About Dogecoin

Dogecoin (DOGE) is an open-source cryptocurrency project launched in December 2013 as a satirical take on the rapid growth of the digital finance industry. Its creators, programmers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, incorporated the image of the famous Shiba Inu dog from Internet memes into the coin’s branding. Technically, the network is based on the Scrypt algorithm (a Proof-of-Work protocol) and largely builds on the architecture of Litecoin. Having evolved from a humorous experiment into one of the largest players in the crypto market, DOGE has gained massive support from a loyal community. Today, the asset is widely used for microtransactions and charitable initiatives, attracting particular attention from influential global business leaders.
