Fast, low-cost payments & tipping
December 6, 2013
Dogecoin
Dogecoin (DOGE) began as a joke but has become a playful, fast, and low-cost digital currency used for tipping, sending small payments, and online fundraising. Unlike Bitcoin, it doesn’t cap its supply, adding around 5 billion DOGE each year — which keeps it abundant and inflationary by design.

Technology & Use Case
Dogecoin started as a fork of Litecoin and uses a proof-of-work mechanism with fast, one-minute block times. It’s ideal for microtransactions and online tipping thanks to its lightweight fees and speed.
Origins & Team
Created in December 2013 by software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, Dogecoin was intended as a satirical response to crypto hype and quickly gained a lively community around its meme-inspired branding.
Ecosystem & Partnerships
Dogecoin’s community focus has powered real-world campaigns: funding the Jamaican bobsled team, building water wells, and sponsoring NASCAR entries. It’s also embraced by merchants for small, friendly payments — all supported by an active, meme-loving community.
