Dubai, UAE, May 6th, 2025, Chainwire

DogeOS, the application layer for the Dogecoin ecosystem, today announced the successful completion of a $6.9 million funding round led by Polychain Capital. This investment will fuel the expansion of DogeOS, an application layer built on Dogecoin, enabling developers to create a wide range of consumer applications—from gaming to artificial intelligence—while strengthening the Dogecoin network and furthering its adoption as a people's currency. With over 10 million holders, the Dogecoin community now gains access to a highly user-friendly application layer.

The $6.9 million will be used to launch the DogeOS platform, expand developer tools, and foster strategic partnerships to drive adoption. Key initiatives include launching X-native applications and integrations to support next-generation AI and DeFi technologies. DogeOS aims to transform Dogecoin from a meme coin into a fun, inclusive, and powerful digital economy.

DogeOS is the first platform to unlock native DOGE yield and DeFi opportunities, allowing users to earn rewards and participate in decentralized finance directly with their Dogecoin. Previously limited to trading and tipping, Dogecoin holders now have access to a vibrant platform for games, apps, and innovative DeFi strategies, all built on Dogecoin's blockchain. This app layer transforms DOGE into a dynamic asset, providing seamless access to yield farming, stablecoin integration, and other advanced financial tools.

“Dogecoin has always been about community and culture – DogeOS bridges the gap between Dogecoin’s vast consumer community and genuine 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 witnessed firsthand the community’s desire for native Dogecoin experiences. DogeOS fulfills this demand – unlocking new use cases, fostering creativity, and building a future where DOGE is integral to everything.”

Polychain Capital, a leading investor in blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies, recognized DogeOS's transformative potential to reshape community engagement with Dogecoin. “DogeOS is a game-changer for the Dogecoin ecosystem,” said Luke Pearson, Partner at Polychain Capital. “Its ability to support diverse applications, from gaming to AI, positions it as a crucial layer for the future of decentralized innovation. We are thrilled to support DogeOS in building a truly community-owned network.”
