A new Dogecoin DOGE/USD-knockoff called “Doge-1” that celebrates the DOGE-1 moon landing was announced Sunday.
What Happened: The Doge-1 token on the BSC Blockchain describes itself as a deflationary token that dishes out rewards in DOGE.
The project linked to Doge-1 said in a statement that the token comes with “investor protection” and there’s a limit on “how many tokens a wallet can hold and transact.”
The launch of yet another DOGE knockoff takes place amid warnings issued by Dogecoin co-creator Billy Markus. He broached the topic Sunday in a tweet.

Why It Matters: In May, a Canadian company, Geometric Energy Corporation, announced the "DOGE-1 Mission to the Moon" aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
SpaceX is headed by Tesla Inc TSLA CEO and DOGE-bull Elon Musk.
This is not the first time Markus has commented on Dog-themed rivals of his co-creation. Earlier in December, he had laid out the differences between Shiba Inu (SHIB) and DOGE, the latter is a token on the Ethereum (ETH) network. At the time Markus, had pointed to the high transaction costs attached with SHIB.
Markus' warnings aside, some knock-off coins like ShibaDoge (SHIBDOGE) and Black Shiba Inu (SHIBB) have risen 610.1% and 164.4% over the last 30 days.
DOGE has dropped 19.7% in the last 30 days. Since the year began, it has fallen 20.7%.
Price Action: At press time, DOGE traded 3.6% lower over 24 hours at $0.14.
