- Charles Hoskinson renewed his offer to help Elon Musk upgrade Dogecoin and make it X’s official currency.
- He plans to use his old “Bitcoin 2” roadmap to boost Dogecoin’s scalability, speed, and reliability.
- Despite no response from Musk yet, Hoskinson says he’s still ready and excited to collaborate.
Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, is once again reaching out to Elon Musk with an offer to upgrade Dogecoin. Months after first proposing a technical overhaul in March 2025, Hoskinson has reaffirmed his readiness to help make Dogecoin the official currency of X (formerly Twitter). When a community member resurfaced his earlier pitch, Hoskinson replied that he’s still eager to build it — calling the idea “fun” and a chance to create something lasting for the X ecosystem.
The Plan: A “Bitcoin 2” Roadmap
Hoskinson originally proposed using his old “Bitcoin 2” roadmap as a foundation for transforming Dogecoin. The goal would be to enhance the meme coin’s efficiency, scalability, and reliability to handle millions of transactions seamlessly across X’s payment system. Despite months of silence from Musk’s camp, Hoskinson hasn’t given up. He says the project could blend Cardano’s proven tech with Dogecoin’s cultural energy — a mix he believes could redefine crypto usability on social platforms.
Previous Collaboration Attempts
This isn’t Hoskinson’s first offer to Musk. He once proposed a free blockchain solution for the Department of Government Efficiency initiative, which focused on transparent government spending. That plan was designed to use Bitcoin, Cardano, and its Midnight sidechain to track public funds securely. Though the project never materialized, Hoskinson’s persistence in offering scalable blockchain solutions to Musk highlights his ambition to align with major tech innovation.
Will Musk Finally Say Yes?
Elon Musk has long been Dogecoin’s biggest cheerleader, calling it “the people’s crypto” and integrating it into Tesla payments for select merchandise. Still, despite years of hints, Dogecoin hasn’t made its way into X’s payment system — not even in the recent X Money beta. Whether Hoskinson’s revived proposal finally gets Musk’s attention remains to be seen, but one thing’s certain: if they team up, the Dogecoin we know today could be reborn into something far bigger than a meme.
