Learn more about Dogecoin Core
Dogecoin Core is a cryptocurrency node implementation that allows users to participate in the Dogecoin blockchain network. The software is adapted from Bitcoin Core and uses the Scrypt hashing algorithm for Proof of Work consensus. It provides full node capabilities including blockchain synchronization, transaction validation, and wallet functionality. The implementation includes JSON-RPC API access and supports mainnet, testnet, and regtest network configurations.
Scrypt Algorithm
Uses Scrypt hashing method for Proof of Work instead of SHA-256. This provides different mining characteristics compared to Bitcoin.
Bitcoin Core Adaptation
Built on Bitcoin Core codebase with modifications for Dogecoin-specific features. Inherits proven blockchain technology while supporting Dogecoin's unique parameters.
Multiple Network Support
Supports mainnet, testnet, and regtest environments with different port configurations. Includes comprehensive JSON-RPC API for programmatic interaction.
