DOGE Joins Solana via Wormhole's Native Token Transfers
The internet's favorite canine-themed cryptocurrency, Dogecoin (DOGE), has finally arrived on Solana. Through Wormhole's Native Token Transfers framework and a new liquidity gateway called Sunrise, DOGE is now accessible on Solana natively, retaining its original properties without becoming a synthetic stand-in.
This integration, which went live on May 23, 2025, covers the complete circulating supply of DOGE, valued at roughly $35 billion. This makes it one of the largest single-asset cross-chain transfers in crypto history.
Wormhole's Native Token Transfers framework takes a different approach than traditional wrapping methods, which create a wrapped copy of the token and strip issuers of control over their asset's metadata and supply rules.
The Sunrise liquidity gateway, incubated by Wormhole Labs, assigns a unified mint address to each incoming asset, preventing fragmented liquidity pools and pricing chaos. This integration is the highest-profile deployment of the NTT framework to date, with Wormhole having facilitated over $11.5 billion in total inflows to Solana.
