Dogecoin wallet MyDoge has made a key announcement regarding Doginals and DRC-20 support on the platform in a recent X post. Doginals are digital items inscribed on the Dogecoin blockchain, acting as the Dogecoin version of Bitcoin Ordinals-style inscriptions.
The notice follows Maestro, the third-party infrastructure provider used by MyDoge for Doginals and DRC-20 support, announcing the shutdown of its Dogecoin API services, which will occur on September 18, 2026. As a result, MyDoge stated it will suspend support for Doginals and DRC-20 assets on September 17, 2026.
Noting the recent development as an 'unexpected and inconvenient change' for asset holders, MyDoge stated a clear goal to provide users with clear guidance well before support ends.
In particular, holders of Doginals or DRC-20 assets in MyDoge are urged to migrate those specific assets before September 17, 2026.
Regular DOGE unaffected
The Dogecoin wallet noted that this advisory does not concern DOGE, as users do not need to move their DOGE or other supported assets out of MyDoge. This change applies only to Doginals and DRC-20s. DOGE support and standard Dogecoin transactions will continue as normal, with significant new MyDoge features and updates planned.
It should, however, be borne in mind that MyDoge wallet dropping Doginals/DRC-20 support does not delete them onchain.
MyDoge noted this in its X post, saying that affected Doginals and DRC-20 assets remain associated with user addresses onchain, but after September 17, MyDoge will no longer have the infrastructure required to display or send them. Hence, affected users should move their assets to compatible wallets before the deadline, as they may not be able to access or recover them through MyDoge after support ends on September 17.
Migration safety tips shared
With just 16 days left before the September 17 deadline, MyDoge shared safety tips on asset migration.
Affected users are urged to use official links, verify support for their specific assets, and consider sending a small test transaction before transferring the full balance.
They should also be especially cautious of unsolicited messages, links, accounts offering migration assistance, or anyone asking for their seed phrase or private keys, as MyDoge will never ask for such personal details.
MyDoge stated it is reviewing possible paths for supporting Doginals and DRC-20s again in the future, but currently there is no confirmed replacement or timeline, with users urged to treat September 17 as the deadline and migrate affected assets before then.
