# An Important Update from Dogechain Today, we are announcing the sunset of Dogechain. After more than four years of building utility, infrastructure, and applications around the Dogecoin ecosystem, Dogechain will be winding down operations. This is not a decision we take lightly. The reality is that current market conditions have made it increasingly difficult to sustainably operate and maintain the network. Despite our efforts to create meaningful utility for DOGE holders and expand the possibilities of the ecosystem, adoption and market activity have not developed at the scale required to support the long-term costs of running the chain. When Dogechain launched, we believed Dogecoin could evolve beyond a meme and become the foundation for a broader ecosystem of applications, DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and on-chain innovation. We dedicated years to making that vision a reality. While we are proud of everything the community, builders, validators, and partners accomplished together, the ecosystem never experienced the level of growth needed to achieve long-term sustainability. As a result, Dogechain services will be shut down. # What Happens Next Users will have a two-month window to bridge assets out of Dogechain and complete any necessary withdrawals. We strongly encourage all users to migrate their assets as soon as possible. After the shutdown process is completed, assets remaining on the network may become inaccessible. Detailed instructions and timelines will be published separately. # Important Information About Assets & DC Token The Dogechain bridge will remain operational for approximately 60 days before being permanently shut down. All users should withdraw liquidity positions, close outstanding positions where applicable, and bridge assets off Dogechain before the shutdown date. Once the bridge is permanently taken offline: * The original Dogechain bridge will no longer be available. * Assets remaining on Dogechain will become permanently inaccessible. * Tokens and assets issued on Dogechain will be lost permanently. * Historical blockchain data and network state may no longer be recoverable through Dogechain infrastructure. * The DC token on Dogechain will be sunset as part of the network shutdown process. To preserve a record of ownership, a final snapshot of all DC balances on Dogechain will be taken immediately before the bridge is shut down. Should Dogechain ever be revived in the future, any future version of the DC token would be issued separately from the original network. The snapshot record would be used to recognize historical DC holders and may serve as the basis for any future token distribution. No commitment is being made that Dogechain will return. However, preserving this snapshot ensures that the contribution and ownership history of DC holders is not lost. Users should not assume that any assets other than DC will be recoverable after shutdown. All liquidity positions, tokens, NFTs, and other assets should be withdrawn or bridged out before the deadline. # A Message to the Community We want to thank every builder, validator, partner, creator, trader, and community member who supported Dogechain throughout this journey. Dogechain proved that there was demand for utility around the Dogecoin ecosystem. Together, we built something that many believed was impossible. For anyone interested in continuing the project, we welcome discussions around community-led continuation efforts. However, we want to be transparent that maintaining blockchain infrastructure requires significant ongoing operational and development resources. # Looking Back Dogechain was listed on numerous exchanges, integrated with leading protocols, supported thousands of users, and helped bring new possibilities to the Dogecoin community. Although circumstances changed and many of those opportunities diminished over time, we remain proud of what was achieved. Thank you for being part of this journey. The Dogechain Team

$100,000 invested 5 years ago in Ethereum $ETH is worth $85,000 today. $100,000 invested 5 years ago in Nvidia $NVDA is worth $1,400,000 today.

FTX Liquidators Sold Cursor Stake for $200K. SpaceX Now Offers $60B to Buy the Company In April 2022, Cursor developer Anysphere completed a $400k Pre-Seed funding round, with Alameda investing $200k for approximately 5% of the shares. This equity stake was sold at the original price ($200k) during FTX's bankruptcy liquidation. Based on Cursor's current market valuation (which has exceeded $50 billion in recent funding negotiations), the equity stake could be worth billions of dollars.

Someone sent $0 worth of a dog coin to a man who didn't ask for it. He turned it into the largest crypto donation in history. > In August 2020 an anonymous person calling himself Ryoshi launched Shiba Inu with one quadrillion tokens > It had no investors, no VCs or a press release. > His plan, written in something he called a "woofpaper", was to send 50% of the entire supply directly to Vitalik Buterin. > He just sent him 500 trillion SHIB tokens to his wallet without warning. > His reason was: "There is no greatness without a vulnerable point. As long as VB doesn't rug us, Shiba will grow and thrive." > He intentionally made the co-founder of Ethereum the single largest holder of his memecoin as a marketing strategy without ever telling him. > Vitalik woke up one day with 50% of a dog coin sitting in his wallet and had no idea what to do with it. > By May 2021 those tokens were worth over $1 billion. > He donated 50 trillion SHIB to India's COVID-19 relief fund > Worth $1.2 billion at the time it was the largest crypto donation in history. > Then burned 410 trillion of the remaining tokens, destroying $6.7 billion in a single transaction > Saying he didn't want to be a "locus of power" in a dog coin project. > SHIB pumped on the news of the burn. > In May 2022 Ryoshi deleted every account, every blog post, every trace of himself and disappeared. > His last words: "I am not important, and one day I will be gone without notice. Take the SHIBA and journey upwards frens." > Nobody knows who he is. He never sold a single token. The coin he built reached a $40 billion market cap. None of it was supposed to work and all of it did.
