Dogecoin protocols
Dogecoin is the only chain other than Bitcoin that Inscribe writes to. Everything here sits behind one deployment gate.
| Protocol | Chain | Creation operations | Released | Workspace |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Doginalsdoginal | Dogecoin | inscribe | ReleasedA build must switch it on | /tap-doge |
| DRC-20drc-20 | Dogecoin | mint | Read-only in Inscribe | None |
| TAP on Dogetap-on-doge, doge-tap, tap-doge | Dogecoin | mint | ReleasedA build must switch it on | /tap-doge |
One workspace, two protocols
Section titled “One workspace, two protocols”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 entry | Operations it covers |
|---|---|
doge-tap | explore, portfolio, mint preview, mint, reveal, status |
doginals | preview, 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.
What the gate does here
Section titled “What the gate does here”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.
TAP on Doge
Section titled “TAP on Doge”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.
Doginals
Section titled “Doginals”Inscribe only. The registry records inscribe and nothing else. You can create a
Doginal; you cannot transfer one from Inscribe.
DRC-20
Section titled “DRC-20”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.
Before you use any of this
Section titled “Before you use any of this”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.
