New Initiative Seeks to Improve Dogecoin by Integrating Web3 Features Similar to Ethereum and Solana
On Friday, the Bitcoin scaling protocol QED introduced a significant upgrade proposal for Dogecoin. This modification has the potential to convert the memecoin network into a high-speed platform capable of supporting intricate decentralized applications, akin to Ethereum or Solana.
The protocol, which recently secured $6 million in funding, seeks to accomplish this by enhancing the network’s capacity and incorporating smart contract capabilities. QED is also working on a zero-knowledge (ZK) rollup, which may improve Dogecoin’s transaction speed and overall capacity.
“A remarkable feature of Dogecoin is the global recognition it has achieved, which is now reflected in a large community of committed holders – along with the popular memes and dogs,” Feldman stated.
“With the addition of this opcode and the ongoing efforts of the exceptional Dogecoin core developers, the Dogecoin Network will effectively become the first Proof of Work secured chain that matches the features of blockchains like Ethereum while offering the scalability of Solana. Dogecoin is on the verge of transformation.”
QED is partnering with prominent Dogecoin mining pools, such as AntPool, ViaBTC, and F2Pool, to execute the proposed enhancements. The founder, Carter Feldman, expressed that the ultimate aim is to “make Doge STRONK!”
Dogecoin to Pursue Ethereum Competitor Status with New Upgrade
The executive pointed out that despite Dogecoin’s extensive fan base, its existing constraints have hindered the creation of valuable new applications. Nevertheless, the forthcoming ZKP integration holds the promise of altering this landscape through practical applications for Dogecoin users.

“The establishment of an application layer signifies that the populist movement for user-centricity can be advanced further,” he conveyed to Cryptonews.
“Dogecoin, equipped with a trustless application layer, suddenly emerges as a viable alternative to the Proof of Stake chains that currently dominate applications, providing a compelling combination of robust Proof of Work security and the most positive community atmosphere in the industry. Regarding price fluctuations, we firmly believe that unlocking such latent potential will lead to a substantial increase in demand for the world’s favorite memecoin.”
Dogecoin Could Serve as a Launchpad for Next-Generation Crypto Projects
Moreover, Feldman is optimistic that the integration of ZKP technology will elevate Dogecoin’s brand recognition to a level comparable to Bitcoin. He also expects that Dogecoin’s transaction capacity will significantly expand, allowing it to handle payments at a scale similar to credit card networks.
He mentioned that one of the most exciting outcomes anticipated from the QED protocol is the establishment of the first fully on-chain decentralized exchange (DEX) for trading Doge. “You will undoubtedly encounter the standard DeFi offerings – staking, collateralized stablecoins, and lending protocols for additional yield,” he remarked. “However, perhaps more intriguing will be the new applications that leverage Doge’s unique position as the world’s most popular memecoin.”
“Doge will be the launchpad for the monetized memes of the future, and we foresee Dogecoin becoming the foundation for the next wave of memecoins and NFTs,” he concluded.
