TREE NEWS update: DogeOS launched a public testnet for its zero-knowledge rollup that brings EVM smart contracts to Dogecoin, with DOGE used to pay gas fees. The testnet marks the first public release of the project’s ZK-based scaling layer for the Dogecoin network.
DogeOS Launches Public Testnet Bringing EVM Smart Contracts to Dogecoin
The pitch rests on turning a payments-first chain into an execution venue, with DOGE doubling as the gas asset — a design choice that ties the rollup's economics to the base chain's existing holder base rather than a new token. That matters most for builders who want Dogecoin's liquidity and branding without leaving EVM tooling behind. The open question is whether a testnet draws real development activity or just curiosity, since a ZK layer's value depends on sustained usage rather than a launch.
