In software terms, a layer is an operating system-like collection of software. DogeOS is specific to the Dogecoin blockchain.
A bump in demand helps strengthen the fundamentals of memecoin DOGE, allowing the creation of applications and other decentralized finance (DeFi) services that bolster DOGE.
“Dogecoin has always been about community and culture – DogeOS is bridging the gap between Dogecoin’s massive consumer community and real on-chain innovation” said Jordan Jefferson, CEO of MyDoge, the team behind DogeOS.
“With over half a million users trusting MyDoge as their preferred wallet, we’ve seen firsthand the community’s demand for native Dogecoin experiences. DogeOS delivers on that demand – unlocking new use cases, more creativity, and a future where DOGE is built into everything," Jefferson added.

BofA survey flags dollar bearish bets at over a decade high. Here's what it means for bitcoin
BofA's February survey shows investor positioning in the U.S. dollar has fallen to its most negative level since at least early 2012.
What to know:
- Investors are more bearish on the U.S. dollar than ever, a positioning that has historically been a bullish tailwind for bitcoin because a weaker dollar tends to support risk assets.
- Since early 2025, bitcoin has developed an unusually positive correlation with the dollar, with their 90-day correlation reaching 0.60 even as both the dollar index and BTC have fallen.
- If this new link holds, a further dollar slide could hurt bitcoin, while a sharp dollar short squeeze and rebound could instead lift BTC.
