Description

Dogecoin is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency based on a web meme, it started the phenomenon of "meme coins", projects that do not focus on a particular technological underlying, but whose demand is often driven by speculation about its price and its community's attachment to the project. Dogecoin has gained significant popularity and an active user following due to its community.

It was created in December 2013 by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer. It was introduced as a "meme" cryptocurrency, taking its name from the popular Internet meme "Doge." Despite its humble origins, Dogecoin has gained considerable popularity and a community of active users.

Recently, Dogecoin has caught the attention of Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, who is known for his comments on various cryptocurrencies. Musk has frequently expressed his support for Dogecoin on social media, which has led to significant fluctuations in the cryptocurrency's price.

Technology

Dogecoin uses a proof-of-work consensual protocol, similar to that of Bitcoin. However, unlike Bitcoin, Dogecoin has a one-minute block time, allowing for faster transaction. 

It is important to note that Dogecoin does not have a maximum supply limit, which means that miners can continue to mine new DOGE indefinitely. This is in contrast to other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, which have a maximum supply limit.

Miners are rewarded with new DOGE for each block they add to the blockchain. This incentivizes miners to continue supporting the network, ensuring the security and speed of transactions.
