DOGE - Dogecoin

What is Dogecoin (DOGE)?

Dogecoin, often referred to by its ticker symbol DOGE, is a digital currency that was created in December 2013 by software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, as a cryptocurrency forked from Bitcoin. It was initially started as a lighthearted joke or parody cryptocurrency, featuring the iconic Shiba Inu dog from the "Doge" meme as its logo. Despite its origins as a humorous internet meme, Dogecoin quickly gained traction and developed a passionate following.

By the end of 2014, to bolster its security and stability, Dogecoin adopted merged mining with Litecoin, which strengthened its existing network of globally distributed nodes. Dogecoin's primary utility lies in microtransactions, often used for tipping on various online platforms and beyond. A noteworthy aspect of Dogecoin's distribution is the concentration of coins, with one address holding around 28.3% of the total supply. Furthermore, Dogecoin adopts an inflationary economic model with a fixed issuance of 5 billion coins per year. Learn more

Important Note - To request a withdrawal, your account profile needs to be verified as well as having the funds to cover your withdrawal. The first time a withdrawal is made to a destination, the destination needs to be confirmed via e-mail. If you have 2-Factor Authentication enabled for withdrawals, you will be asked to input the code for each withdrawal, approved or not. We suggest enabling 2-Factor Authentication to protect your account.

Withdrawals waiting for approval can be canceled and the withdrawal status can be found by selecting the Wallet on your Coinmetro Dashboard. Please note that already-approved withdrawals cannot be canceled. If there is no Cancel button visible, this unfortunately means the withdrawal can no longer be canceled, and you will find a transaction ID (TXID) instead. This is a link to the relevant transaction hash on a Blockchain Explorer website where the status can be checked further.
