Dogecoin (DOGE) is trading near 8 cents after the teams behind a wallet, an app network and merchant payment tools announced they are combining. The new group, called Dogecoin Labs, aims to give DOGE holders more places to spend and use their coins. The token has gained 3.9% in the past 24 hours.
Dogecoin Labs was formed in partnership with the Dogecoin Foundation. It will own and operate MyDoge, DogeOS and Such App, according to an announcement shared with CoinDesk. Jordan Jefferson, founder of MyDoge and DogeOS, will serve as CEO.
What Dogecoin Labs Plans to Build
The plan links three parts of a possible DOGE business ecosystem. Developers build applications on DogeOS, holders find them through MyDoge, and merchants accept payments through Such App.

Such App was developed by House of Doge and Brag House. Its beta already supports invoices and in-person QR payments. Its connection to DogeOS remains in the planning stage.
MyDoge says it has grown to more than 500,000 users without paid acquisition. Its V3 update connects the wallet to applications being built on DogeOS. The announcement does not say how many users are active or have tried those applications.
The Foundation and House of Doge are contributing intellectual property and development teams. The Foundation will keep supporting open-source development, advocacy and community work. Labs will focus on products and commercial opportunities.
“No other digital asset has Dogecoin’s combination of liquidity, community and cultural reach, and its potential has barely been tapped,” Jefferson said in a statement. He said the group was formed to bring Dogecoin’s top builders together.
DogeOS Status and Market Backdrop
DogeOS opened its public test network on Sept. 30. Developers can build Ethereum-style lending services, exchanges and games using test DOGE. Because Dogecoin handles coin transfers, those applications run on a separate system.
Three weeks later, the DogeOS user guide still lists its featured applications as “coming soon.” The planned security link to the Dogecoin blockchain also needs more work. A proposed rule change that would enable it remains a draft.
Until that link exists, users must rely on DogeOS’s selected operators and hardware to confirm the applications work. DogeOS wants Dogecoin’s network to check proofs that its applications ran correctly.
The launch follows a weak stretch for Dogecoin in traditional finance. Bitwise announced plans in September to close its Dogecoin ETF. CEO Hunter Horsley said earlier this month the closure showed a gap between crypto ETF investors and users of crypto brokerage apps.
Earlier this year, Jefferson spoke about growing Dogecoin beyond its reliance on Elon Musk’s public endorsements. He pointed to new teams, investment and applications around the network. He told The Block at Consensus Miami that “big stuff” was on the horizon.

Tardigrade says a breakout above the upper line near $0.358 would open the measured move. His target is $0.878.
Dogecoin was created in 2013 as a joke and features a shiba inu image. It was recently trading around 8.2 cents.
