Dogecoin Labs has officially launched with backing from the Dogecoin Foundation, consolidating three existing products into a unified payments and application infrastructure. Jordan Jefferson, founder of DogeOS, leads the venture as CEO. The entity brings together MyDoge wallet (which has over 500,000 users), the DogeOS application platform, and Such App, a payment product supporting merchant invoicing and offline QR payments, with the stated aim of expanding Dogecoin adoption across payments, commerce, decentralized finance, and gaming.
DogeOS activated an EVM-compatible public testnet on September 30, enabling smart contract development on the Dogecoin layer. The Labs operates as an independent entity while the Dogecoin Foundation maintains separate responsibility for ecosystem governance and open-source protocol development. Read more.
