Shiba Inu urges users to avoid fake SOU NFT airdrop links
Shiba Inu warns of fake SOU NFT airdrop scams targeting Shibarium victims after fraud sites surfaced online. The alert follows rising reports of cloned portals that mimic the official claim page. Shiba Inu urges users to verify links and access the SOU NFT only through the official website.
Scam Alerts Surround SOU NFT Claims
Shiba Inu introduced the SOU NFT to compensate users affected by the 2025 Shibarium exploit. However, fraud groups quickly launched fake websites that copied the legitimate claim interface. These sites spread across social media channels and targeted past exploit victims.
Susbarium reported that scammers promoted shortened and cloned links to mislead users. These links redirected victims to dashboards that requested wallet connections. As a result, attackers attempted to capture wallet credentials and unauthorized approvals.
Shiba Inu confirmed that the SOU NFT will not arrive through any airdrop campaign. Instead, eligible users must visit the official Shib.io portal and complete the claim process. The team advised users to type the domain manually and avoid shared links.
Official Claim Process and Verification Rules
The team structured the SOU NFT claim system to verify affected wallets directly on-chain. Users must open the official portal and select the designated claim option. The system then checks eligibility tied to the 2025 exploit records.
Once verified, the portal displays the compensation amount linked to each wallet. The SOU NFT represents that value and reflects it transparently on-chain. Users can later transfer or trade the NFT on supported marketplaces.
Shiba Inu reiterated that no automatic distribution will occur. Therefore, users must follow official guidance and rely on verified updates. The team also warned that no staff member will request private keys or seed phrases.
Compensation Plan and Ongoing Monitoring
Shiba Inu designed the SOU NFT initiative as part of a broader recovery plan. The compensation program addresses losses from the 2025 Shibarium exploit. The team structured repayments in phases to manage verification and distribution efficiently.
Funding for compensation will come from ecosystem revenue streams and internal reserves. The team stated that licensing income and other allocations will support the process. Each stage will follow internal review before release.
Claim activity has increased as more wallets complete verification. The portal updates eligibility data automatically based on blockchain records. Shiba Inu confirmed that it will continue monitoring threats and publish updates through official channels.
