A principal core engineer for the Dogecoin (DOGE) project says a new version of the blockchain’s utility-enhancing tool is about to launch.
Dogecoin engineer Michi Lumin tells his 32,000 Twitter followers that Libdogecoin 0.1.2 is on its way, although no specific date is given.
“Libdogecoin 0.1.2 soon with easy to integrate mnemonic/seedphrase generation and QR code production, also better MSVC (Microsoft Visual C++)/MSVS (Microsoft Visual Studio) support.”
The nonprofit Dogecoin Foundation, which works to advance the project’s ecosystem, says Libdogecoin is intended to improve utility through wider adoption. Libdogecoin was initially launched in August 2022.
Libdogecoin is a library for Dogecoin operations that allows developers to more easily integrate products in the ecosystem without needing a deeper knowledge of its operations.
Says the foundation,
“Libdogecoin will be a complete implementation of the Dogecoin Protocols, as a C library (and series of bindings to popular languages) which will allow anyone to build a Dogecoin-compliant product, without needing to worry about the deeper specifics of the crypto functions.
We believe that by taking the core functionality from Dogecoin and making it available as a simple C library with bindings for many languages, we multiply the community’s ability to innovate.”
The soon-to-launch newer version will improve the developers’ ability to integrate products with the DOGE ecosystem.
The dog-themed meme token is also getting a boost from news reports that Elon Musk, one of Dogecoin’s supporters, is making moves that could bring crypto payments to Twitter, the microblogging service he purchased late last year.
Dogecoin is worth $0.0911 at time of writing, up nearly 30% from the start of the year.
