According to ChainCatcher news from @songdoge on X, the Cardinals Index Node is now open, allowing anyone to run a Node to maintain and verify the Dogecoin on-chain ledger, and emphasizing “complete Decentralization.”
He stated that this breakthrough is not limited to Dogecoin: it unlocks similar smart contract functionality for any UTXO-based blockchain (including Bitcoin) - without the need for EVM or Layer 2.
The upcoming upgrade to an index speed of 500 milliseconds will make the UTXO Node faster, more programmable, and ready for the next generation of on-chain applications.
