QED, Nexus aim to bring smart contracts to Dogecoin

The zkVM scaling solution will make the dog-themed memecoin network “STRONKer than all the others,” QED and Nexus said.

Blockchain developers QED Protocol and Nexus are preparing to launch a layer-2 (L2) scaling solution designed to bring smart contracts to the Dogecoin network, according to a Sept. 26 announcement. 

The planned L2, a zero-knowledge virtual machine (zkVM), aims to “enable the world’s oldest and most popular memecoin network to compete in the smart-contract realm with the likes of Ethereum and Solana,” QED and Nexus said in a statement. 

Dogecoin (DOGE) operates on a proof-of-work (PoW) blockchain network similar to Bitcoin’s (BTC) but with less computationally intensive transaction verifications and no upper limit on total DOGE supply. Dogecoin does not support smart contracts.
