What is Dogecoin (DOGE)?

Dogecoin (DOGE), the cryptocurrency born as a joke, has evolved into a market phenomenon with a passionate global community and a unique charm that sets it apart. Launched in December 2013 by software engineers Jackson Palmer and Billy Markus, the DOGE token was designed as a fun, user-friendly alternative to the complexity of Bitcoin.

Built on a decentralized, open-source blockchain, Dogecoin facilitates fast and low-cost digital payments, making it ideal for tipping, crowdfunding, and microtransactions. Despite its playful beginnings, the meme coin has become one of the most valuable cryptocurrencies by market cap.
