# Dogecoin

Dogecoin in Cake Wallet: 12 or 24-word BIP39 seed, derivation path, D addresses that rotate after each use, fee levels paid in DOGE, and coin control.

Official Website: [dogecoin.com](https://dogecoin.com/)

Dogecoin `(DOGE)` is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency that started in 2013 as a lighthearted take on Bitcoin, built around the Shiba Inu "Doge" meme. It has since grown into one of the most widely used cryptocurrencies for tips and small payments, with fast blocks and very low fees.

## Seed Format

Cake Wallet creates Dogecoin wallets with a 12-word BIP39 seed by default. You can choose a 24-word seed instead when creating a wallet, and you can add a seed passphrase, both under `Advanced Settings`. Both seed lengths are supported when restoring.

The derivation path used is `m/44'/3'/0'`.

{% hint style="info" %}
Your BIP39 seed can be shared with your other Cake Wallet currencies as part of a [wallet group](https://docs.cakewallet.com/features/managing-your-wallet/wallet-groups).
{% endhint %}

## Addresses

Cake Wallet generates new Dogecoin addresses after each use for better privacy. Previous addresses continue to work.

Your Dogecoin address starts with the letter `D`, followed by a series of alphanumeric characters (a P2PKH, or "pay to public key hash", address).

## Fees

Dogecoin network fees are paid in DOGE. Cake Wallet offers three fee levels:

* **Slow**: Cheaper but may take longer to confirm.
* **Medium**: Recommended for most transactions. Balanced speed and cost.
* **Fast**: Expensive but confirms quickly.

We recommend the `Medium` fee level under normal conditions for a good balance of speed and cost. There is no `Custom` fee option for Dogecoin — that is Bitcoin-only.

## Coin control

Dogecoin supports [coin control](https://docs.cakewallet.com/features/advanced/coin-control), which lets you choose exactly which coins (unspent outputs) you spend in a transaction. This gives you finer control over your privacy and your fees.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.cakewallet.com/cryptos/dogecoin.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
