Dogecoin
DOGEThe original internet meme cryptocurrency created as a lighthearted peer-to-peer payment token.
요약
Dogecoin is an open-source cryptocurrency launched in December 2013 by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer as a satirical commentary on internet memes and speculative altcoins. Built as a fork of Luckycoin (which derived from Litecoin), Dogecoin evolved into a globally recognized tipping and payment asset.
작동 방식 & 아키텍처
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.
