This text-first directory gathers CryptoGloss entries about Dogecoin, related networks, and Doge-themed projects. Dogechain is a separate network; Dogelon Mars and Akita are tokens on other networks, not native Dogecoin assets.

Concepts & Standards
| Entry | Links |
|---|---|
| DRC-20 Token Standard An inscription-based token convention for Dogecoin whose balances are reconstructed by indexers, not enforced by smart contracts or Dogecoin consensus. |
|
| AuxPoW Dogecoin’s merged-mining feature lets compatible parent-chain proof of work also qualify for Dogecoin blocks, while Dogecoin validates AuxPoW blocks under its own consensus rules. |
|
| Scrypt A memory-hard cryptographic function used by Dogecoin for proof of work; Scrypt is a general algorithm, not a Dogecoin-only feature or a guarantee against specialized mining hardware. |
|
| DigiShield Dogecoin’s per-block difficulty-adjustment method, which recalculates the proof-of-work target using recent block times; it is a protocol feature, not a separate coin or mining algorithm. |
Infrastructure & Tooling
| Entry | Links |
|---|---|
| Dogechain A separate EVM network built around Dogecoin. Its August 2026 withdrawal deadline has passed, but reporting found blocks continued afterward; current service and asset recovery are uncertain. |
|
| Dogecoin Core The open-source full-node and wallet software that validates and relays Dogecoin network activity. |
|
| Dogecoin Foundation A non-profit supporting Dogecoin development and advocacy; it does not own or control the decentralized network. |
|
| DogeOS An EVM-compatible application layer for Dogecoin; its public Chikyū network is a testnet, not a launched mainnet. |
|
| Libdogecoin An open-source C library project that provides Dogecoin building blocks for compatible applications and wallet software; it is not itself a full node or end-user wallet. |
|
| GigaWallet An open-source Dogecoin backend and API for businesses that need to create payment requests and process DOGE; it is not a consumer wallet. |
|
| Doginals An open-source Dogecoin inscription minter and protocol; compatible indexers interpret inscriptions recorded in Dogecoin transaction data. |
|
| DogeBox A NixOS-based Dogecoin server platform for self-hosted services and modular apps called Pups; DogeBox OS is currently labeled a pre-alpha developer preview. |
|
| RadioDoge An experimental Dogecoin initiative exploring radio-based transaction relays; its official status page describes a working prototype using LoRA, VaraHF radio, and Starlink, with regional partners still being sought. |
