A Dogecoin development group is looking to update the memecoin protocol to bridge to Ethereum in a new proposal, according to an announcement on Tuesday.
DogeOS, an app layer for Dogecoin built by the team behind the MyDoge wallet, submitted a protocol upgrade proposal to Dogecoin Core that would introduce native zero-knowledge proof verification capabilities.
“The OP_CHECKZKP proposal marks a major technical step forward for Dogecoin, expanding the proof-of-work blockchain from a basic payment system into a platform capable of supporting DeFi, gaming, identity, and other verifiable on-chain applications,” the team wrote.
According to the announcement, DogeOS is developing its bespoke zero-knowledge-powered mechanism for Dogecoin to enable trustless interoperability with Ethereum, the largest smart contract blockchain.
Enabling zk-rollups will allow Dogecoin to support thousands of off-chain transactions per second, verified onchain through compact cryptographic proofs, according to the announcement.
“Dogecoin gaining the ability to integrate with ZK L2s is the kind of interoperability we need to build ecosystem utility, allowing the L1 to focus on being the fastest, best, most fun blockchain and means of exchange for all humanity,” stated Tim Stebbing, director of the Dogecoin Foundation.
DOGE is trading at $0.26, down about 4% on the day. It hit a high of $0.71 in May 2012, according to The Block’s price page. On Monday, penny stock firm Bit Origin bought its first tranche of DOGE after it secured up to $500 million in equity and debt to launch a corporate Dogecoin treasury.
