The Dogecoin Foundation has introduced a significant update to their development trailmap with the unveiling of “Project Sakura,” a protocol enhancement set to elevate block speed by ten times, increase block size accordingly, and ensure maximum decentralization, sparking lively conversations within the community.
Presented in their shared trailmap on Thursday via X, the Foundation’s strategy unfolds in three key steps, focusing on expanding the scope and utility of DOGE. The initial step concentrated on enhancing accessibility to development and broadening the developer ecosystem through tools like libdogecoin and multi-language bindings.
The second step aims at simplifying Dogecoin adoption for businesses and the 1.7 billion unbanked individuals globally. This phase, currently 90% complete, includes the implementation of the GigaWallet Payment Gateway and Ecommerce plugins to facilitate the usage of DOGE in commercial transactions.
The community has responded with excitement and curiosity to Project Sakura, with influential figures like Doge Whisperer and Sir Doge of the Coin requesting more information about its implications. Doge Whisperer tweeted, “Can you share more details on this: Project Sakura: ‘Proof of Doge’ Protocol Upgrade prototype. 10x block speed, 10x block size, maximum decentralization.” Sir Doge of the Coin expressed anticipation for Step 3, tweeting, “Cool. Interested to see what Step 3 involves.”
Dogecoin Community’s Reactions
Additionally, Kriss Pax emphasized the importance of transparency, urging the foundation to provide more details about the progress of Step 3 and the future direction of the project. The foundation emphasizes that their trailmap is a community-driven exploration into the future of DOGE, aiming to support the cryptocurrency’s success guided by the community, not a single entity or company.
The innovative approaches such as libdogecoin and the GigaWallet aim to facilitate the development of DOGE-compliant products without requiring an in-depth understanding of cryptographic functions. This strategy simplifies the adoption of DOGE technologies and ensures that future implementations align with the original protocol outlined in the Dogecoin Standard.
The GigaWallet aspires to be an “enterprise-ready” DOGE service, providing an open-source solution for developers to seamlessly integrate Dogecoin transactions into their platforms, similar to established payment providers.
Currently, DOGE is trading at $0.09725.
