DogeOS launches a public test network to bring an Ethereum-style decentralized application experience to Dogecoin.
DogeOS recently launched a public test network to allow Dogecoin holders to use Ethereum-like transactions, lending and other decentralized applications (dApps). The move seeks to broaden Dogecoin's application scenarios beyond its well-known payments and speculative trading roles.
New developments in the Dogecoin network
The launch of the testnet allows Dogecoin users and developers to experience new decentralized financial features that mimic the features available on Ethereum. By being compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), developers can now build applications on DogeOS. This provides a familiar environment for developers accustomed to using Ethereum development tools and standards.
Timothy Stebbing, director of the Dogecoin Foundation, described the move as an important milestone. In a recent social media post, he mentioned that the Doge/EVM chain is experiencing an "absolute avalanche" of new projects as more and more developers focus on building projects on top of Dogecoin infrastructure. Stebbing emphasized that new projects are injecting momentum into the ecosystem, and DogeOS is seen as an important step in expanding Dogecoin's capabilities.
DogeOS was developed by the team behind the popular Dogecoin wallet MyDoge. It positions itself as an application layer for Dogecoin, providing new tools to the community. By leveraging Ethereum compatibility, DogeOS invites developers to bring more complex decentralized applications to Dogecoin holders.
Dictionary of Terms: DogeOS, EVM and MyDoge
- DogeOS: A software layer designed to enable Ethereum-like applications for Dogecoin.
- EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine): Technology that allows blockchain systems to run smart contracts in a standardized environment promotes cross-platform compatibility.
- MyDoge: A wallet platform that provides DOGE's storage and transfer services.
Other interoperability initiatives
Meanwhile, blockchain company Metallicus launched DogecoinVM, a solution that connects Dogecoin to the Metal Blockchain network. As a DOGE-compatible ledger in the Metal Network, DogecoinVM significantly improves transaction speed and interoperability.
According to the announcement, Dogecoin transactions made using Dogecoin VM can be settled up to 300 times faster and provide instant finality, while the core Dogecoin chain remains unchanged. This enables wider use and potential adoption of DOGE in decentralized applications.

Dogecoin Price Trend and Market Background
Dogecoin has also attracted attention for its upcoming technical indicators-the potential "golden cross" pattern on the daily chart, where its 50-day and 200-day moving averages are about to meet. If this form forms, it will mark Dogecoin's first golden cross in 2026.
The last time a gold cross appeared in Dogecoin was a year ago in August 2025. After the signal appeared, Dogecoin climbed to $0.30 in September 2025. However, the price of Dogecoin has now fallen back to $0.093, reflecting broader cryptocurrency market sentiment.
Affected by the weaker than expected U.S. employment data in September, the broader market reaction was negative, prompting traders to reconsider the possibility of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates in October. Currently, market expectations for a rate hike in October have receded significantly, but investors are still closely watching the possibility of a rate hike in December. The Fed's next decision on U.S. interest rates will be announced after a two-day policy meeting ends on October 28.
