Dogecoin Labs formed to expand DOGE payments and app use
The teams behind MyDoge, DogeOS and Such App are combining into Dogecoin Labs, formed in partnership with the Dogecoin Foundation, CoinDesk reported. MyDoge founder Jordan Jefferson will lead it as CEO, and MyDoge said it has grown to more than 500,000 users without paid acquisition. The announcement did not specify how many users are active.
2 independent publishers report it (copies of the same text count once); they may still rely on one underlying source. An official source would raise it.
