## What Is Dogecoin (DOGE)?

Dogecoin is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency launched in 2013 by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, built around the Shiba Inu "Doge" meme to make crypto friendlier and more approachable than Bitcoin. It runs on its own proof-of-work blockchain that uses the Scrypt algorithm and produces a new block roughly every minute, giving DOGE fast, low-cost transactions well suited to tipping, payments, and micro-transfers. Since 2014 Dogecoin has been merge-mined with Litecoin, letting miners secure both networks at once.

Unlike capped coins, Dogecoin is intentionally inflationary: a fixed block reward of 10,000 DOGE adds roughly 5 billion new coins to the supply every year, with no maximum cap. As of early 2026 Dogecoin remains one of the largest cryptocurrencies by market value and one of the most recognized digital currencies in the world, driven by an active community and broad merchant acceptance.

## What Is a Dogecoin Wallet?

A Dogecoin wallet is an app that lets you create, import, and use a DOGE address to store, send, and receive Dogecoin without leaving your coins on an exchange. Because Dogecoin is a UTXO coin like Bitcoin, you keep a small amount of DOGE on hand to cover the tiny network fee on each transfer. A self-custodial Dogecoin wallet means the private keys stay on your device, so you - and only you - control the funds.

Gem Wallet is a self-custodial Dogecoin wallet for iOS, Android, and APK. It gives you a DOGE address from a single 12-word recovery phrase, lets you send and receive Dogecoin in seconds, and never asks for an email, account, or KYC. Gem Wallet is open-source and independently audited, so anyone can verify how it protects your keys.
