Dogecoin was created in December 2013 by software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer. It started as a lighthearted and meme-inspired cryptocurrency, based on the popular "Doge" internet meme featuring a Shiba Inu dog. Markus developed the technical aspects of the coin, while Palmer helped with branding and promotion. Dogecoin was initially intended to be a fun and community-driven cryptocurrency, with a focus on charity and tipping. However, it gained significant popularity and became widely traded and accepted over time.

It is inspired by the "Doge" meme that features a Shiba Inu dog with captions written in Comic Sans font. Despite its origins as a joke, Dogecoin gained a significant following and has evolved into a legitimate digital currency used for various transactions and charitable causes.
