What is DOG (Runes)?
DOG•GO•TO•THE•MOON is a rune that has been engraved and minted on Bitcoin through the Runes Protocol. Like other Runes, DOG is a fungible crypto asset. Its goal is to surpass the market capitalization of DOGE, according to its creator, Leonidas.
Launched in April 2024, DOG was part of a volunteer-organized airdrop for the Bitcoin Ordinals community, with no team allocation or presale involved. The mission of DOG is to reach the moon and onboard millions of people to Bitcoin.
Recently, Leonidas shared a post revealing the setup for DOG, which includes the following:
- No listings on level 1 CEXs yet
- One step away from making it to the homepage of CMC
- On the verge of becoming the tenth meme coin to hit $1 billion
Yesterday, Leonidas posted that every CEX should list DOG without any listing fees.
