Dogecoin RPC Endpoint

Fast, flat-rate Dogecoin RPC node provider — free tier, no KYC, HTTP & WebSocket.

Dogecoin is one of the most widely-held cryptocurrencies — a UTXO-based, Scrypt proof-of-work chain designed for fast, cheap payments and tipping. SwiftNodes serves the standard Dogecoin Core JSON-RPC interface plus a Blockbook address/index API, so you can query balances, UTXOs, and transaction history without running your own node.

Network: Dogecoin

Type: Non-EVM

Slug: doge

Native token: DOGE (Dogecoin)

Block time: ~1 minute

Finality: Probabilistic — deeper confirmations for high-value settlement (fast blocks mean ~6 confs ≈ 6 minutes)

Mainnet: December 2013

Category: Layer 1 (UTXO, Scrypt proof-of-work, merge-mined)

About Dogecoin

Dogecoin launched in December 2013 and shares Bitcoin's UTXO model, with a ~1-minute block time and Scrypt proof-of-work. Since 2014 it has been merge-mined (AuxPoW) with Litecoin, so it inherits Litecoin's hash power for security at no extra energy cost. Dogecoin has no supply cap — a fixed 10,000 DOGE block reward makes it mildly inflationary.

The node exposes the Dogecoin Core JSON-RPC methods you expect — getblock, getrawtransaction, sendrawtransaction, estimatefee, and so on. Because Dogecoin Core has no built-in address index, address-level queries (balances, UTXO sets, and history for an address) are served through Blockbook, which SwiftNodes runs alongside the node.

Common Use Cases on Dogecoin

Fast, low-fee payments and tipping
Wallet balance and UTXO queries
Address transaction history (via Blockbook)
Fee estimation and transaction broadcasting
Payment processing and exchange integrations

Dogecoin Ecosystem

Dogecoin is one of the most recognized cryptocurrencies, widely supported by exchanges, payment processors, and hardware wallets, and frequently used for micro-tipping and merchandise payments.

Note: Dogecoin uses its own RPC methods. Refer to the official Dogecoin documentation for available methods.

Bridging to Dogecoin

Dogecoin moves into other ecosystems primarily as wrapped DOGE or through exchange rails; it has no native smart-contract bridge.

Frequently Asked Questions: Dogecoin

What's Dogecoin's block time?

Dogecoin targets a new block about every minute — faster than Bitcoin (10 min) or Litecoin (2.5 min) — so confirmations arrive quickly.

Can I query a Dogecoin address's balance or history?

Yes. Dogecoin Core has no address index, but SwiftNodes runs Blockbook alongside the node, so you can query address balances, UTXOs, and full transaction history over the Blockbook API.

Is Dogecoin secure with such fast blocks?

Dogecoin is merge-mined with Litecoin (AuxPoW), so it's secured by Litecoin's substantial Scrypt hash power. Use more confirmations for high-value settlement, as with any probabilistic-finality chain.

Does Dogecoin have a supply cap?

No. Dogecoin has a fixed block reward of 10,000 DOGE and no maximum supply, making it mildly inflationary over time.
