DogeP Description

Mainnet

Mainnet cut-off block announcement has been made. Barring exceptional circumstances, only those who have DogeP ERC20 tokens in their personal wallets on July 1st 2023, 12 AM UTC will be able to get coins in the quantum resistant blockchain.

What Is Doge Protocol?

Doge Protocol is an upcoming platform consisting of decentralized networks, smart contracts and apps. The primary component of this platform will be a quantum-resistant blockchain that supports smart contracts, satellite chains & tokens. In order to secure Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin from quantum computer threats (Y2Q problem), Doge Protocol will multi-fork these blockchains along with the DogeP tokens, to create one large quantum resistant blockchain. Doge Protocol is a community driven initiative.

What is the vision of Doge Protocol?

Please check the Vision Paper for details on the aspirations & vision of Doge Protocol.

  • Protect Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin from Quantum Computer threats (Y2Q problem).

  • Create a platform for decentralized apps that provides a solution for real world problems.

  • Ability to add satellite chains that provide solutions for specific use-cases such as streaming.

  • Community driven development.

What is the technology behind the Doge Protocol Platform?

Since its inception in 2021, the Doge Protocol community has released several whitepapers detailing the technology behind Doge Protocol. More whitepapers will be published as the platform keeps evolving.

What are the achievements of Doge Protocol?

Since its inception in 2021, Doge Protocol community has delivered the following items:

  • 3 Testnets have been released so far, the latest being T2. This testnet blockchain is quantum resistant, supports smart contracts & tokens and is EVM compatible (Ethereum Virtual Machine). More details on testnet is in this link.

  • Documentation Portal has been launched with extensive information.

  • Block Explorer for testnet has been launched.

  • Blockchain Node Clients for Linux, Windows have been released, for testnet blockchains.
  • Several whitepapers as detailed above.

What is in the roadmap for Doge Protocol Platform?

More details are in the roadmap section.

  • Switch to Proof-of-Stake consensus in testnet
  • Browser Extension
  • Mobile Apps
  • SDKs
  • Mainnet (Phase 1)
  • Subsequent mainnet phases for multi-fork of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin
  • Satellite Chains

When was Doge Protocol launched?

The Doge Protocol initiative started in May 2021. Subsequently, the DogeP ERC20 tokens were released in Sep 2021 after prior announcements starting Aug 2021.

What is DogeP Token?

Doge Protocol coins and tokens will be utility tokens in the Doge Protocol Platform, used for:

  • Fees for processing transactions and storing data.
  • Running validator nodes on the network via staking tokens.
  • Used for governance votes to determine how network and hardware resources are allocated.
  • Bootstrapping the blockchain

DogeP is an ERC20 token that was released in Sep 2021. When mainnet launches, holders of this token can get corresponding coins in the quantum-resistant blockchain. The steps to get the coins from tokens will be published well in advance before the mainnet block is created, with wide announcements.

Since the Doge Protocol blockchain will use proof-of-stake consensus, an initial set of validators are required to solve the chicken & egg problem of signing genesis transactions . The holders of this token can choose to become these initial validators, to bootstrap the blockchain. A further whitepaper will be published that details how this bootstrapping is performed in a quantum-resistant manner.

What is the total & circulating supply of DogeP tokens?

The max supply is 100 trillion tokens. 100% of these tokens were added to liquidity as part of the fair launch. 50% was added to UniSwap and 50% was added to SushiSwap. Since this token is deflationary, some tokens get burnt as part of each transaction.

Where to get DogeP tokens?

In addition to Uniswap and Sushiswap, you may also get these tokens in Coinbase Wallet.

How can I contribute to the Doge Protocol Platform?

Please reach out in the development section of the community Discord. You may also contribute via Github directly.

How does Doge Protocol blockchain achieve Quantum Resistance?

Doge Protocol testnet blockchain uses Falcon to secure accounts & NTRU HRSS to secure inter-node communication. Falcon is a NIST standardized digital signature scheme. Subsequent testnets and mainnet will switch to use hybrid cryptography that uses both classical & post-quantum cryptography schemes. Inter-node communication will also switch to use NIST standardized KEM scheme. Additionally, inter-node communication may use Dilithium instead of Falcon, for proving node-identity, to mitigate side-channel attacks on Falcon (which is more susceptible to timing attacks).
