For months, the $TREAT token has been the subject of growing speculation, capturing the attention not only of Shiba Inu holders but also of those outside the ecosystem eager to participate in its potential. Now, a key feature of this highly anticipated token appears to have been unveiled by none other than the CEO of ZAMA.
A Major Breakthrough in Blockchain Privacy
Hindi, CEO of ZAMA, took to Twitter to describe TREAT as “the biggest secret FHE protects,” referencing Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), a cutting-edge technology ZAMA is integrating into its operations. The tweet, which came after the introduction of ZAMA’s new fhEVM coprocessor, sparked widespread discussion.
The fhEVM coprocessor enables confidential smart contracts on Ethereum and other EVM-compatible chains without altering their underlying protocols. Hindi elaborated on the coprocessor’s capabilities, emphasizing encrypted transactions, seamless composability of smart contracts, and programmable privacy. These advancements aim to resolve the longstanding trade-off between verifiability and confidentiality on public blockchains.
Kaal Dhairya, the tech wizard behind the Shiba Inu crypto project, highlighted the partnership between the two projects, stating, “My protocol team is working closely with zama_fhe’s incredibly talented team to bring this groundbreaking vision straight to the Shib Army and Shibarium.”

What Could TREAT Bring to the Table?
Although specifics about TREAT’s functionality remain under wraps, the connection to ZAMA’s FHE technology hints at its potential utility in advancing privacy within the Shiba Inu ecosystem. FHE’s ability to execute computations on encrypted data while maintaining its confidentiality could position TREAT as a pivotal component for secure and private transactions on Shibarium.
Shytoshi Kusama, the lead developer of Shiba Inu, retweeted ZAMA’s announcement, signaling the token’s importance within the ecosystem. While Kusama refrained from providing direct commentary, the retweet alone was enough to heighten anticipation.
The Role of TREAT in Shiba Inu’s Evolution
Earlier this year, in April, Shiba Inu announced that it had raised $12 million in a strategic venture capital round for its upcoming FHE-powered blockchain, with $TREAT at its core. As the final unreleased token in Shiba Inu’s ecosystem, TREAT is set to unlock the new blockchain, which leverages ZAMA.ai’s FHE technology. This innovative chain aims to tackle critical issues in the crypto space, such as privacy and trust, catering to Shiba Inu’s expansive global community of tens of millions and potentially engaging the next billion crypto-curious individuals.
