The Dogecoin X account highlighted a common misconception about the dog coin in a recent X interaction.
Alex, MyDoge CTO, asked the question of who was building Dogecoin across market cycles. The post named the core Dogecoin team, the Dogecoin Foundation, House of Doge, MyDoge, and DogeOS, along with "hundreds of ecosystem projects" as those who continue to build Dogecoin across various market cycles.
'But Dogecoin has no developers?' The official Dogecoin X account responded, seeking to debunk a common misconception about the dog-themed cryptocurrency.
Previously, there was a misconception that Dogecoin did not have developers, which was clarified on the official Dogecoin website. Dogecoin has had developers from its inception, according to the Dogecoin website.
History of Dogecoin Development
Billy Markus, co-creator of Dogecoin along with Jackson Palmer, served as the solo developer for the first Dogecoin Core releases. In 2014, when both co-founders left Dogecoin development, a new development team was formed. Over the years, the Dogecoin development team has consisted of a small group of maintainers coordinating the work of several contributors.
In 2015, beginning with Dogecoin Core 1.10.0, the Dogecoin development team decided to re-fork Dogecoin off Bitcoin, reapplying Litecoin changes on top of the Bitcoin codebase. Thus, throughout its history, Dogecoin inherited already feature-complete codebases and has shared a good part of its identity with Bitcoin.
In the future, additional efforts and resources will be directed toward improving Dogecoin so that it can achieve its goal of being a people's currency. This will require a combination of part-time contributions, volunteers, and developers and engineers.
In recent developments, the Such App, which launched in beta in May, has received a new update. Beta users can now generate and share their unique invite code for the Such Beta.
In June, House of Doge partnered with MoonPay to bring native Dogecoin deposits to more than 6,000 merchants worldwide, powered by MoonPay Commerce.
