Dogecoin protocols

Dogecoin is the only chain other than Bitcoin that Inscribe writes to. Everything here sits behind one deployment gate.

TAP on Doge and Doginals share the /tap-doge workspace. Doginals have no workspace of their own; their orders run through the same Dogecoin feature.

The production contract records them as two separate entries, both released:

Contract entryOperations it covers
doge-tapexplore, portfolio, mint preview, mint, reveal, status
doginalspreview, inscribe, reveal, status

So the workspace mints TAP tokens indexed on Dogecoin, including Doge DMT blocks, and inscribes Doginals, and both are the same gate.

Most gated workspaces stay visible and refuse to act. The Dogecoin feature has one surface that behaves differently: the Dogecoin BlockPad returns the 404 page when the feature is off, rather than loading and refusing.

If you reach a 404 at that route, the feature is off in this deployment. It is not a broken link.

Mint only. The registry records mint and nothing else, so Inscribe cannot deploy or transfer a TAP token on Dogecoin for you, even though it can do all three on Bitcoin.

Inscribe only. The registry records inscribe and nothing else. You can create a Doginal; you cannot transfer one from Inscribe.

No creation surface in Inscribe. The registry records a mint operation, and there is no workspace implementing it.

DRC-20 does appear in read-only surfaces: portfolio classification, and the asset inventory for an output. As with Bitmap and UNAT on Bitcoin, that recognition still does useful work, because the safety screening will not spend a DRC-20 output to pay a fee.

Dogecoin mainnet is real money on a different chain. Your Bitcoin wallet addresses do not apply, the fee market is different, and the assets are indexed separately from anything on Bitcoin.
