What is canonical when we say "Dogenals" on this site?
Canonical means the standards corpus published at dogenals.org. Product and UI language map to that standards tree.
Technical FAQ
Geek-mode companion to the normie-friendly homepage. All protocol references map to dogenals.org.

No. Dojak is a first-party proprietary wallet product implementation. The standard remains open and implementation-neutral at dogenals.org.
The standards target Dogecoin L1-native behavior. The core positioning is no bridge dependency for canonical state.
If a wallet treats all UTXOs as generic spendable coins, it can accidentally spend outputs carrying protocol-sensitive state (inscriptions, offers, metadata links, and related commitments).
Default coin selection excludes protocol-sensitive UTXOs, override paths require explicit confirmation, and send flows show impact warnings before signature steps.
No wallet can eliminate all risk, but protocol-aware UTXO classification and explicit confirmations materially reduce accidental state-damaging spends.
Independent implementations should follow normative rules and vectors at dogenals.org so separate indexers can converge on consistent protocol state.
Normie flows should hide jargon. Advanced surfaces can expose these terms for power users, auditors, and builders.
Because the standards are public, versioned, and reviewable, product behavior can evolve transparently while preserving independent implementation paths.
No. The standards are intentionally open so anyone can build. The site positions Dojak as the flagship UX implementation, not the only valid implementation.
The protocol layer is open/public; the product layer (design, integrations, delivery quality) is proprietary. This keeps interoperability open while shipping a polished first-party experience.
Homepage messaging is intentionally normie-first to onboard mainstream users. This technical FAQ exists for deep-dive readers, builders, and auditors.
