Dogecoin News Today: Dogecoin Upgrades With ZKP Boost As RTX Emerges With Real-World Utility

Dogecoin developers have proposed a significant upgrade to the Dogecoin Core protocol by integrating native zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) verification [1]. This technical enhancement aims to enable private and scalable transactions, potentially transforming Dogecoin from a meme-based token into a smart contract-ready blockchain platform. The news triggered a more than 6% price increase in DOGE this week [2], as investors speculate on whether this upgrade could help Dogecoin compete with established smart contract chains like Solana (SOL) and Binance Smart Chain (BNB).

Solana continues to dominate in speed and efficiency, recently securing a major partnership with Visa to expand its stablecoin settlement pilot [3]. SOL's price has risen 3.1% to around $150, with analysts noting a potential "cup and handle" formation on its weekly chart that could push the price toward $500 or even $1,000 [4]. Its low gas fees and growing cross-chain compatibility keep it a top choice for investors seeking high-performance blockchain infrastructure [5].

Meanwhile, Binance Coin (BNB) remains resilient at approximately $570, despite ongoing legal challenges in the U.S. Binance has introduced an AI trading assistant within its app and expanded DeFi activity on the BNB Chain [6]. Analysts have observed a breakout from a year-long trading channel, suggesting a 35% upside potential toward $1,100 if the trend continues [7].

Amid the competition, a new project, Remittix (RTX), is emerging as a strong contender with a focus on real-world utility rather than speculative hype. RTX has revealed its mobile-first wallet ahead of a planned Q3 launch, and the platform is built natively for smart contracts—unlike Dogecoin, which is retrofitting such features. The project has already passed a security audit by CertiK and offers real-time foreign exchange conversion and 20% referral rewards [8]. RTX is positioned as a practical solution for global money transfers and staking, addressing gaps that both DOGE and SOL/BNB have yet to fully cover [9].

While Dogecoin’s ZKP proposal is a bold technical move, it still faces the challenge of attracting developers and building live applications to compete with established chains. In contrast, Remittix has already achieved key milestones and is gaining traction through tangible offerings and a $250,000 giveaway to drive adoption [10]. For investors looking for long-term value and real utility, RTX is presenting a compelling case as a potential breakout project in 2025.
