Dogechain is an EVM-compatible blockchain built to create an efficient link between the meme token Dogecoin and the new evolution of the internet, Web3. Developers on Ethereum and EVM blockchains can maximize the EVM-compatible features of Dogechain to deploy new or existing applications without a change in the primary code or having to use a new programming language. Dogechain runs a Proof of Stake (PoS) algorithm, offering scalable, fast, and cost-efficient blockchain to the crypto community and DOGE holders. It is a network designed exclusively to explore other use cases for DOGE other than the existing applications while maintaining the core features of the DOGE community.
Dogechain was launched in August 2022 and developed using Polygon SDK. The design system of the Dogechain is set up so that DOGE holders can port their DOGE into another blockchain and access more possibilities and opportunities using their DOGE. DOGE is at the core of the Dogechain economic system and offers a platform for building decentralized applications like DeFi, GameFi, NFT platforms, and other innovative products in that category.
Dogechain has a semblance with the DOGE theme (dog and witty atmosphere) and aims to maintain the bar on DOGE’s community. Through the Dogechain token airdrop to DOGE holders, Dogechain will offer a minimal entry barrier and keep up with being fun and generous, giving community engagement to the early adopters.
Two Tokens on Dogechain
Dogechain has two tokens, the wrapped DOGE (WDOGE) and Dogechain (DC). Dogechain (DC) is the second currency of the Dogechain ecosystem that will serve as a utility for incentives; all staking and governance incentives on the platform will be in Dogechain (DC). Wrapped DOGE (WDOGE) is used for gas on the chain.
Where to Buy Dogechain
Dogechain can be bought on the official Dogechain website by connecting Metamask or Clover wallet and on exchanges that have listed the Dogechain token (WDOGE and DC) for trading. The wallets supporting the Dogechain network currently are only MetaMask and Clover wallets. Metamask is an Ethereum-based wallet that allows for the sending and receiving of cryptocurrencies and NFTs across two blockchains. Clover is a DeFi marketplace that provides a cross-chain DeFi bridge and a port into the DeFi space. Intending users can visit the Dogechain bridge and automatically add Dogechain to their MetaMask Chrome extension or Clover.
