Dogecoin Data: Index Transactions, Addresses, and Merged Mining
Index Dogecoin transactions, outputs, addresses, coinbase rewards, and merged-mining proofs in one pipeline, delivered to your own database. Real-time and complete history, no node to run.
Dogecoin calls itself the people's cryptocurrency: an open-source, peer-to-peer digital currency, and, in its own words, the accidental crypto movement that makes people smile. Under the hood it is a Scrypt proof-of-work UTXO chain, and since 2014 it has allowed merged mining with other Scrypt chains, so miners of Litecoin and similar coins can secure Dogecoin with the same work. You can read how the project frames it at dogecoin.com.
That history shows up in the data. A Dogecoin block looks like a Bitcoin-family block, transactions with inputs and outputs, but merge-mined blocks also carry an auxpow section: the parent chain's coinbase transaction, merkle branches, and block header that prove the work. Indexing Co delivers both, so you can index payments and tips alongside the mining structure, delivered to your own PostgreSQL, warehouse, or webhook.
Why Dogecoin data is hard
What Indexing Co delivers for Dogecoin
Run a Dogecoin node and handle its quirks yourself.
- Operate a Dogecoin Core node, or find a reliable RPC.
- Parse auxpow blocks alongside non-merge-mined ones.
- Join inputs to spent outputs to recover senders and values.
- Build backfill, reorg handling, and real-time delivery from scratch.
One pipeline sources and delivers Dogecoin to your store.
- Transactions with decoded output addresses, values, and script types.
- The auxpow proof in the same payload: parent coinbase, merkle branches, parent header.
- Shaped by your transform, landed in your PostgreSQL, BigQuery, warehouse, or webhook.
- Real-time delivery plus complete backfilled history. No node to operate.
What you can index
| Dogecoin data type | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| Outputs | Receiving address, value, output index, and script type |
| Inputs | The outpoints each transaction spends, for joining to earlier outputs |
| Coinbase transactions | Block rewards, fees collected, and miner payout addresses |
| Merged-mining proof (auxpow) | Parent coinbase transaction, merkle branches, chain index, parent header |
| Block headers | Height, time, difficulty, and transaction count |
A transform, not a subgraph
You write the transform in JavaScript, not AssemblyScript, and change it without re-indexing from block zero. Indexing Co runs your function over each block server-side. This one emits a row per output and, for merge-mined blocks, a row describing the parent chain proof.
// Indexing Co transform: Dogecoin outputs plus the merged-mining proof
function transform(block) {
const rows = [];
for (const tx of block.tx || []) {
const coinbase = Boolean(tx.vin?.[0]?.coinbase);
for (const out of tx.vout || []) {
const address = (out.scriptPubKey?.addresses || [])[0];
if (!address) continue;
rows.push({
chain: block._network,
block: block.height,
block_time: block.time,
txid: tx.txid,
coinbase,
output_index: out.n,
to_address: address,
script_type: out.scriptPubKey.type,
value_doge: out.value,
});
}
}
// auxpow is present when the block was merge-mined on a parent Scrypt chain
if (block.auxpow) {
rows.push({
chain: block._network,
block: block.height,
merge_mined: true,
parent_coinbase_txid: block.auxpow.tx?.txid,
parent_block_header: block.auxpow.parentblock,
chain_index: block.auxpow.chainindex,
});
}
return rows;
}
Dogecoin with Indexing Co
You want full control of node infrastructure and have the team to run Dogecoin Core, parse auxpow blocks, and build backfill and reorg handling in-house.
You want Dogecoin transfers, rewards, and merged-mining data delivered to your own database, on the same schema as your other chains, with real-time plus complete history and no infrastructure to run.

FAQ
What is auxpow in a Dogecoin block?
Auxiliary proof of work. When a block is merge-mined, the work was done on a parent Scrypt chain, and the block carries the parent's coinbase transaction, the merkle branches linking it to the parent block, and the parent block header. Indexing Co delivers that section as part of each block.
Which chain is Dogecoin merge-mined with?
Any Scrypt chain that supports it. According to dogecoin.com, Litecoin was the most popular Scrypt coin when merged mining was enabled in 2014, and miners of Litecoin and other Scrypt coins can contribute to Dogecoin with the same work. The parent coinbase and header in auxpow let you analyze this per block.
Do Dogecoin inputs include the sender address?
Not directly. Each input carries the transaction id and output index it spends. Because Indexing Co delivers every output, you can join inputs to the outputs they spend in your own database to recover sender addresses and values.
Do I need to run a Dogecoin node?
No. Indexing Co sources Dogecoin blocks, including full history, so you never operate Dogecoin Core or babysit an RPC endpoint.
Where does the Dogecoin data go?
Into your own destination: PostgreSQL, BigQuery, a warehouse, or a webhook. You define the output schema and own the storage.
