Date: 2025-12-10 Author: Gabriel Deangelo Categories: CRYPTO PAYMENTS
The Psy Protocol team has announced DogeCon 2025, which will take place on December 11 in Abu Dhabi, concurrently with Solana Breakpoint. The conference will focus on combining the capabilities of Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake networks. Confirmed participants include the Solana Foundation, Bitmain, Litecoin, Wormhole, Meteora, Orca, G20, Metaplex, and Psy Protocol itself.
The organizers emphasized that DogeCon will bring together key representatives of PoW and PoS on the same stage for the first time. Solana Foundation President Lily Liu and Bitmain Ecosystem Manager Miranda Ma will jointly discuss how PoW networks can leverage the potential of Solana technologies to improve their efficiency.
Particular attention will be paid to the launch of the Solana-Doge bridge from Psy Protocol. This tool allows Dogecoin to remain within the PoW framework while simultaneously opening up programmable execution capabilities through the Solana Virtual Machine. This transforms Dogecoin into a global decentralized asset where transactions are secured by PoW, and smart contracts and DeFi applications can run on Solana.
At DogeCon, a demo of a Dogecoin lite node on Solana will also be presented, enabling secure, two-way cross-chain interactions via a wormhole. This solution opens access to the Solana ecosystem for Dogecoin and enhances the security of PoW networks. Both platforms will be able to independently verify each other's transactions and consensus without the need for intermediaries.
In addition to technical announcements, the conference traditionally serves as a platform for new Dogecoin developers and enthusiasts. The event will be held at the Hilton Hotel, where leading ecosystem builders will gather. The previous DogeCon in November 2024 in Bangkok, organized alongside DevCon, brought together thousands of memecoin enthusiasts under one roof.
Organizers note that the unification of PoW and PoS is a key step toward scaling the industry. PoW networks gain access to Solana's high speed and low transaction costs, while PoS platforms can leverage the liquidity of Dogecoin, with a market cap of over $35 billion, and additional security guarantees.
Psy Protocol CEO Carter Feldman emphasized that the partnership with Solana unlocks Dogecoin's full potential. He stated that "To the moon" is no longer a joke but a solvable engineering problem.
