DogeOS Unleashes Public Testnet for Ethereum-Style Apps on Dogecoin

DogeOS, the application layer for Dogecoin, has opened its public testnet. This allows developers to build Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible applications on top of the Dogecoin network.

The testnet is compatible with tooling from other EVM chains, making it easier for experienced teams to transition to Dogecoin. This could bring new types of applications, such as trading and lending protocols, to the network.

The launch follows a $6.9 million funding round in May 2025, which aims to expand Dogecoin beyond its current use cases. The project's founders believe that Dogecoin's large user base and global recognition can attract developers looking for new opportunities.
