Discussion

As we know Doge has taken the internet by storm -- the actual Doge coin is not a compatible ERC-20 token. The REN Project has a currently ERC-20 compatible DOGE token, which acts as a "mimic" accurately reflecting the current price of Doge. The principle is the same as "wrapping" Bitcoin. renDOGE is pegged to a 1:1 ratio of the actual Doge coin. Bringing the renDOGE to the BNT platform with added Liquidity mining can be an educational / awareness test run to shed light on the Bancor Protocol and the use case of Defi. We could have first movers advantage on DOGE via DEFI

Project

The Doge coin was started as a "meme" to provide users the ability to have a free and instant and cheap way to be able to transact with one another, also to draw a positive light on crypto currencies. Doge is a fork of bitcoin. Doge coin was written in C++ just like bitcoin.

Tokenomics

Doge coin is currently mined by users (Proof-of-work) with a block reward of 10,000 DOGE, Doge is an inflationary currency unlike bitcoin. Dogecoin's current block time is approximately 1 minute. Significantly faster than bitcoin's 10 minute block time.

Community and Communication

This is where the DOGE coin shines, and where it can bring great awareness to DEFI and the Bancor network. Millions of mentions across all social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Discord, Twitch and TikTok) the exposure we could potentially have would be worth the Co-Investment provided by the protocol alone. There was a proposal to allocate a portion of all fees to marketing efforts, I think this could serve just as well if not more. The connection between Bancor and Doge would be one giant marketing push in it of itself for Bancor. Capitalizing on the Doge Coin community would could be our silver bullet. Elon musk has repeatedly mentioned DOGE coin and how it is his favorite coin "a coin for the people." Doge Coin socials have been on a consistent uptrend, and show no signs of slowing down -- the community is immense. Potentially millions of people -- arguably the most powerful community in all of crypto currency. A truly diverse community.
