The Dogecoin Manifesto was established to define the core values of the Dogecoin developer community, and to set a north-star for policy making and technical decision and prioritisation.
It is believed that by honestly and in good faith aligning future decisions both technical and social to these core values, Dogecoin can remain true to itself and to its purpose as a fun and simple currency for all of humanity.
The Manifesto is provided to meet the above purpose for all Shibes contributing in any way to the Dogecoin community and ecosystem. You should feel empowered to use the four pillars of the manifesto to guide you as you build, champion, represent and communicate Dogecoin with the world. Do Only Good Everyday!
We are Dogecoin, the accidental crypto-movement that makes people smile.
We are developing a currency for the people,
and we strive to do only good everyday.
Through this work we have come to value:
Being useful, we value utility over technical brilliance.
Being personable, we value individuals and interactions over profit-driven economics.
Being welcoming, we value collaboration and trust over competition and exclusivity.
Being reliable, we value working solutions over speed of delivery.
That is, while there is value in the items on
the right, we value the items on the left more.
