The post ‘Shib Owes You’: Shiba Inu Team Member Explains Shibarium Recovery Framework appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

In a year-end letter, Shiba Inu developer Kaal Dhairya spoke about a recovery plan for Shibarium users following the hack incident in September. Dhairya mentioned “SOU,” which means “Shib Owes You,” a system that intends to make affected Shibarium users whole. In this system, every affected user has an SOU NFT, which is an on-chain, verifiable record of exactly what the Shiba Inu ecosystem owes them.
