- Dogecoin Labs is an independent organization led by Jordan Jefferson in partnership with the Dogecoin Foundation.
- It aims to extend DOGE beyond trading and tipping into payments, commerce, DeFi, gaming, AI and social platforms.
- The September 30 public DogeOS testnet provides developers with an EVM-compatible environment; MyDoge V3 connects more than 500,000 users.
- Such App is intended to bring DOGE invoicing, online transactions and QR-code payments to Dogecoin Labs.
No other digital asset has Dogecoin’s combination of liquidity, community and cultural reach, and its potential has barely been tapped,— Jordan Jefferson, founder of MyDoge and DogeOS, said in relation to Dogecoin Labs.
