Building a Real Economy on Dogecoin | DogeOS at TOKEN2049

Back at TOKEN2049 Singapore, The Block sits down with DogeOS founder Jordan Jefferson and head of ecosystem Alex Hoff, fresh off the launch of the DogeOS public testnet.

Jefferson says Dogecoin already sees about $1 trillion a year in spot and perps volume, but almost none of that activity happens on-chain. DogeOS wants to change that by giving the Doge community a full ecosystem of apps, DeFi, games, and payments, with the goal of competing with Ethereum and Solana by 2027.

In this conversation:
• What the public testnet launch means for DogeOS and its builders.
• What’s coming to the ecosystem: AI smart contract tooling, AI audits, an Ethena-style stablecoin, games, and a new kind of launchpad.
• Balancing newcomer builders with experienced crypto natives.
• Why Dogecoin is the “PVE that won” in a PVP industry.
• How Jefferson got Doge-pilled while building MyDoge.
• Why Hoff tells builders to focus on revenue before launching a token.
• Doge Fund Me and the generosity of the Doge community.
• The hidden challenges of being a founder.
• The new multi-chain MyDoge app and plans for 2027.
• When mainnet? “Sooner than you’d think.”
