DOOM: Iconic 90s Game Now Playable on Dogecoin Blockchain

Classic Game DOOM Hosted on Dogecoin Network

The DOOM game, released in 1993, is now accessible and stored on the DogecoinDogecoin$0.091 -0.42% network. This has been made possible by a novel protocol that allows large volumes of data to be fully stored on a blockchain.

Game Data Inscribed on the Dogecoin Blockchain

The developer known as @minidogeart was responsible for uploading the game onto the Dogecoin network. They proclaimed, Ð is for Doginals! Ð is for DOOM on Dogecoin. Now inscribed on Dogecoin blockchain forever! This declaration signifies that all the gaming data associated with DOOM is derived entirely from the data stored on the Dogecoin network, with no dependency on any external sources.

DOOM's Historical Significance

The first-person shooter DOOM, one of the pioneering computer games that went viral in the 90s, was launched on Doginals on its 30th anniversary, according to @minidogeart.

Art Collections and Games on the Network since May

Since May, it has been possible for developers to upload art collections and games onto Dogecoin, broadening its ecosystem beyond just being a dog-themed meme token using inscription technology.

Benefits of Inscriptions

Inscriptions, digital entries that store content such as images, videos, audio, and text files on the blockchain, are known as Doginals on Dogecoin. They resemble BitcoinBitcoin$42,260 -0.64% Ordinals and are a relatively recent addition to the blockchain ecosystem. Such features can stimulate thriving ecosystems on a blockchain, enhance a token's fundamentals, and potentially lead to increased prices due to heightened demand.

Surge in Transactional Activity

There was a surge in transactional volumes on the network to all-time highs in May, due to the excitement around Dogecoin inscriptions, which led to a 10% increase in the price of the cryptocurrency. Although transaction activity has tailed off somewhat over the last month, current data indicates that it is picking up once again.

The Future of Inscriptions and Ordinals

Developers like @minidogeart anticipate that the use of inscriptions and Ordinals could stimulate greater interest in the overall Dogecoin ecosystem. This ecosystem includes not only DOGE but also collections, games, and tokens that are issued on the Dogecoin blockchain.

Doginals Transforming Blockchain Transactions

@minidogeart announced that the introduction of Doginals on the Dogecoin blockchain, similar to Ordinals on Bitcoin, has the potential to fundamentally change the way blockchain transactions are viewed. He explained that by integrating digital assets directly into the proof of ownership, Doginals provide significant intrinsic value to each transaction. Rather than being a simple financial transaction, each exchange now becomes a secure and permanent record of digital asset ownership.

Significance of DOOM Inscription on Dogecoin Blockchain

They further stated that the storage of DOOM on the Dogecoin blockchain illustrates that even a relatively simple game can be stored forever on the blockchain. This underscores the blockchain's capacity to securely manage and store a wide range of digital content.
