The Doge NFT — “Do Only Good Everyday” with $DOG
$DOG is the fractionalized Doge NFT. As owners of the original Doge meme, our goal is to spread messages of Good, Wacky Fun and Collective Collaboration. That is why we’re donating to charities perpetually!

The World’s Incentives
As expressed in a famous quote by Gandhi- “there is enough on Earth for everybody’s need, but not for everyone’s greed”- due to people’s natural greed, today’s charities are seen as an expense, instead of something mutually beneficial.
- The biggest hurdle to spreading the good in the world is the fact that the incentives for helping charities are not in the right place.
- One of the biggest ideas of the crypto / Web3 space is the shift in incentives. From company- to community. From exploitation- to product. And from expense- to gain.
Angel Protocol, one of $DOG’s charity partners, is a good example of something that would’ve otherwise been impossible.
Doge — Do Only Good Everyday
The “Do Only Good Everyday” acronym for “Doge” was famously popularized by Dogecoin and its rise in 2021. Dogecoin was the first example of what a “tokenized community” can achieve, when incentives are in the right place- helping others and donating to charities.
- We, the $DOG DAO, as owners of the Doge meme itself, want to see “Doge” as a mascot for Good, Wacky Fun and Collective Collaboration.
- So we’ve set it as our goal to aid in any humanitarian crisis that’s happening in the world right now and to do so in perpetuity!
We’d like to see Doge turn into a symbol for doing good in the world, just like the Panda is a symbol for Animal Conservation.
The Donation Fund
When PleasrDAO fractionalized The Doge NFT into $DOG:
- Around $2.2 million was reserved for charity (5% of the ETH raised from the initial Miso Auction)
Most has already been donated to charities chosen by our community, but $500k is earning yield through Angel Protocol:
- Around $5000/week for charity, in perpetuity!
- $DOG holders vote where generated yield from Angel Protocol is donated every month.
