What is Dogecoin?

An open-source peer-to-peer digital currency, favoured by Shiba Inus worldwide.

At its heart, Dogecoin is the accidental crypto movement that makes people smile! It is also an opensource peer-to-peer cryptocurrency that utilises blockchain technology, a highly secure decentralised system of storing information as a public ledger that is maintained by a network of computers called nodes.
