Leading cross-chain interoperability network Wormhole has developed the first bridge connecting Dogecoin to the Solana ecosystem. The integration will create a symbiotic relationship between Solana and Dogecoin users, connecting two of the largest crypto ecosystems. Wormhole launched this innovation using its Native Token Transfers (NTT) framework and zero-knowledge proofs developed by Psy and RISC Zero The next-generation bridge technology validates Dogecoin proof-of-work consensus on Solana, enabling cross-chain interoperability without third-party intervention. The bridge uses QDOGE for its interoperability function. The protocol converts a DOGE transaction to QDOGE and issues its equivalent on Solana for use. When converted back, the bridge burns QDOGE tokens and issues DOGE to the user’s Dogecoin address. This technology ensures that Dogecoin users can access Solana's DeFi, gaming, and NFTs while bringing $36 billion in liquidity and a huge memecoin's community to Solana. Users will also be able to directly use DOGE in Solana dApps without relying on wrapped tokens or third parties. Image: freepik Designed by Freepik
