Dogecoin’s Latest Update: Faster, Smarter, and Still a Meme 🚀

Dogecoin (DOGE), the cryptocurrency that started as a joke and now refuses to stop laughing all the way to the blockchain, has just dropped Libdogecoin version 0.1.4. This C library, designed to make integrating Dogecoin into apps as easy as teaching a Shiba Inu to fetch, is packed with updates that even the most serious crypto bros can’t ignore.

Since the 0.1.3 release in February 2024, the Dogecoin team has been busy—like, *really* busy. They’ve added support for Dogebox, SPV PUP (a lightweight node service that sounds like a dog’s sneeze), and even more key management capabilities. Because, you know, who doesn’t need more keys in their life? 🗝️

Faster, more secure, more compatibility. Libdogecoin 0.1.4 released today, like *now* now. U should buidl.

The 0.1.4 release is like a doggy bag of goodies: Intel and ARM performance improvements, REST API extensions for the SPV node, expanded secure enclave support, and YubiKey hardware key storage. Oh, and there’s a new ChaCha20-based pseudorandom number generator, because why not add a little salsa to your crypto? 💃

Performance is the name of the game, and Libdogecoin 0.1.4 comes with a bench command-line tool that runs performance tests faster than a greyhound on Red Bull. It’s all about SHA256 and other cryptographic operations, helping developers figure out the best setup for their needs. Because nothing says “serious crypto” like benchmarking. 📊

Secure enclaves are also in the mix, ensuring that key-related operations like mnemonic generation and seed handling happen in isolated settings. Think of it as a VIP lounge for your crypto keys—no riff-raff allowed. 🚪

Dogecoin News

21Shares, the heavyweight champion of cryptocurrency ETPs, has teamed up with the House of Doge to create the only Dogecoin ETP endorsed by the Dogecoin Foundation. It’ll be listed on the SIX Swiss exchange under the ticker DOGE, because of course it will. This partnership is a big deal, bringing institutional-grade exposure to the meme coin that just won’t quit. 🏦

The 21Shares Dogecoin ETP is 100% physically backed, meaning investors can get their paws on Dogecoin through traditional financial channels. Because who doesn’t want to explain to their financial advisor why they’re investing in a coin with a dog on it? 🐕

At press time, DOGE was up 1.28% in the last 24 hours to $0.157. To the moon? Maybe. To the dog park? Definitely. 🌕
