DOGE Technology: Scrypt and Proof-of-Work
By July 2025, Dogecoin continues to operate on the basis of the Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus algorithm, using the Scrypt function, similar to its "relative" Litecoin. This algorithm was chosen to make mining more accessible and less demanding on specialized equipment (ASIC), although optimized ASIC miners have appeared over time for Scrypt as well. PoW provides reliable security for the network and its decentralization, as thousands of miners around the world compete for the right to add new blocks. The simplicity of the Dogecoin protocol, unlike the complex ecosystems of DApps, allows it to maintain high transaction speeds and extremely low fees, making it ideal for fast and inexpensive real-world payments. #DOGE
