DogeOS has completed development and audits for its first version and is close to a mainnet launch, founder and CEO Jordan Jefferson said. He did not give a launch date.
The project is building an Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible app layer for Dogecoin, intended to let developers create apps and DeFi features for DOGE holders.
Why it matters
Jefferson said Dogecoin users have largely been limited to buying, holding, sending and tipping the asset. He pointed to games and ways to earn DOGE as potential uses, and said DeFi infrastructure is needed to make Dogecoin useful as money for more people.
More than 100 builders have been working on projects, Jefferson said. The DogeOS team is also supporting developers and working on integrations with wallets, exchanges and other protocols.
Market impact
A launch would give DOGE holders access to an app layer intended to broaden the asset's utility. The timing remains open: Jefferson described mainnet as “very, very close” but did not specify a date.
The push follows the launch last month of Dogecoin Labs, which brought together developers and products from DogeOS, the Dogecoin Foundation and House of Doge.
