Dogecoin foundations launches roadmap for the first time in 8 years


A roadmap has been published by the original meme coin for the first time in its eight-year history. The roadmap was released, outlining eight new projects. Dogecoin.com will undergo a major redesign with GigaWallet, a payment solution API to be released soon.
In 2021, it
would seem odd not to have a roadmap for any major cryptocurrency project.
Almost a decade later, DOGE is the 12th biggest cryptocurrency, and the project
has finally released a roadmap.
DOGE was
launched as a 'joke' in 2013, and not even its founders could have predicted
this meme coin's popularity.
To capture
feedback and what the community wants from the project, the foundation signed
the Dogecoin Manifesto in August, explaining the intention of the project.
There are
some notable board members and advisers on the Dogecoin Foundation, including
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin.
As part of
this open-source project, the foundation says it is partnering with "some
influential friends" and a group of people who are planning on
contributing to these projects.
Shibetoshi
Nakamoto, the creator of meme coin, stated that the meme coin will always be a
community-based cryptocurrency, whose developers will maintain it instead of
taking decisions for it.
He adds,
"Dogecoin belongs to y’all. Don’t treat it like a company with
stockholders. You can contribute!”
The first
step as per the announcement is to completely redesign Dogecoin.com. Moreover,
the roadmap includes eight new projects that will help advance Dogecoin's
adoption. In the roadmap, the dogecoin foundation argues that utility is
paramount since it leads to adoption. The more utility there is, the more Dogecoin
there will be. Some of those projects include Libdogecoin and GigaWallet.
Libdogecoin
implements Dogecoin Protocols, so anyone can create a product that is Dogecoin
compliant. The GigaWallet will allow developers to integrate DOGE payments into
their apps via API.
Tesla CEO
Elon Musk's involvement in the DOGE token tribe and his tweets have contributed
to Dogecoin's popularity.
