Dogechain Brings More Utility for Dogecoin (DOGE)
Despite being the unofficial blockchain platform for Dogecoin (DOGE), it’s built ‘for holders, by holders’. Hence, after the bridging is done, a user receives Wrapped Dogecoin ($WDoge), which can be used in various DeFi apps, NFT platforms, and blockchain games. Moreover, Dogechain’s developers promised an airdrop to every user that decides to bridge to the new chain. In addition, Dogecoin (DOGE) is not the only memecoin with a brand new layer-2 solution. Rival canine coin Shiba Inu (SHIB) is also preparing to drop Shibarium, a layer-2 solution for the prospering dog-themed token, originally known as “DogeCoin Killer”.
Does Dogecoin (DOGE) Resemble Bitcoin’s (BTC) 2019 Rally?
According to a crypto analyst going by the name of ‘Smart Contractor’, there are a lot of similarities between Dogecoin’s (DOGE) recent price movement and the big breakout of 2019. During the time, the flagship crypto asset went to around $50,000. As for Dogecoin (DOGE), the crypto analyst sees a potential run to the zone of $0.50. As indicated by the Fibonacci retracement tool, the support and resistance levels could ignite a ~500% run for the dog-themed token.
