Dogechain is applying the layer two solutions used by Ethereum (ETH) to improving the usability of its blockchain to the Dogecoin blockchain, by bringing more usecases to the meme token.

Investors can use DOGE to participate in decentralised finance (DeFi) ,or mint non-fungible tokens (NFTs). This was made possible through the Dogechain network.

Dogechain’s native DC token is now surging, after a vote to reduce its token supply by 80%

What is Dogechain?

Dogechain, described as a layer-2 for Dogecoin, is not built on the DOGE network and has no official connection to the original meme token.

However, its website said: “Dogechain supercharges Dogecoin to bring crypto applications like NFTs, games, and DeFi to the Dogecoin community… With Dogechain, Dogecoin holders can do more than simply hodl and wait for Dogecoin to moon!”

It claims to be bringing more utility to the DOGE meme token through the introduction of DeFi features. The network used the Polygon Edge (MATIC) framework to build its proof-of-work network, which gives it the capability to host decentralised applications (dApps).

Dogechain is hoping that its network will bring casual holders into Web 3.0. Its many use cases include NFT exchanges, GameFi opportunities, DeFi trading and more.

The DC token

There are two cryptocurrencies integral to the blockchain: the original DOGE meme token, and Dogechain’s own DC token.

DOGE can be bridged onto the blockchain by a smart contract that burns DOGE and mints wDOGE. This wrapped version of the cryptocurrency can then be used across Dogechain’s dApps.

DC is the utility and governance token on Dogechain. A total of 12% of DC’s total supply of one trillion tokens will be distributed to wDoge holders

Its whitepaper said: “This community-focused token serves as a primary governance token for the Dogechain blockchain and comes with various use cases.”

Dogchain uses a decentralised autonomous organisation (DAO) to maintain the network. DC investors can vote on various decisions, including those that impact its treasury, which is 29% of the total supply.

Other perks of holding the DC token include access to an exclusive Discord group and free tickets to the Dogechain conference, which brings together ecosystem builders.

Dogechain price history

Dogechain’s native token is relatively new to the industry, having only launched in August 2022. Its token went live at $0.0007 towards the end of that month. Almost immediately, it saw a surge in network activity, hitting six million transactions and 200,000 unique wallets.

This came after a DC airdrop to those who have bridged their DOGE tokens onto the network and received wDOGE. DC was also listed on the Gate.io exchange on 28 August.

The following day, dogechain rocketed to its all-time high of $0.004. It subsequently fell back, and closed the month at $0.002.

In recent dogechain news, a vote is taking place to burn 80% of its total supply. At the time of writing, 99% of voters are in favour of the proposal.

DC has surged above its launch price again. As of 26 October, it was trading at $0.001, up a staggering 247% in the previous seven days.

Dogechain price predictions

At the time of writing, CoinCodex’s DC price prediction said there was neutral sentiment, with 11 bullish technical indicators and 11 signalling “sell”. Meanwhile, the fear and greed index displayed “fear”.

The site’s dogechain price prediction for 2022 said the token would have gained by 82% to $0.002 on 25 November.

A gradual rise was anticipated in DigitalCoinPrice’s long-term dogechain coin price prediction. It said DC would have averaged at $0.0014 this year and $0.0038 in 2025. Its dogechain price prediction for 2030 said the token should have climbed to $0.008.

PricePrediction expected similar gains for the meme token. DC was thought to have averaged at $0.002 in 2022 and $0.003 next year. The site’s dogechain price prediction for 2025 suggested it could have surged to $0.006 and hit $0.039 in 2030.

CryptoPredictions was more reserved with its forecast. The site’s dogechain crypto price prediction said the token would have an average price of $0.001 in January 2023 and $0.004 at the beginning of 2025.

When considering a DC price prediction, it is important to keep in mind that cryptocurrency markets remain extremely volatile, making it difficult to accurately predict what a coin or token’s price will be in a few hours, and even harder to give long-term estimates. As such, analysts and algorithm-based forecasters can and do get their predictions wrong.

If you are considering investing in cryptocurrency tokens, we recommend that you always do your own research. Look at the latest market trends, news, technical and fundamental analysis, and expert opinion before making any investment decision. Keep in mind that past performance is no guarantee of future returns. Never trade with money that you cannot afford to lose.

The difference between trading assets and CFDs
The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade on a CFD.
You can still benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading you enter a contract to exchange the legal ownership of the individual shares or the commodities for money, and you own this until you sell it again.
CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of the CFD trade in order to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK, there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
CFDs attract overnight costs to hold the trades (unless you use 1-1 leverage), which makes them more suited to short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held for longer. You might also pay a broker commission or fees when buying and selling assets direct and you’d need somewhere to store them safely.
