AppSwarm’s DOGE division calls for a global dev teams to build off Dogecoin

AppSwarm’s newly launched Dogecoin division DogeLabs wants to become a global Dogecoin player by uniting worldwide DevOps teams.

A Dogecoin (DOGE)-focused division at publicly-traded OTC software firm AppSwarm (SWRM) is looking to bring together a global development teams to build off the Dogecoin blockchain.

DogeLabs, a newly launched division of AppSwarm’s blockchain research lab, TulsaLabs, announced Wednesday a new initiative calling on DevOps teams to unite their efforts in building a “sort of decentralized network” of DOGE developers across the globe.

“These teams would share ideas and provide support for Doge based applications for both commercial and possible larger enterprises within their local jurisdictions under the DogeLabs network,” DogeLabs said in the announcement.

DogeLabs founder and CEO Thomas Bustamante pointed out on DogeLabs official Telegram group that the new initiative would be “quickest and cheapest way to rapidly expand DogeLabs as a global player in Dogecoin.” The Dogecoin lab will review potential partners over coming weeks, Bustamante noted, adding that DevOps teams must meet certain criteria that would be posted shortly.

Currently operating in New York and Tulsa, DogeLabs is a blockchain research lab and startup accelerator focused on commercial applications around the Doge protocol. The lab’s CEO is also tfounder and CEO of AI Venturetech, an artificial intelligence startup that cooperates with AppSwarm on its blockchain research lab. The company apparently moved into blockchain development after its securities offering was rejected by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in 2020.

AppSwarm did not immediately respond to Cointelegraph’s request for comment.

Dogecoin-related development appears to be promising as DOGE has emerged as one of the fastest-growing digital currency this year, posting gains of up to 13,500% year-to-date after surging from $0.005 to an all-time high of around $0.73. Amid the altcoin’s parabolic growth, Canadian company Geometric Energy Corporation announced plans to send a mission to the moon onboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in a Dogecoin-based deal.

Launched back in 2013 by IBM software engineer Billy Markus and Adobe engineer Jackson Palmer, Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency based on the popular “Doge” meme featuring a Shiba Inu dog. Dogecoin’s protocol is based on Luckycoin (LKY), which itself derived from the Litecoin blockchain.
