DOGS memecoin releases roadmap for first half of 2025
DOGS, a memecoin built on The Open Network (TON), has released its roadmap for the first half of 2025, outlining plans for DOGS-based games, community engagement through local charities, and expanded payment use cases for the DOGS token.
According to the roadmap, users will have the option to use their DOGS tokens, inspired by Telegram founder Pavel Durov's drawing of a dog, later this year for online and offline purchases such as gift cards and travel bookings.
Individuals can register local chapters of non-profit organizations to facilitate philanthropic work supported by the community's $4.5 million philanthropic contribution with $6 billion in unclaimed DOGS tokens.
The DOGS community recently told Cointelegraph that one of its partnerships with charity groups includes Best Friends Animal Society, which houses homeless animals in the United States.
This community outreach highlights the use case for memecoins, which analysts criticize as lacking utility, value and real-world purpose.

DOGS broke records and dropped a ton
In September, the Ton Community announced that the DOGS token was held by 4.5 million unique owners, making it the meme token with the most unique owners to date.
According to Toon Community at the time, “53 million users are engaged with the DOGS Mini app and 42.2 million are eligible for the token climate,” which is the largest meme token generation event in history at the time.
The meteoric popularity of the DOGS Telegram mini app and users flocking to mint DOGS tokens has led Ton to discontinue production twice.
In the year On August 28, 2024, Ton experienced its first DOGS-related outage due to unusually high network congestion by onchain users claiming DOGS tokens during the airdrop and stopped producing blocks for several hours.
The second outage occurred a day later on August 29 and lasted for six hours before block production resumed.
Ton experienced a total downtime of 12 hours in a 36-hour period due to the large amount of users claiming memecoin.
