On July 22nd, Dogeos, an application layer developed by the Mydoge currency team of the Dogecoin network, presented a proposal for a soft update (Soft fork) DogeCoin Core protocol.
This initiative aims to natively incorporate a zero knowledge testing mechanism (Zero knowledge proof) We will also consider developing Zero Knowledge Virtual Machines (ZKVMs) for that chain.
According to a Dogeos announcement, this soft fork is about to convert Dogecoin “originally devised as a basic payment currency.” A platform that can support complex and sophisticated applicationsopening new possibilities for that ecosystem.
Technical proposals to expand the DogeCoin function
Zero Knowledge Test (ZK) is a cryptographic technology that allows you to show the truth of affirmation. Without revealing fundamental information (identity, amount, etc.)ideal for applications that require privacy and efficiency.
In the case of DogeCoin, this technology could enable transactions and applications that maintain user confidentiality while maintaining network integrity and security.
Updates to the DogeCoin protocol are performed through the implementation of OP_CHECKZKP. Technically, it’s new OPCODE Language of (operation code) script Dogecoin’s proposal.
Its implementation OPCODE Not only does it expand the capabilities of the Doge Memecoin protocol, it “opens great new possibilities for developers while not breaking Dogecoin’s existing capabilities.”
According to the statement, ” Upgrade OP_CHECKZKP works with multiple types of encryption testing and can be adapted to support new modalities during development».
That means that technology It’s flexible to incorporate a variety of test systems And it is designed to evolve over time.
Dogeos is trying to create a virtual machine with Dogecoin
Additionally, DoGeos is developing its own virtual zero knowledge machine based directly on the DogeCoin network. This ZKVM acts as a channel Promote interoperability between Dogecoin and other networks such as Ethereum. From dogeos, they explain it as follows:
“Think of this as a compatibility layer that connects the two worlds. Developers can use the tools and Ethereum family code, but everything is guaranteed by a proven network of Dogecoin.”
It was told by the dog.
This simplifies the process of applying authors who can use existing tools while benefiting from the work safety (POW) of the Doge blockchain.
For Doge holders, ZKVM means more opportunities The DOGEOS display application can attract new users and use cases to the network.
Dogecoin can have a first second tier network
Finally, another related element of this proposal is zk-rollupsTechniques to allow Process thousands of transactions Off-chain It will be per second on the network in the second layer (L2) and then verified On-chain Through compact encryption testing.
Possible inclusions of zk-rollupsUnpublished at Dogecoin Core may increase the capacity of the main layer To handle more operationscreate a more scalable network.
Introduction as specified in DoGeos ZK Proof y zk-rollups “Creating a real utility: a loan market supported by Doge, distributed exchange, multiplayer green games, and NFT platforms with verifiable properties.”
