Glossary

Dogecoin (L1)
The main Dogecoin network everyone means when they say “on-chain.” DRC-20 balances and inscriptions live here; DogeSoft’s Explorer and AMM read this layer first.

Doginals
A convention for inscriptions and collectibles on Dogecoin—digital artifacts carried in transactions. The Explorer and Pill surface them as things you can browse and spend, not only as raw tx data.

DRC-20
A token protocol on Dogecoin. Tickers, balances, and transfers follow rules the indexer and AMM both understand. Swaps and pools are about DRC-20 and DOGE pairs the product supports.

DogeOS (L2)
An EVM-style layer DogeSoft’s bridge can target for wrapped / counterpart assets. L1 and L2 are related by protocol, not “the same copy-paste address space.”

DogeSoft Explorer
DogeSoft’s public L1 explorer: blocks, addresses, Doginal activity, DRC-20 context, and ecosystem health. It is the glass the rest of the products look through, too.

Indexer (read model)
Software that follows the chain, stores what the ecosystem needs for fast queries, and exposes an HTTP API for apps. Not a place to “mine” or “stake” — it is read infrastructure.

Swap / AMM (DogeSoft)
The product family for quotes, swaps, and (where enabled) liquidity pools on Dogecoin L1, coordinated by DogeSoft’s services as documented publicly.

Bridge (DogeSoft)
The product that moves supported assets between Doge L1 and DogeOS under explicit deposit + mint / burn rules—see the Bridge page for the roles (L1 vs L2), not private procedures.

Pill (wallet)
DogeSoft’s user-facing wallet and hub: balances, send, inscriptions, swap integration, and many optional modules (play, earn, launchpad, marketplace, etc., as shipped).

Custodial vs non-custodial (high level)
- Non-custodial (typical self-custody): you hold the seed; the app signs your UTXO movements.
- Custodial / semi-operational (bridge, some coordinator paths): a service may hold a role key or see deposit addresses—always read the product page and in-app copy for the exact flow you are in.

Commit–reveal (wallet “quantum” style flows, where available)
A transaction pattern that splits “I’m serious” and “reveal the move” in a way the protocol can verify—product terminology in the wallet, not a claim about real quantum computers in your house.

Envelope (inscription standard v1)
A structured way DogeSoft labels inscription actions so the indexer, Explorer, and wallet can show human labels and route flows consistently. See Inscription standard v1.
