What is Dogecoin? The project was founded in 2013 by Jackson Palmer and Billy Markus. It is a cryptocurrency with the Proof of Work (PoW) consensus algorithm, which was created as a joke based on the popular meme of the same name with a picture of a Shiba Inu dog. Dogecoin is based on a fork of the Bitcoin network - Litecoin - with high transaction speed and low fees.

Earlier, it became known that Elon Musk's company The Boring Company would begin to accept DOGE to pay for trips in the service Loop, located in Las Vegas.
