Dogelon Mars Recent Metaverse Updates

Dogelon Mars launches new metaverse features including Stripe purchases, sandbox mode, AI building tools, and Rufus Chain support for $ELON token.

Dogelon Mars, the memecoin-driven project behind the $ELON token, released a set of updates to its Mars metaverse, known as Dogelon: Land on Mars. The updates, announced in late September, include Stripe integration for credit and debit purchases, a private sandbox mode for building, a new in-game notification system, and simplified plot acquisition. These changes aim to enhance usability and encourage active participation in the metaverse.

Stripe Integration for Easier Credit Purchases

Dogelon: Land on Mars now allows users to top up their in-game credits directly through Stripe using a debit or credit card. This removes the need for separate crypto wallets for small transactions, streamlining access for new participants and making the platform more accessible to retail users.

Key points about Stripe integration:

• Supports debit and credit card payments.
• Credits automatically added to in-game balances.
• Simplifies land purchases, builder tools, and future metaverse applications.

Sandbox Mode for Private Building

A new sandbox environment allows users to explore Dogelon Mars’ 3D building capabilities without impacting the live metaverse. Each participant receives a 4×4 plot for testing designs, structures, and landscapes.

Sandbox highlights include:

• Private experimentation without publishing.
• Build and test AI-generated terrain and props.
• Ability to publish finalized creations to live plots.

This mode reduces the risk of errors on live plots while encouraging experimentation with modular builds and collaborative design.

In-Game Notification System

The metaverse now features a notification system to keep players informed in real-time about events, updates, and community announcements.

Benefits include:

• Notifications for game events or metaverse activities.
• Improved community engagement and user retention.

Plot Minting and Land Acquisition

Land in Dogelon: Land on Mars became available for minting on June 27. Each plot measures 69×69 in-world units and sits on the Rufus Chain. The chain enables transactions, 3D building, and future applications while burning gas fees in $ELON, reducing circulating supply.

Rufus Chain Features

• Layer-2 Network: Built on Arbitrum Nitro stack with Caldera partnership.
• Gas Burning: $ELON tokens are burned with every transaction.
• High Throughput: Optimized for frequent in-world actions.
• Native Bridge: Simple asset transfers between Ethereum mainnet and Rufus.
• DAO Governance: Supports proposals, treasury spend, and policy upgrades.

The Rufus Chain gives the Dogelon ecosystem sovereignty over transaction fees, tokenomics, and governance rules that would be difficult on generic Layer-2 solutions.

AI-Powered 3D Building Tools

Dogelon Mars introduced a text-to-3D builder that allows users to generate meshes, textures, and materials by typing commands. This tool eliminates the need for external modelling software like Blender or Maya.

Features of the AI builder include:

• AI Terrain Sculpting: Create craters, valleys, or city grids with natural-language commands.
• Prompt-to-Prop Pipeline: Generate furniture, flora, or modular bases quickly.
• Clustered Land Builds: Adjacent plots mint in blocks for collaborative projects.

Active land parcels are required to avoid being claimed under “Mars eminent domain,” encouraging ongoing engagement and activity within the metaverse.

Dogelon Mars is built around a fictional comic storyline featuring the character Dogelon, a canine-inspired figure navigating Mars colonization. This narrative drives engagement across platforms like X and Telegram and complements metaverse development by giving context to land ownership and project milestones.

Conclusion

Dogelon Mars’ recent metaverse updates enhance the user experience by simplifying payments, enabling private building, integrating AI-driven tools, and expanding governance mechanisms via Rufus Chain. The combination of AI-assisted 3D building, gas-burning mechanics, and community-driven tokenomics positions the platform as a flexible and technically capable ecosystem. The $ELON token and the Dogelon DAO continue to provide mechanisms for community participation, governance, and development within the Mars metaverse.
