Dogechain Remembers - The Renaissance šØ
š¤© With the $DC token and mainnet up and running, the excitement for the #Dogechain network was rising exponentially.
š¶ Hundreds of projects and tokens were deploying on the chain, increasing the number of use cases for #DOGE with each new dApp.
š§āš» In the meantime, the Dogechain dev team was working on a major use case for $DC tokens - Governance.
As a community-first project, it was the logical step towards involving token holders more closely in the decision-making process.
š³ The result was Dogegress, a decentralized governance platform.
š
Released on Sep 22 2022, this app initially allowed $DC holders to use their tokens for voting on crucial advancements in the protocol, including grants, tokenomics changes, and general direction.
āØ And soon enough, a vote on major a tokenomics change was introduced - The Great Burn of 2022.
š£ Following extensive feedback from the Dogechain community, this governance proposal aimed to align the long-term vision of the project with all tokenholders.
To achieve this, the community voted to burn no less than 80% of the total unreleased supply of $DC tokens!
After an exciting week, the vote passed with an overwhelming majority (99%!) in favor of the burn. š
š„ This resulted in the historic Great Burn on October 31 2022, one of the largest ever recorded in the blockchain industry!
š Proof:
š The Dogechain team irrevocably destroyed 800 billion $DC tokens, improving the long-term optics of the project for existing and future ecosystem participants.
#ļøā£ This event spurred even more interest in the project, allowing it to trend on major social platforms for several weeks in a row.
However, many great things were yet to come! š
