> An open-source cryptocurrency for peer-to-peer payments

Dogecoin is an open-source cryptocurrency designed for sending and receiving payments over a decentralized network. People use DOGE to transfer value between wallets, tip creators and community members, donate to causes, and pay merchants that accept it. Transactions are recorded on a public blockchain maintained by independent nodes, with miners confirming transfers through proof of work.

To get started, users choose a compatible wallet, secure its keys and backups, and share a receiving address when they want to be paid. Dogecoin Core combines a desktop wallet with software for running a full node, while other wallets offer different device and custody options. The official website provides wallet listings and guides covering setup, transactions, backups, mining, and how the network operates.
