(DINGO)

Dingocoin is a decentralized, fair-launch cryptocurrency that operates on its own Layer 1 blockchain using the Scrypt algorithm. Launched in April 2021 as a fork of Dogecoin, it aims to fulfill the "Satoshi vision" of electronic cash. The project focuses on providing a mobile-first payment solution with low transaction fees, positioning itself as a practical tool for real-world peer-to-peer transactions rather than just a speculative asset.

While sharing a common heritage with Dogecoin, Dingocoin distinguishes itself through the "Geelong Upgrade," which aims to boost network throughput from 33 to over 330 transactions per second (TPS). It focuses heavily on mainstream adoption through unique infrastructure like "The Flip App." Unlike many meme-themed projects that exist only as tokens on other chains, Dingocoin maintains its own independent blockchain with dedicated mining security.

Dingocoin utilizes a fair-launch model with no pre-mine, ICO, or team allocations, ensuring all coins are earned through mining. It features a fixed emission of 10,000 DINGO per 1-minute block, providing a predictable inflation rate. The network is secured through Merged Mining (AuxPoW), allowing miners of other major Scrypt-based networks to simultaneously secure Dingocoin. This provides the blockchain with high-level security backed by significant global mining hardware.

The Flip App is a non-custodial mobile wallet designed to simplify cryptocurrency use for the general public. It allows users to send DINGO to any phone number globally, regardless of whether the recipient already has a wallet. The app facilitates fiat-to-crypto purchases via credit cards and supports various utilities, including peer-to-peer payments, tipping, and access to an NFT marketplace, serving as the core of Dingocoin's mass adoption strategy.

While the native Dingocoin blockchain is UTXO-based and does not support complex smart contracts, the project utilizes "Wrapped Dingocoin" (wDingocoin) for cross-chain compatibility. wDingocoin exists as a token on the BNB Chain and other major smart-contract-enabled networks. These versions are exchangeable 1:1 with the native coin via decentralized community bridges, allowing DINGO to participate in the broader DeFi and Web3 ecosystems.

Dingocoin operates without a central authority or CEO, following a "Do-ocracy" model where the community leads development. The project is maintained by volunteers known as "Guardians" who manage the code and infrastructure. Instead of a rigid roadmap, the project follows a "Trailmap," focusing on community-driven goals such as the Geelong mainnet upgrade for higher transaction speeds and expanding integration with global payment merchants.
