A new protocol update called Dogecoin Core 1.14.3 has been released by Dogecoin developers.
The two crucial improvements of the update are focused on synchronization speed and reduction in the “default mempool expiry time”.
Dogecoin’s development has been at a standstill since October 2019, that is, until yesterday. It appears that Dogecoin is officially back, following a post from lead developer Ross Nicoll in the r/dogecoin subreddit. It stated that the release of a new iteration of the Dogecoin Core protocol.
Dogecoin is originally a cryptocurrency that was created to mock the crypto space, as admitted by founder Jack Palmer. However, everyone took the Inu Shiba coin seriously, especially Tesla founder Elon Musk. His affinity for DOGE has not just pushed the price but also pushed development now.
In early February, lead maintainer Nicoll has started taking a few pull requests on Dogecoin’s GitHub. Right now, we’re seeing the Dogecoin Core 1.14.3, the latest version of the protocol.
