DogeOS opened its Chikyu public testnet on September 30, and the network is set up as an EVM-compatible environment for building applications around DOGE. The rollout still uses validators, a TEE, and a permissioned sequencer, while native verification waits on a proposed Dogecoin Core upgrade that has not been implemented.

What it means

Who it affects, what changes and what is still unconfirmed

Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.

Before this, there was no public Chikyu testnet for this application layer to use, and the new setup still relies on validators, a TEE, and a permissioned sequencer. What stays the same is that native verification has not been put in place, because that depends on a Dogecoin Core upgrade that is still unimplemented.
