The Dogecoin Foundation director stated that while tools have been developed for holders in this regard, the time has now come for tools to be created for merchants to raise Dogecoin's utility to the next level.

Stebbing noted that "houseofdoge," the official corporate arm of the Dogecoin Foundation, is building merchant solutions, starting from the grassroots first and building up the chain to enterprise. The aim of this is to move the needle on acceptance, bringing the next billion people into the ecosystem.

In a separate tweet, Stebbing criticized the notion portrayed by some members of the crypto community of "Dogecoin being a joke," noting that this reflects the need to build tools for the community to mobilize the next generation of merchants and hustlers to do business better, faster, stronger on the Dogecoin layer 1.
