Dogecoin (DOGE) incorporates Elon Musk's Starlink technology.
Dogecoin developers are actively working to integrate the Starlink satellite network built by SpaceX, led by billionaire Elon Musk, to facilitate offline DOGE transactions.
Two key engineers working for the Dogecoin Foundation recently published a recent article on using RadioDoge technology combined with the Starlink satellite network to execute DOGE transactions without using the Internet. The research team acknowledges there is still a long way to go, but the platform is preparing to finalize the last steps for future experiments.
Specifically, Timothy Stebbing – Product Team Leader, and Michi Lumin, lead developer at the Dogecoin Foundation, have collaborated to work on a new communication network that allows users to transact Dogecoin offline, requiring support only from the Starlink satellite network.
According to him, the key lies in the new technology called RadioDoge, an inexpensive and reliable wireless technology (HF/LoRaWAN). Another crucial factor is GigaWallet, a groundbreaking project in DOGE's 2022 roadmap that enables transactions to be carried out through an integrated, standardized unsupervised wallet with the Dogecoin network.
Michi Lumin mentioned working to establish a testing center for the innovative RadioDoge technology. Both developers anticipate the first transactions forming on Libdogecoin. Initially, transactions will cover a journey of over 150 miles from Colorado to the center. Subsequently, the center will send transactions to Dogecoin's testnet via the Starlink satellite network.
In essence, Libdogecoin is a complete deployment of protocols built on DOGE, serving as a C library with various options in multiple programming languages. This allows anyone to build a Dogecoin-compliant product without worrying about more complex details.
However, the research team hopes this breakthrough can stimulate the adoption of Dogecoin in more mainstream economies, making DOGE an efficient means of exchanging goods and services globally. Notably, the event coincides with numerous rumors suggesting Elon Musk may soon accept Dogecoin payments for SpaceX and Starlink.
The evidence becomes even more solid when addressing the symbiotic relationship between Tesla and Dogecoin in recent times. Earlier this March, Elon Musk once again demonstrated his enduring trust in Dogecoin with a statement that he holds BTC, ETH, and DOGE to hedge against inflation. He even expressed willingness to propose DOGE as a payment method for Twitter services just days after publicly becoming Twitter's largest shareholder.
