DogeOS, a new application layer built for the Dogecoin blockchain, has closed a $6.9 million funding round led by Polychain Capital. The funding is set to accelerate the development of consumer-facing applications and expand Dogecoin’s presence in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space.
Designed as a software layer akin to an operating system, DogeOS provides tools for developers to build a wide array of apps — from gaming and social tools to AI-powered platforms — all integrated natively with Dogecoin (DOGE).
The initiative aims to strengthen the foundation of the Dogecoin ecosystem by boosting real-world utility and developer engagement. As demand for DOGE grows, so too does the potential for more meaningful use cases beyond the memecoin status.
“Dogecoin has always been rooted in community and culture,” said Jordan Jefferson, CEO of MyDoge, the company leading the DogeOS initiative. “With DogeOS, we’re connecting Dogecoin’s passionate user base with real on-chain innovation.”
Jefferson added that more than 500,000 users already rely on the MyDoge wallet, underscoring the appetite for native Dogecoin applications. “DogeOS unlocks new possibilities — more creativity, more utility, and a future where DOGE is embedded into everyday experiences,” he said.
