#DogecoinReserve $DOGE
Unlike centralized reserves (like those of fiat currencies), the Dogecoin Reserve would operate transparently on-chain, governed by the community through decentralized voting.
## **Why Dogecoin Needs a Reserve**
1. **Supply Management**: Dogecoin has an inflationary supply (5 billion new DOGE per year). A reserve could help balance issuance with demand.
2. **Sustainability**: A funding mechanism ensures long-term development without relying solely on donations.
3. **Trust & Stability**: A reserve could prevent extreme crashes and speculative bubbles, making DOGE more reliable for transactions.
