How to send Dogecoin (DOGE) with your Exodus wallet?

Setting Up Your Exodus Wallet for Dogecoin Transactions

1. Ensure that your Exodus wallet is updated to the latest version available. Older versions may not support the most recent network protocols required for DOGE transfers.

2. Open the Exodus application and navigate to the main dashboard where all supported cryptocurrencies are displayed. Locate Dogecoin in the list or use the search function if necessary.
3. Click on the Dogecoin asset to open its dedicated interface, which displays your current balance, transaction history, and available actions such as Send and Receive.
4. Before sending, verify that you have sufficient DOGE to cover both the amount you intend to transfer and any associated network fees, which are automatically calculated by Exodus.
5. Confirm that your wallet is fully synchronized with the blockchain. A sync issue could delay or prevent transactions from being processed correctly.

Sending Dogecoin Using the Send Function

1. Within the Dogecoin section of Exodus, click the Send button to initiate a new transaction.

2. Enter the recipient’s Dogecoin address carefully. A single incorrect character can result in irreversible loss of funds. Consider copying and pasting the address from a trusted source.
3. Input the amount of DOGE you wish to send. The interface will display the equivalent value in your selected fiat currency for reference.
4. Review the estimated network fee shown below the amount field. Exodus dynamically calculates this based on current network congestion to ensure timely confirmation.
5. After confirming all details, press the Scan & Send or Send button, depending on whether you're using a QR code or manual entry.

Using QR Codes to Transfer DOGE Efficiently

1. If the recipient has provided a QR code, select the QR scanner option within the Send interface to capture the wallet address directly.

2. Align your device’s camera with the QR code until it is automatically detected and the address is populated in the send field.
3. Manually enter the DOGE amount after the address is scanned. Do not rely solely on pre-filled amounts if included in the QR code unless explicitly confirmed with the recipient.
4. Double-check that the scanned address matches the expected recipient’s public key format, typically starting with a ‘D’ or ‘A’ for Dogecoin.
5. Confirm the transaction. Once initiated, the transfer cannot be canceled, so accuracy at this stage is critical.

Confirming and Tracking Your DOGE Transaction

1. After sending, a confirmation screen will appear showing the transaction ID (TXID), which serves as proof of the transfer.

2. Tap or click on the TXID to open a block explorer link where you can monitor the status of your transaction in real time.
3. Wait for the network to confirm the transaction. Dogecoin typically confirms within minutes, but high traffic periods may extend this duration.
4. Verify that the recipient has received the correct amount. Discrepancies may indicate an error in the address or insufficient network fees.
5. Save the transaction details for your records, especially if the transfer is part of a larger financial activity such as trading or payment for goods.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I cancel a Dogecoin transaction after it’s sent?No, once a Dogecoin transaction is broadcast to the network, it cannot be canceled or reversed. Always double-check the recipient address and amount before confirming.

What should I do if I sent DOGE to the wrong address?If you accidentally send DOGE to an incorrect address, contact the recipient if possible. If it was sent to an exchange or service wallet, reach out to their support team with the transaction ID for potential recovery assistance.

Why does my transaction show as pending for a long time?A pending status usually indicates low network fees relative to current congestion. Dogecoin transactions with higher fees are prioritized by miners. Wait for network conditions to improve or check if the transaction gets dropped and funds return to your wallet.

Does Exodus charge additional fees for sending DOGE?Exodus does not impose extra service fees. The only cost is the network fee paid to miners for processing the transaction, which varies based on network demand and is clearly displayed before confirmation.
