AboutWhat is Dogecoin?
Dogecoin began as a parody of the cryptocurrency boom but has grown into one of the most recognisable digital assets, with an active community and frequent endorsement from public figures. It uses Proof of Work mining (merge-mined with Litecoin) and has no maximum supply.
HistoryOrigin & evolution
Dogecoin was created in December 2013 by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, originally as a lighthearted alternative to Bitcoin featuring the Shiba Inu "Doge" meme. It saw a dramatic resurgence in 2021 driven by retail enthusiasm and high-profile social media attention, including from Elon Musk.
