Dogecoin

Both creators left active development in 2014. Since then a small group of Dogecoin Core maintainers, with more than 40 contributors over the years, has developed the open-source software on GitHub. Releases are infrequent: the latest is 1.14.9 from 1 December 2024. The Dogecoin Foundation was re-established in August 2021 to sponsor developers and hold the trademarks; it did not disclose treasury amounts. House of Doge, its corporate arm, went public through a deal with Nasdaq-listed Brag House Holdings in October 2025.

Dogecoin has no maximum supply. Every block after height 600,000 pays a fixed 10,000 DOGE to the miner, with no end date. At one block per minute this is about 5.26 billion DOGE a year, or about 3.4% of the roughly 156.1 billion supply; the rate falls slowly as supply grows. The genesis block paid 88 DOGE and the code shows no allocation to a company or team. A 2025 community proposal to cut the reward was closed and the schedule is unchanged.

On 27 September 2026 Blockchair reported about 22,900 transactions in 24 hours, about 422 million in total, about 500 reachable nodes and an average fee of about $0.03. Dogecoin uses Scrypt proof of work and has accepted merged mining since 2014, so most hashrate comes from pools that also mine Litecoin, tying its security to that industry. Futures made up about 89% of DOGE/USDT volume on Binance and Bybit on 27 September 2026, a single-day snapshot.
