Shiba Inu Team Unveils Utility Breakdown of SHIB, BONE, LEASH, and TREAT Tokens

Join us on :

The Shiba Inu development team, via its official Shibarium-linked X account @Shibizens, has released a comprehensive utility guide highlighting the purpose of its four key ecosystem tokens: SHIB, BONE, LEASH, and TREAT. Each of these digital assets contributes uniquely to Shibarium’s decentralised infrastructure, ensuring utility, governance, exclusivity, and rewards within the expanding ecosystem.

SHIB: The Ecosystem’s Currency and Adoption Driver

According to the team, SHIB serves as the primary ecosystem currency and a key driver of adoption. Widely accepted for payments through platforms like BitPay, Binance Pay, and NOWPayments, SHIB provides global merchant accessibility. As the most held token within the SHIB ecosystem, it continues to serve as the entry point for new users.

Importantly, SHIB is a deflationary asset. The team regularly burns tokens, gradually decreasing the circulating supply. This scarcity is designed to increase its long-term value.

“SHIB is what brings people in. It’s the ecosystem’s heartbeat,” the Shibizens account stated.

BONE: Fuel for Shibarium and Governance Power

Next, the guide highlights BONE as the engine of the ecosystem. It is the native gas token of the Shibarium blockchain, used for every transaction and smart contract execution. Without BONE, no action can occur on the network.

BONE also plays a vital role in governance. Token holders can vote on proposals within the Doggy DAO, helping shape the future of the Shiba Inu ecosystem. With a fixed supply of 250 million, BONE is designed as a scarce resource. Validators and delegators who maintain Shibarium’s security earn their rewards in BONE.

“BONE runs the engine. No BONE, no Shibarium,” the team emphasised.

LEASH: The Token of Exclusivity and Early Access

Unlike SHIB and BONE, LEASH is about access and exclusivity. With an ultra-low supply of just 107,646 tokens, LEASH is positioned as the VIP pass of the SHIB ecosystem.

LEASH holders gain early access to premium events, including airdrops, early NFT mints, and land sales. This exclusivity makes LEASH highly desirable among loyal community members and long-term investors.

“LEASH is your backstage pass to everything premium,” according to the Shibarium update.

TREAT: Rewards and Ecosystem Utility

Finally, the guide explains the role of TREAT, the newest token in the ecosystem. Now officially live, TREAT acts as a rewards and utility token. It is designed to support various ecosystem functions, including staking, liquidity incentives, and user engagement rewards.

TREAT is also designed to energise the ecosystem by offering rewards tied to upcoming decentralised apps (dApps) and platform launches. In doing so, it helps maintain user interest and promotes scalability across all SHIB products.

“TREAT is the glue between products – rewarding, scaling, and energizing the ecosystem,” the guide concluded.

Final Thoughts

With the release of this token utility guide, the Shiba Inu team is doubling down on transparency and education. As the ecosystem expands, understanding how SHIB, BONE, LEASH, and TREAT interact will be essential for both community members and investors.

Each token plays a specific role in building a fully functional, community-driven, decentralised environment. Whether it’s governance, transactions, exclusivity, or rewards, the SHIB ecosystem is becoming increasingly multifaceted, and this guide serves as a clear roadmap for navigating these complexities.
