DogeCon 2025 Will Present the Solana-Doge Bridge and Combine PoW and PoS Mechanisms

• DogeCon 2025 will take place on December 11.
• The launch of the bridge between Solana and Dogecoin will be the centerpiece of the event.
• It will combine the capabilities of PoW and PoS.

The Psy Protocol team has announced the return of DogeCon 2025, which will take place on December 11 in Abu Dhabi alongside Solana Breakpoint, with a focus on combining Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS) capabilities. This is stated in a press release shared by the event representatives with Incrypted.

According to the release, Solana Foundation, Bitmain, Litecoin, Wormhole, Meteora, Orca, G20, Metaplex, and Psy Protocol have already confirmed their participation in the event.

According to the organizers, this year’s DogeCon will bring together PoW and PoS leaders in one space: Lily Liu, President of Solana Foundation, and Miranda Ma, Ecosystem Manager at Bitmain, will take the stage together for the first time to discuss how to increase the utility of PoW networks with Solana technologies.

According to the event team, one of the key technical announcements will be the long-awaited Solana-Doge bridge created by Psy Protocol. It gives Dogecoin a programmable level of execution without changing its PoW consensus.

The statement emphasized that this turns Dogecoin into a global decentralized asset and settlement layer where transactions are protected by Proof-of-Work and execution is carried out through the Solana virtual machine. In this way, PoW assets can be used in DeFi, automated payments, and NFT mining.

The event will also show a demo of a full-fledged Dogecoin lite node running on Solana, which provides secure (trustless) two-way communication between Dogecoin and Solana via Wormhole, the organizers said.

With these developments, Dogecoin — the largest memecoin in the world — gains access to Solana’s application ecosystem, and Solana gains access to PoW security. Now, both networks can “communicate” directly, independently verifying each other’s transactions and consensus without relying on third-party intermediaries, the press release said.

According to the representatives of the event, DogeCon will traditionally become a platform for new Dogecoin developers.

The venue is Hilton Hotel, which will bring together the leading builders of the Doge ecosystem.

The previous DogeCon, which took place in November 2024 in Bangkok alongside DevCon, was the first conference to bring thousands of Dogecoin fans together under one roof.

The organizers noted that bridging the ideological gap between PoW and PoS is the key to scaling the industry. PoW networks, like Dogecoin, have access to Solana’s speed and low cost, while PoS networks can tap into Dogecoin’s liquidity, with a market capitalization of over $35 billion, and enhanced security guarantees.
