Dogecoin (DOGE), one of the most popular “memecoins,” can be held in many leading crypto wallets on the market. You can store Dogecoin in a “cold” hardware wallet that keeps your data fully offline, or a “hot” software wallet connected to the internet. Some wallets are made specifically for Dogecoin.

The Dogecoin website has a "Much Wallets" section that filters 12 options based on your operating system and desired features. When choosing a Dogecoin wallet, you can consider factors such as how much Dogecoin you have, as well as your preferences for security and convenience.
Hot wallets
A hot wallet keeps your crypto connected to the internet on your phone or computer for easy access to trading platforms.
Dogecoin Core
Cost: Free to download.
Good for: Hardcore Dogecoin users (Wowe. Such Doge).
Dogecoin Core is open-source software that essentially runs a copy of the entire Dogecoin blockchain on your computer. This method is called a “full node,” and it helps secure the Dogecoin network and keep it running smoothly. The software can be installed on a Windows, Linux PC or MacOS computer and takes at least 50GB of hard drive space.
Since the software is specifically for Dogecoin, it isn’t compatible with any other cryptocurrencies. You’ll also need to learn how to encrypt and back up the wallet yourself. Other wallets may have more advanced built-in security features.
