Plug Wallet adds Dogecoin support with new ICP-native ckDOGE token

Plug Wallet has announced new support for Dogecoin (DOGE) alongside ckDOGE, an ICP-native token designed to track DOGE’s value on a one-to-one basis.

The update is aimed at expanding access for users who want to interact with Dogecoin across multiple networks, including the Internet Computer (ICP) ecosystem and other chains such as Solana. For Plug Wallet, the move reflects a broader push towards making popular assets easier to use in decentralised environments without forcing users to rely on complex workarounds.

Dogecoin, originally created as a light-hearted cryptocurrency, has grown into one of the most widely recognised digital assets, with an active community and continued interest from retail traders. Adding DOGE support gives Plug Wallet users another familiar option alongside existing tokens.

The announcement also draws attention to ckDOGE, described as a token backed 1:1 that mirrors Dogecoin’s value while operating natively within the ICP network. Supporters say this structure could offer a way to bring DOGE into ICP-based applications without depending on traditional centralised bridges, which have often been criticised for security risks and custodial reliance.

Bridge-related vulnerabilities have been a recurring concern in crypto, with several high-profile exploits over the past few years. By promoting an ICP-native approach, Plug Wallet appears to be positioning ckDOGE as an alternative model for cross-chain access, though users will still be watching closely to see how the system performs over time.

For everyday users, the practical appeal lies in being able to hold and use Dogecoin-linked assets within the Plug Wallet interface while exploring decentralised apps across supported networks. It may also open the door for DOGE holders to participate in ICP-based services without needing to move assets through external bridging platforms.

As multi-chain activity continues to grow, wallets are increasingly competing on how smoothly they can connect users to different ecosystems. Plug Wallet’s addition of DOGE and ckDOGE fits into that trend, offering another route for users who want broader flexibility while keeping an eye on security and decentralisation.
