The Dogecoin Foundation Announces Strategic Goals for 2024
The Dogecoin Foundation, led by senior software engineer Ed Tubbs, has revealed its strategic goals for 2024 as part of its ongoing efforts to promote the development and use of the cryptocurrency. The foundation is known for its innovative projects such as GigaWallet, LibDogecoin, and RadioDoge, and aims to enhance these initiatives while introducing new ones to attract more users and strengthen Dogecoin’s technological foundation.
Libdogecoin 0.1.3 Release Marks a Milestone
A significant milestone for Dogecoin is the release of libdogecoin 0.1.3, which represents a year’s worth of work to improve and expand the core C library that underpins the cryptocurrency’s features. This latest version includes new features, some of which were driven by the community, such as Android support. The update provides developers with better tools to build applications based on Dogecoin, fostering further innovation within the ecosystem.
Expanding GigaWallet’s Reach and Functionality
GigaWallet, the foundation’s backend service for Dogecoin transactions, is set to receive major upgrades. The roadmap outlines plans to expand shopping cart integration to platforms like Shopify and improve APIs and storage standards. This upgrade aims to make it easier for online stores, social media platforms, and other services to integrate Dogecoin payments, increasing accessibility and usage in everyday transactions.
RadioDoge’s Innovative Approach to Connectivity
The foundation has also embraced RadioDoge, a project that aims to expand Dogecoin’s reach in areas with limited or no internet connectivity. By utilizing LoRa technology and the Starlink satellite network, RadioDoge provides an innovative solution to overcome connectivity challenges. Further development of the project in 2024 is expected to uncover more use cases and expand the network, enabling global access to Dogecoin transactions.
Community Development and Engagement
In addition to project-related developments, the Dogecoin Foundation aims to strengthen its projects and community development. This includes expanding the team, engaging with the community through platforms like Discord, and launching a new website and developer portal. These initiatives aim to foster a supportive community that encourages both new and existing developers to contribute to the growth of Dogecoin.
