Unlike most other mainstream cryptocurrencies, Dogecoin was created in 2013 as a light-hearted joke by software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer. It took inspiration from the popular "Doge" meme, featuring the Shiba Inu dog breed, and gained rapid popularity online.

How does Dogecoin work?

To understand how Dogecoin operates, it is important to understand its core mechanisms.

Blockchain

Dogecoin operates on its own blockchain, a decentralised ledger that records all transactions. There a range of technical elements that help Dogecoin to stand out from its competitors:

  • Proof of Work (PoW): Similar to Bitcoin, Dogecoin uses a Proof of Work consensus mechanism. Miners solve complex mathematical puzzles to validate transactions and secure the network.
  • Scrypt algorithm: Dogecoin employs the Scrypt algorithm, which is more accessible to the average user and is also less energy-intensive compared to Bitcoin's SHA-256 algorithm.
  • Block time: Dogecoin has a fast block time of one minute, meaning that transactions are confirmed quickly.

Transactions

First and foremost, Dogecoin functions as a digital currency. It is possible to send Dogecoin globally, both quickly and affordably, without relying on a centralised bank or being forced to pay expensive fees.

To make transactions with Dogecoin, follow these steps:

  • Get a wallet: First, you need a Dogecoin-friendly wallet to store your coins securely. You can choose from a variety of wallets, including desktop, mobile and online options.
  • Receive DOGE: Share your Dogecoin wallet address with the sender to receive DOGE. Each wallet has a unique address for receiving funds.
  • Send DOGE: To send Dogecoin, enter the recipient's wallet address and the amount you wish to send. Review the transaction details and confirm.

Remember, always conduct thorough research and exercise caution when investing in any digital asset!
