As demand for faster and more scalable blockchain systems grows, developers are turning to more modern platforms than meme coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu.
Dogecoin's Development: From Joke to Community
Dogecoin started in 2013 as a joke inspired by the popular "Doge" meme. Despite its origins as a mere meme, Dogecoin has built a serious community thanks to its peer-to-peer network that enables fast and low-cost transactions. However, the absence of a cap on the number of coins has led it to be more of a currency for transactions rather than savings.
How Shiba Inu Rivaled Dogecoin
Shiba Inu entered the scene in 2020 with the aim of outdoing Dogecoin. As an ERC-20 token based on Ethereum, SHIB gained attention with its massive initial supply. Half of the tokens were burned, which led to scarcity and increased interest in the coin.
BlockDAG's Appeal for Developers
In search of more productive platforms, developers are eyeing BlockDAG, which offers faster and cheaper transactions due to its DAG architecture. In addition, it provides tools for creating tokens without the need for programming, attracting both new and experienced developers.
While meme coins will remain popular among certain groups, serious projects are seeking more efficient solutions. BlockDAG stands as such a platform, offering speed, scalability, and better conditions for the development of modern applications.
