  • Dogecoin Foundation reveals a list of on-going projects 
  • Among these is the RadioDoge project
  • Foundation aims to make DOGE the de facto currency 

Dogecoin could allow transactions even without internet access thanks to its upcoming project dubbed RadioDoge.

Dogecoin Foundation developers Muchi Lumin and Timothy Stebbing shared how RadioDoge could allow offline DOGE transactions using SpaceX's Starlink satellite network.

The developers said In a new blog post that "RadioDoge focuses on using cheap and reliable Radio technology (HF/LoRaWAN) combined with the global Starlink satellite network to enable cheaply deployable, wide-scale access to Dogecoin for people outside the reach of the traditional internet infrastructure."

Lumin has set up the RadioDoge Regional Hub, which will serve as a testing ground for this next-generation technology.

Developers anticipate the first transactions on Libdogecoin, the decentralized financial payment network that rebuilds the traditional payment stack on the blockchain, will be transmitted more than 150 miles from the HF Radio located in Colorado to the Regional Hub.

From the Regional Hub, the transactions will then be sent to the Dogecoin testnet using the Starlink satellite. Although excited about this new advancement, developers Stebbing and Lumin recognized "there is still a long way to go."

For them, what they are currently doing "are exciting early steps toward realizing the goal of making Dogecoin an unstoppable financial vehicle, one which will empower financial freedom from power structures and provide a means of exchange for future generations."

For the Dogecoin Foundation, the main objective of the world's first-ever dog-themed meme coin is to serve as the worldwide de facto currency for exchanging goods and services.

Apart from RadioDoge, the foundation is also working on various projects centered on making the Dogecoin ecosystem a prepared state for fast "grassroots adoption," particularly in "emerging economies." The Dogecoin Foundation has not yet revealed the timeline for the official launch of RadiDoge.

Dogecoin was trading up 1.38% at $0.141 with a 24-hour volume trading down 8.52% at $1,274,991,094 as of 2:26 a.m. ET on April 13, based on the data from CoinMarketCap. The dog-themed meme coin recently saw a spike in its price after Tesla CEO and Twitter stakeholder Elon Musk tweeted about making Dogecoin an alternative payment option for Twitter Blue subscription.
