Efficient NFT minting with Dogecoin
NFTs have been in the blockchain space for a while now and a major issue is that they’re not as cheap to create because of Ethereum costs.
NFTs minted on Dogecoin are remarkably inexpensive. They cost only $0.0018 per NFT, which represents a huge efficiency when compared with NFT minting on Ethereum.
Michi Lumin, a Dogecoin core dev, stated on Twitter that:
“You considering making a utility or something so that normal folks can do this? I think you should… I dunno, or integrate it into something so that people can build sites around it.. NFTs without the gas fees and less energy usage. V. nice. Also Doge. Wow.”
Is Dogecoin still a meme coin?
The DOGE currency was created to be a “joke” currency with a doge meme theme. But looking at the recent developments, maybe it is something we should take seriously from now on.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that the automaker will begin accepting dogecoin (DOGE) for merchandise purchases.
