Summary
DogeOS launched its public testnet on October 1, 2026, marking a key network upgrade for the Dogecoin ecosystem. The testnet supports DeFi, perpetual contracts, stablecoins, and prediction markets, with fees paid in DOGE. Built by the MyDoge wallet team using zkVM, DogeOS operates as a separate Layer without altering Dogecoin’s base layer. Developers can now test applications ahead of mainnet launch. A DeFi exploit during early testing led to rapid fixes and enhanced security. The mainnet launch date remains unannounced.
