According to U.Today, Shiba Inu team member Lucie has issued a statement urging patience from the SHIB community as they anticipate the launch of the TREAT token. In a tweet, Lucie reminded the community that quality products take time to develop and encouraged them to stay focused on the project's long-term goals. She emphasized the importance of treating the SHIB, BONE, and LEASH tokens with care, possibly referring to ongoing and future efforts to enhance their utility. Lucie also warned the community to stay safe, a crucial reminder to guard against potential scams or misinformation that might arise during the wait for the TREAT token launch.

Earlier in the week, Shiba Inu lead Shytoshi Kusama hinted at upcoming developments for the Shiba Inu ecosystem in an X post. These include the launch of TREAT and the global 'treat yourself tour.' Kusama also mentioned finalizing partnerships to strengthen the system they've built and the completion of Ryoshi's plan for a decentralized system with no leader. The launch of Treat, Shi, and Shibacon, along with the necessary technology, is expected to ensure a smooth transition to control by the DAOs, as outlined in the Shib Paper last year. The Shibarium network's official X handle recently tweeted a teaser, further fueling anticipation for developments in the Shiba Inu ecosystem.
