What Is Dogecoin (DOGE)?

Dogecoin is a proof-of-work cryptocurrency created by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer and launched in December 2013, with the Shiba Inu “Doge” meme as its mascot. Its code descends from Litecoin and Bitcoin: it mines with the Scrypt algorithm, targets one block per minute, and since 2014 has been merge-mined with Litecoin, so the same miners secure both networks.

DOGE is the native coin of the network. Each block pays a fixed reward of 10,000 DOGE, which adds about 5.3 billion coins a year, and there is no maximum supply. About 156.7 billion DOGE were in circulation as of November 2026, according to Blockchair. Fast blocks and low fees make DOGE a common choice for tips, payments, and small transfers. Our guide to the Dogecoin blockchain covers its history in more detail.

What Is a Dogecoin Wallet?

A Dogecoin wallet is an app that holds the private keys to your Dogecoin addresses and signs transactions with them. The coins are not inside the app: the blockchain records them as unspent outputs at your address, and your key unlocks them when you send. On an exchange the platform holds that key; in a self-custodial wallet you do.

Gem Wallet is a self-custodial Dogecoin wallet: it derives your Dogecoin address from a 12-word recovery phrase and keeps the key in Apple Keychain on an iPhone and in Google Tink on Android. The same phrase restores your DOGE together with every other network in the app, so keep it safe offline.

Gem Wallet is listed in the official wallet directory on dogecoin.com.

What a Dogecoin Transfer Costs

A Dogecoin transfer spends earlier outputs and creates new ones: one for the recipient and usually one for the change that returns to you. The fee is paid in DOGE and depends on the size of the transaction in bytes, not on the amount. Sending 10 DOGE or 100,000 DOGE from one output costs the same, while a payment assembled from many small deposits is larger and costs more.

Item	Amount
Recommended fee rate	0.01 DOGE per kilobyte
Minimum relay fee	0.001 DOGE per kilobyte
Median fee, 24 hours to November 13, 2026	0.034 DOGE, about $0.002
Average fee, 24 hours to November 13, 2026	0.29 DOGE, about $0.018
Block target	1 minute

Data source: Dogecoin Core fee recommendation and Blockchair network statistics, as of November 2026.

Nodes also reject outputs below 0.001 DOGE as dust, so a very small amount cannot be sent on its own.

Gem Wallet builds the transaction, calculates the fee, and shows it before you confirm. You can choose a Normal or Fast fee, or set a custom fee rate when you want a payment to confirm sooner during busy periods.

Dogecoin Address Format

A regular Dogecoin address starts with D and is 34 characters long (for example D7Y5…kq9R). Multisignature addresses start with 9 or A. Your Gem Wallet address is a D address on the standard path m/44’/3’/0’/0/0, it stays the same every time you open the app, and Gem Wallet can send to both formats.

Dogecoin addresses need no memo or tag, so an exchange withdrawal only needs the address and the Dogecoin network. A D address exists only on Dogecoin: Gem Wallet checks that the address you paste is a valid Dogecoin address before you send, and you should never send DOGE to an address of another network or send tokens from Ethereum, BNB Chain, or Tron to a Dogecoin address.

Buy, Sell, and Swap DOGE in Gem Wallet

Gem Wallet lets you buy Dogecoin with a bank card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay through on-ramp providers, with the coins delivered to your own D address, and sell DOGE for fiat through providers in the app.

Gem Wallet also lets you swap DOGE for coins on other networks, such as BTC, ETH, or USDT. These swaps cross networks, so they run through cross-chain providers such as THORChain and finish after the Dogecoin network confirms your transaction. Gem Wallet shows the amount you receive and the provider before you confirm, and you can pick another provider when more than one has quoted.

Download Gem Wallet for iOS, Android, or APK, and it gives you a self-custodial Dogecoin wallet with your own D address.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dogecoin fees depend on the size of the transaction in bytes, not on the amount sent. Dogecoin Core recommends 0.01 DOGE per kilobyte, and a simple payment is well under a kilobyte. In the 24 hours to November 13, 2026, the median fee on the network was 0.034 DOGE, about $0.002. Gem Wallet shows the fee before you confirm and lets you choose Normal, Fast, or a custom fee.

A regular Dogecoin address starts with D and is 34 characters long. Multisignature addresses start with 9 or A. One D address receives all your DOGE and needs no memo or tag. A Dogecoin address works only on the Dogecoin network.

Copy your Dogecoin address from Gem Wallet (it starts with D), paste it into the withdrawal form of the exchange, and choose the Dogecoin network. No memo is needed. The DOGE arrives once the transaction is in a block, usually within a few minutes, since Dogecoin targets one block per minute.

The Dogecoin network targets one new block every minute, so a transaction with a normal fee usually gets its first confirmation within a minute or two. Exchanges and merchants decide how many confirmations they wait for before crediting a deposit. A higher fee helps when many transactions compete for the next blocks.

Yes, with its recovery phrase. Gem Wallet derives the Dogecoin address from the phrase on the standard path m/44’/3’/0’/0/0. Import by a single private key is not available for Dogecoin, so use the recovery phrase of your wallet.

DOGE can be held in any wallet that supports the Dogecoin network and controls a Dogecoin address. Gem Wallet is a self-custodial DOGE wallet for iOS and Android that holds Dogecoin under one 12-word recovery phrase, together with assets on more than 100 other blockchains. The code is open-source on GitHub.

When you create a Dogecoin wallet in Gem Wallet, you get a 12-word secret recovery phrase. Write it down on paper and keep it offline, never in a screenshot or a website form. The phrase restores your Dogecoin address and DOGE on any device. If you lose the phrase, no one can recover it for you.
