shytoshi Kusama had dismissed reports that the TREAT token was stealth-launched in 2023.

That version, being peddled about with the contract "0xFBD...146B" on ShibaSwap, was later confirmed to be fake. CryptoMumms, who earlier claimed the token had launched before the official release, was contradicted by Kusama. The Shiba Inu lead developer stated that the token had not yet been released and that it will be announced when it does.
