What is Dogecoin?

Dogecoin began as a light-hearted cryptocurrency and developed a substantial online community. DOGE can be sent peer to peer and is often used for tipping and small transfers, though speculative trading is common.

02 / UNDER THE HOOD

Technology & network design

Dogecoin is a proof-of-work blockchain related technically to Litecoin. New DOGE continues to be issued, rather than following Bitcoin’s fixed 21-million maximum supply.

03 / THE ECOSYSTEM

How it is used

Community tipping, merchant experimentation, low-value transfers and internet culture.

04 / THE BIG PICTURE

What makes it different

Its meme origins and active community are a major part of its identity; Dogecoin is not primarily a smart-contract platform.

05 / KNOW THE RISKS

Risks & trade-offs

High speculative volatility, limited intrinsic cash flows, social-media-driven price movements and user custody risk.
