Dogecoin Could Get a Massive Network Upgrade—Here's How
Developers have proposed a network upgrade for Dogecoin, named OP_CHECKZKP, which aims to enhance scalability, decentralization, and security by introducing zero-knowledge proofs and enabling zk-rollups. This upgrade could transform Dogecoin from a simple payment chain into a robust platform for apps, games, and DeFi protocols. Significant interest from hundreds of development teams has been noted, indicating potential growth in daily active addresses. The upgrade would enhance privacy capabilities and allow for the creation of layer-2 networks. Support for the proposal comes from both DogeOS and the Dogecoin Foundation. The upgrade process will involve technical reviews, community discussions, and testing before deployment on the testnet. Miners will then be signaled to process the soft fork upgrade.
