Shiba Inu has introduced a new on-chain NFT system called “Shib Owes You” (SOU) to support users impacted by the Shibarium hack. SOU serves as an on-chain record for affected users, verifying claims related to payouts, donations, and rewards. This initiative aims to make users whole after the Shibarium network disruption.

Shiba Inu Introduces SOU System

Shiba Inu has revealed the “Shib Owes You” (SOU) system, designed to compensate Shibarium users who were affected by a recent hack. The system uses on-chain NFTs to track the value owed to each user. According to Shiba Inu developer Kaal Dhairya, the SOU NFTs will serve as cryptographic proof of these claims on the Ethereum blockchain.

The SOU mechanism records every transaction related to payouts and donations. When payouts occur, the amount owed to the user decreases. The total value of each SOU tracks the principal amount owed, updating in real time as payments are made.
