Dogecoin Expands with Zero-Knowledge Rollup Network Powered by Native Token

DogeOS has launched its public testnet, Chikyū, to expand the Dogecoin ecosystem beyond payments and transfers. The system is designed as a zero-knowledge rollup network compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine.

This allows for decentralized exchanges, lending protocols, stablecoin applications, prediction markets, and blockchain games to be developed on DogeOS. DOGE will be used as the network's native transaction fee asset.

Developers working with Ethereum tools can connect their existing software to the DogeOS testnet and test their Solidity-based smart contracts. The launch of the test network doesn't directly change Dogecoin's base network, but instead runs on a separate layer tied to Dogecoin.
