DogeOS Opens Public Testnet to Bring an EVM App Layer to Dogecoin

DogeOS, an application layer for Dogecoin built by the team behind the MyDoge wallet, opened its public testnet on Wednesday, giving developers an EVM-compatible environment to build apps using DOGE. The network is designed as a zero-knowledge rollup that settles its state to Dogecoin, with DOGE used for transaction fees. That setup lets developers already working across Ethereum and other EVM chains use familiar tooling while targeting the Dogecoin ecosystem. The project also named several teams building on the testnet, spanning DeFi and games. Those include Barkswap for liquidity, Superposition Finance for lending, Derps for perpetual futures, Split Markets for options, and USDoge, described as a CDP stablecoin. DogeOS also referenced launchpads, a prediction market aggregator, and several games, though it said availability will depend on each team’s schedule. There is still no mainnet date. Founder and CEO Jordan Jefferson told The Block that Dogecoin does not currently verify DogeOS zero-knowledge proofs directly. For now, the bridge relies on valid proofs, signatures from a majority of DogeOS validators, and a trusted execution environment signer, while the network uses a permissioned sequencer.

Blueprint Finance, a developer of institutional onchain financial infrastructure, has announced a strategic financing round led by Polychain Capital. Other participants included Bullish, Keyrock, BitGo, FalconX, G-20, Flowdesk, JPEG Trading, Sentient Capital, Andes and 2Square. The company is the core developer behind Concrete, a full-stack vault infrastructure designed for institutions, protocols and asset managers. According to the announcement, Concrete is built to help users launch, manage and allocate capital through complex onchain strategies. It brings execution, accounting, risk management, rebalancing and protocol integrations into a single vault system. Blueprint Finance said the new capital will be used to keep expanding Concrete and to deepen partnerships with protocols, asset issuers, networks and institutional allocators. The company said it aims to build vaults that can support onchain yield products while also serving as core liquidity infrastructure. Beyond vault infrastructure, Blueprint Finance is also expanding the Concrete ecosystem with onchain financial primitives including AssetCX and concUSD. CEO and co-founder Nic Roberts-Huntley said DeFi is moving beyond a phase focused on chasing the highest marketed yields, with the next stage centered on infrastructure, control, transparency, automation and risk management for professional allocators.
