In summer 2024 DOGS handed out coins just for how old your account was. Today the app holds three games built around one dog, an NFT collection and tournaments with cash prizes.
The mascot is Spotty, a dog Pavel Durov drew for a charity auction back in his VK days. The mini app went live on July 3, 2024 and at first asked for no taps and no tasks: coins were credited for account age, activity and Telegram Premium.
Stray Clash came out in July 2026 and has been open to everyone without invites since September. It's a card battler: you build a deck and climb the leagues, and when friends join through you, you get 30% of what they spend in Stars. TickX arrived in September: you watch a chart and call where the price will land. Disc Trickster runs week-long tournaments, with a $1,500 pool in the summer and $1,000 in August.
The first DOGS NFT drop sold out in an hour, and in June it got masks in four colors. For the project's second birthday the app sold 7 new attributes for 24 hours, 50 of each at 5 TON apiece. And in August the dog became a playable character in Otherside, the metaverse from the team behind Bored Ape Yacht Club.
$DOGS is supported by Revolut and the Aster exchange, the project has launched its own Visa cards, and big holders got access to private chats. Disc Trickster tournaments are run together with wallet makers: the GEME edition played for cash, while the ERA Wallet edition gave away DOGS-branded hardware wallets, and $DOGS can now be stored offline on them.
