How Dogecoin and Pepe are built
How Dogecoin works
Mining runs on Proof of Work with the Scrypt algorithm, and it is done jointly with Litecoin (merge mining). A new block every minute. There is no upper supply limit: the same number of coins is issued every year, so inflation in percentage terms declines from year to year.
What Dogecoin is for
DOGE is sent for tips and small payments, it is traded, and some merchants accept it directly.
How Pepe works
Technically it is an ordinary ERC20 with a fixed and very large supply — hence quotes with a long tail of decimal places.
What Pepe is for
The main scenario is speculative trading; besides that, the token works as a community symbol.
