Résumé exécutif

Built as a fork of Luckycoin (which derived from Litecoin), Dogecoin evolved into a globally recognized tipping and payment asset.

Fonctionnement & Architecture

Scrypt Proof-of-Work & Auxiliary Mining

Dogecoin uses the Scrypt hashing algorithm for Proof-of-Work consensus.

In 2014, Dogecoin enabled Auxiliary Proof-of-Work (AuxPoW), allowing miners to mine both Litecoin and Dogecoin simultaneously without incurring extra electricity costs, bolstering network security.

Inflationary Fixed-Block Reward Emission

Unlike Bitcoin’s hard supply limit, Dogecoin has a permanent annual inflation model issuing 5.256 billion DOGE per year (10,000 DOGE per block every minute).

This constant absolute emission rate creates a gradually declining relative inflation percentage, encouraging active spending rather than hoarding.
