This is after Dogs of Elon had announced on November 16, that NFT staking was available in their platform and owners can stake their NFTs to earn rewards in addition to their DOE, in addition, the team is also working on a play-to-earn DOE game.

Dogs of Elon game

This game resembles Atari’s classic Spaceship game, where players will be shooting the enemy Spaceships to progress through the levels. This development of a blockchain play-to-earn game will make Dogs of Elon valuation reach a new all-time high.

However, there are rumors that DOE decentralized exchange is coming soon after the team tweeted a blurred-out image that looked like an exchange dashboard on November 13.

The Dogs of Elon team has been working on several projects to progress the existing platform. However, DOE’s price has been struggling for the past couple of weeks.
