The post What Is Shiba Inu’s ‘Shib Owes You’ Plan for Hack Victims? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Shiba Inu is finally putting structure around one of the most difficult chapters in its history.
Months after the Plasma Bridge hack shook the ecosystem, the project has introduced a formal recovery plan aimed at addressing unresolved user losses. The initiative, called “Shib Owes You” (SOU), turns what was once an open-ended promise into a verifiable, on-chain process.
A Direct Message to the Shib Army
The update came from OG Shiba Inu developer Kaal Dhairya, who acknowledged the strain the past year has placed on the community.
“This year, especially the last few months, has been the hardest period in Shiba Inu’s history,” he wrote, pointing to the hack and the exit of key figures who “left, without accountability.”
Dharyia also pushed back against claims that no legal action was taken. “I have personally been interviewed by not one, not two, but three federal agents,” he said, confirming that information related to the incident has already been shared with authorities.
What Is ‘Shib Owes You’?
SOU is a tokenized debt framework built on Ethereum. Under the system, affected users receive dynamic NFTs that represent the exact amount still owed to them.
“This isn’t a promise in a database somewhere,” Dhairya wrote. “It’s cryptographic proof that you own a claim, recorded permanently on the Ethereum blockchain.”
Each NFT updates as repayments or donations occur, reducing the outstanding balance in real time. The tokens can also be sold, merged, or split, giving users flexibility if they don’t want to wait for full repayment.
How Repayments Will Be Funded
To support SOU, Shiba Inu is tightening its operations. Dhairya said projects that fail to generate revenue will be paused or shut down, with ecosystem income redirected toward compensating affected users.
“If we’re going to ask the community to be patient while we rebuild, then everyone who has access to ecosystem resources needs to be held to the same standard,” he said.
Future licensing of the Shiba Inu brand will also prioritize funds flowing back into the repayment system.
Infrastructure Is Back, But Caution Is Key
The Plasma Bridge has been restored with added safeguards, critical contracts have moved to hardware custody, and the SOU system has been audited by Hexens.
Still, Dhairya warned that the SOU platform is not live yet and urged users to avoid third-party sites claiming early access.
For now, Shiba Inu is signaling a shift toward repair, accountability, and long-term trust rebuilding.
