DOOM Becomes First Video Game Preserved on Dogecoin Blockchain for 30th Anniversary
-
Developer @minidogeart put the popular 90s video game DOOM on the Dogecoin blockchain using "inscription" technology to store large amounts of data.
-
This allows the game to be played entirely using data stored on Dogecoin's blockchain, with no reliance on outside sources.
-
DOOM was released on its 30th anniversary. The version is "shareware" - containing 9 free playable levels.
-
Inscriptions ("Doginals") allow images, video, audio, text files to be stored on Dogecoin's blockchain, creating an ecosystem beyond just a meme token.
-
Activity around inscriptions increased use of Dogecoin's network. Developers believe it can increase interest and transform how blockchain transactions are viewed.
