Dogecoin (DOGE)

Install the Dogecoin app on your Ledger device to manage DOGE with Ledger Live. The Dogecoin app is developed and supported by Ledger. Check the Dogecoin wallet page to learn more.

Before you start

Instructions

Install the Dogecoin app
  1. Open My Ledger in Ledger Live.
  2. Connect and unlock your device.
  3. If asked, allow My Ledger to access your device.
  4. Find Dogecoin in the app catalog.
  5. Click the Install button of the app.
    • An installation window appears.
    • Your device will display Processing... 
    • The app installation is confirmed.
Configure public key exports

The Dogecoin app can export your extended public key (xpub) to web apps in a U2F compatible web browser (Chrome, Opera or Firefox). The xpub is privacy-sensitive information, as all public addresses can be generated from it.

Public key exports by default require manual approval on the device to prevent inadvertent sharing of your public addresses. This setting can be configured as follows:

  1. Open the Dogecoin app.
  2. Navigate to Settings > Public key export approval.
  3. Choose one of two options:
    • Manual approval (default): public key exports require a confirmation on the device.
    • Auto approval: public key exports are automatically approved.
Dogecoin address formats

Legacy addresses start with a D. This is Dogecoin's original address format.

Dogecoin multisig addresses start with an A. Ledger Live cannot create these addresses, but you can send transactions to them.

Troubleshooting: DOGE pending transactions

If your DOGE transaction remains pending for more than 1 hour in Ledger Live and can’t be found on a DOGE explorer such as Dogechain, please try the solution described below:

  1. Make sure you have the latest version of Ledger Live.
  2. Go to Settings > Experimental features in Ledger Live.

  3. Enable Experimental Explorer API.
  4. Go to Settings > Help > Clear cache. For step-by-step instructions, see Clear cache in Ledger Live Desktop.
  5. Send the DOGE transaction again and make sure to choose high fees this time. For more information on network fees, see the following article: Choose network fees.

  Address privacy

Dogecoin transactions are public information. Do not re-use your addresses for optimal privacy. Ledger Live automatically generates new addresses and keeps track of your previous ones. Previous addresses do remain valid, but they don't offer an optimal level of privacy.

Next steps

  • Add your accounts to Portfolio.
  • Send or receive crypto assets.
  • Buy DOGE directly into your Ledger Dogecoin account through Ledger Live. Learn more here.
