TREE NEWS update: The MyDoge team has opened the public testnet of DogeOS, a zero-knowledge rollup that gives Dogecoin an EVM application layer for DeFi and games, with DOGE used to pay fees. The rollup currently relies on a permissioned sequencer, pending a proposed Dogecoin upgrade that remains unimplemented.
Dogecoin EVM Layer DogeOS Opens Public Testnet for DeFi and Games
The pitch is a familiar one: give a memecoin with a large holder base an application layer, and let its native asset double as gas. What matters is that DogeOS is a rollup settling to Dogecoin rather than a standalone chain, which makes its usefulness contingent on Dogecoin's own roadmap rather than on the team's execution alone. The permissioned sequencer is the tension worth watching — it delivers a working testnet now, but the decentralization claim stays deferred until the proposed upgrade lands, and that upgrade remains unimplemented.
