Clear crypto education
The internet's most recognizable meme coin.
Dogecoin began as a joke, then grew into a large open network used for tips, payments, and community-driven projects.
Origin story
Built by: Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer
Dogecoin started as a light-hearted fork of Litecoin using the Shiba Inu meme. The joke caught on, and an open community built real tipping, fundraising, and payment use around it.
What makes it different
Dogecoin shares Scrypt proof of work with Litecoin and has been merge-mined with Litecoin since 2014. Its monetary policy does not have a fixed maximum supply.
Not the same as: a guarantee, a bank account, or a customer-service payment rail.
How a transaction becomes real
Supply and incentives
Dogecoin uses ongoing issuance rather than a 21-million-style cap. After its early schedule, the protocol pays 10,000 DOGE per block, so supply grows over time.
Use it safely
Meme popularity is not a security review or a promise of value. DOGE transfers are normally irreversible, and fake giveaways and impersonator accounts are common around well-known meme brands.
Verify it yourself
A block explorer lets you inspect public transactions, blocks, addresses, and fees. Never paste a recovery phrase or private key into one.
