Dogecoin

Dogecoin

Dogecoin (DOGE) was forked from Litecoin in 2013, from which it inherited the Scrypt mining algorithm. The Dogecoin network is configured to mine 1 block per minute. Dogecoin creates 10,000 DOGE per block. This entails that 14,400,400 new DOGE tokens are created per day.

Dogecoin can be accessed with the following coin types:

For Dogecoin, BitGo uses a 2-of-3 multisig P2SH scheme, with the keys in the order of User, Backup, and BitGo respectively.

You can create wallets with a single line of code using the BitGo SDK.

Balances

Dogecoin (DOGE) is the native asset of the Dogecoin blockchain. The base unit of Dogecoin is satoshi (or "sat"):

• 1 satoshi is (10-8) or 0.00000001 Dogecoin.
• 1 Dogecoin is (108) or 100000000 satoshis (100 million).

BitGo Dogecoin wallets can support maximum (2-63- 1) DOGE. Balances are supported only in string to ensure values do not exceed the programmable number limit: balanceString, confirmedBalanceString, and spendableBalanceString.
