DogeFeed Goes On-Chain: D:// Protocol Is Live on Dogecoin Mainnet
Dek: Every DogeFeed post, comment and quote can now be written to Dogecoin as a signed inscription, with a live public log at dogefeed.app/d and records indexed on DogeFeed's explorer.

DogeFeed has launched D://, its on-chain social protocol, on Dogecoin mainnet. With D://, posts, comments and quotes made on DogeFeed are written to the Dogecoin blockchain as JSON inscriptions. Users who turn on Monetize get on-chain likes, branches and tips, paid in Dogecoin.
The first live D:// post came from DogeFeed founder Billy (@BillyXBT on X, @billy.dogefeed on DogeFeed): "We put the Ð in Ð://", inscribed in block 6449030.
How D:// works
Each D:// post, comment or quote is a JSON inscription tagged p:"D://". It carries two signatures:
- The author's signature (
aip), made with the author's own wallet, which proves who wrote it. - DogeFeed's registrar signature (
att, key iddfreg1), which proves the post came through DogeFeed.
With Monetize on, a like, branch or tip is a Dogecoin transaction with an 80-byte OP_RETURN that says what the action is and who it targets. Most of each payment goes straight to the post's author, and DogeFeed takes 0.10 DOGE.
Monetizing is optional. DogeFeed is free to use by default: likes, branches and tips cost nothing. Users who want to monetize their account can check the Monetize box in Settings, which is off by default. That turns on D:// on-chain mode, and only then do likes, branches and tips become on-chain Dogecoin payments.
Watch it happen live: dogefeed.app/d
DogeFeed also launched dogefeed.app/d, a full-screen, terminal-style log of every D:// action on the network, newest first. Each line shows the time (ET), the action, who did it, its target, the amount and how the payment was split. It also shows whether the transaction is pending or confirmed, with the block number and a Blockchair link. The log updates every few seconds, and anyone can search it by transaction ID, @handle or Dogecoin address.
Indexed on DogeFeed's explorer
DogeFeed's explorer at explorer.doginals.store/dfeed indexes every D:// record. As of block 6449745 it showed 12 valid records and 0 invalid. The first records were test vectors starting in block 6448293, followed by Billy's first post in block 6449030.
Safer wallets
Alongside D://, DogeFeed shipped a wallet safety upgrade:
- Encrypted on-device backups. If a device key goes missing, the wallet recovers automatically.
- Locked-down storage. Wallet storage is read-only except during sign-in, sign-out and recovery.
- Clean sign-out. Signing out shows a warning, then fully erases the wallet from the device.
DogeFeed never stores seed phrases or private keys. Users should keep their own backup of their recovery phrase.
Coming next: the D:// CLI
DogeFeed is building a D:// command-line tool. Users will link a CLI key once from inside the app, set spending caps, and revoke it in-app at any time. From the terminal they'll be able to post, comment, quote, like, branch, tip and follow. The CLI isn't released yet.
Q&A with founder Billy
What's the big idea behind D://?
"Real utility for Dogecoin. Doge has always had the community and the culture. D:// gives it a job to do every day. Every post you make is signed by your own wallet and lives on the Dogecoin chain."
What does it change for the people posting?
"It gives them a real chance to get monetized. Creators have spent years making value for platforms and getting little back. On DogeFeed there are two ways to earn. Pay-to-reveal is its own feature: you lock a post, people pay DOGE to unlock it, and you keep 90%. Separately, if you check the Monetize box in Settings, likes, branches and tips on your posts become on-chain DOGE payments, and most of each one goes to you. Either way, it's paid in DOGE, straight to your wallet."
You've said you want to flip the current model. What do you mean?
"Most social media runs on taking your attention and your content and selling it back to advertisers. We're turning that on its head. The people who post own their work, it's recorded on a public chain anyone can check, and the money goes to the creator first, not the platform."
Does that mean DogeFeed costs money now?
"No. DogeFeed is free by default. The Monetize box is off until you turn it on, so on-chain likes, branches and tips only happen if you choose them."
How can people check that it's real?
"Go to dogefeed.app/d. You can watch every D:// action as it happens, with block numbers and Blockchair links, and DogeFeed's explorer indexes it all too."
What about wallet safety?
"We never store your seed phrase or keys. Wallets now back up encrypted on your device, and signing out wipes the wallet from that device. Keep your recovery phrase backed up, because that part is yours to protect."
What's next?
"The D:// CLI. You'll link a key once from the app, set spending caps, and post right from your terminal. It isn't out yet, but it's on the way."
Try it
DogeFeed is free by default. To monetize your account, check the Monetize box in Settings at dogefeed.app, and watch the network live at dogefeed.app/d.
