  Dogecoin relies on the Scrypt algorithm-based network, which is a proof-of-work (PoW) blockchain. This network ensures the security and integrity of Dogecoin transactions by validating and recording them in blocks. Miners use their computational power to solve complex mathematical puzzles and add new blocks to the blockchain, earning Dogecoin as a reward. The Scrypt algorithm, different from Bitcoin's SHA-256, makes Dogecoin mining more accessible to individual miners using consumer-grade hardware.

  The network that powers Dogecoin is based on the same technology as Litecoin. Dogecoin forked from Litecoin in December 2013, adopting its Scrypt algorithm and blockchain structure. This network allows for faster block generation times, with new blocks added every minute. The use of Scrypt algorithm also makes Dogecoin mining more energy-efficient compared to Bitcoin's SHA-256 algorithm, which requires specialized mining hardware.

  Dogecoin relies on a decentralized network of nodes that maintain the blockchain and validate transactions. These nodes communicate with each other to reach consensus on the state of the network. The network is open to anyone who wants to participate, and it operates on a peer-to-peer basis without the need for intermediaries. By relying on this network, Dogecoin ensures transparency, security, and immutability of its transactions.
