Dogecoin: Transforming the Blockchain into a Gaming Wonderland

Dogecoin, initially conceived as a playful cryptocurrency, has taken on a surprising role as a platform for hosting classic games like Doom from 1993. This unconventional use of the Dogecoin blockchain, known as "inscription," involves embedding the entire Doom game within a blockchain transaction. While Dogecoin's origins may have been humorous, it has since gained a substantial following and been utilised for various purposes, including charitable donations and tipping content creators online. This innovation reflects a broader trend in which blockchains are being leveraged to preserve cherished retro games, such as the recent example of Ninjalerts inscribing the iconic Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) onto the Bitcoin blockchain, underscoring the growing synergy between blockchain technology and the preservation of vintage gaming content.
