Shiba Inu’s lead ambassador has unveiled a new AI-powered relationship platform, while the project is also moving to protect users following a past security breach. The update links innovation with risk awareness across the SHIB ecosystem. Team members say the tool may expand into Web3 use cases over time. At the same time, developers warn users about rising phishing threats tied to a newly launched NFT initiative. AI Relationship Platform Eyes Web3 Integration During a Feb. 18 livestream, Shytoshi Kusama revealed plans for an AI-powered relationship platform focused on translation and compatibility. He described it as a personal initiative separate from his Shiba Inu leadership role. The platform aims to help couples detect patterns, friction points, and long-term compatibility risks before conflicts escalate. However, the Shiba Inu team sees broader Web3 potential. Lucie, a Shiba Inu team member, outlined five possible use cases connected to the SHIB ecosystem. She said the first could function as a DAO compatibility tool. The AI system could match co-founders, multisig partners, validators, or DAO teams to reduce internal conflict early. Lucie also explained that the platform may introduce a token-gated premium layer. This layer would unlock deeper AI insights using ecosystem tokens. She noted that this model could drive utility-based engagement across the community. In addition, she described a reputation and social signal system. The feature would link compatibility and communication insights to optional on-chain identity. According to Lucie, this could strengthen coordination within decentralized teams. She further suggested the tool could operate as an NFT or badge layer on Solana. The low-fee infrastructure could host collaboration or relationship milestone badges as social proof. Finally, she said the AI translator layer could serve as a mediator in governance discussions or advanced user support systems within ecosystem apps. Shiba Inu Issues Scam Warning Over SOU NFT Meanwhile, Shiba Inu has launched the SOU NFT as part of recovery efforts tied to the Shibarium hack last September. SOU, short for “Shib owes you,” exists as an on-chain NFT. The team describes it as a good-faith initiative to support impacted Shibarium users through payouts, donations, and occasional rewards. As the Shiba Inu SOU rollout continues, Lucie has issued a crucial scam warning. She stated on social media that scammers already operate fake SOU portals. She warned that phishing links now mirror official websites to drain user wallets. Lucie urged users to verify contract addresses and use hardware wallets. She advised the community to bookmark the official portal. She added that users should trust their instincts if something appears suspicious.
