Earlier this week, DeFi project RenJS announced the renDOGE version, an ERC-20 version of DOGE in partnership with OpenDAO. The official announcement reads:
“If you’re a Dogecoin investor and long on the project, you can effectively take out a loan on your $DOGE, all made possible by OpenDAO. Once OpenDAO’s audits are complete, users will soon be able to put their $renDOGE to work as collateral to mint a dollar-pegged stablecoin ($DOGEO). With another first for RenVM, Dogecoin is no longer a meme coin; it is now a viable financial instrument in its own right, thanks to RenVM and OpenDAO.”
