Another member of the Dogecoin community, Jens Wiechers, reacted to Markus. 

Dogechain is an unofficial project not affiliated with the famous meme coin or its founders. It's a blockchain project which aims to bridge the gap between Dogecoin and Web3. 

Earlier in August, Dogechain was launched by Ethereum ETH/USD-based developers to build decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFT), and other crypto-related products with DOGE.
