The Dogecoin X account highlighted a common misconception about the dog coin in a recent X interaction.
Alex, MyDoge CTO, asked the question of who was building Dogecoin across market cycles. The post named the core Dogecoin team, the Dogecoin Foundation, House of Doge, MyDoge, and DogeOS, along with “hundreds of ecosystem projects” as those who continue to build Dogecoin across various market cycles.
‘But Dogecoin has no developers?’ The official Dogecoin X account responded, seeking to debunk a common misconception about the dog-themed cryptocurrency.
Previously, there was a misconception that Dogecoin did not have developers, which was clarified on the official Dogecoin website. Dogecoin has had developers from its inception, according to the Dogecoin website.
History of Dogecoin Development
Billy Markus, co-creator of Dogecoin along with Jackson Palmer, served as the solo developer for the first Dogecoin Core releases. In 2014, when both co-founders left Dogecoin development, a new development team was formed. Over the years, the Dogecoin development team has consisted of a small group of maintainers coordinating the work of several contributors.
