> At that weekly pace, Dogecoin would issue about 13.6 million coins over 24 hours, roughly 800,000 fewer than the amount implied by the 60-second target.

Dogecoin (DOGE) blocks averaged 63.5 seconds in the week labeled Oct. 24, 2026, a pace that implies about 800,000 fewer new coins over 24 hours than the protocol’s one-minute target.

At that weekly rate, 86,400 seconds in a day divided by 63.5 seconds per block works out to roughly 1,361 blocks. Multiplying by the fixed 10,000-DOGE subsidy gives an estimated 13.6 million new DOGE in a day. At the 60-second target, the same calculation yields 1,440 blocks and 14.4 million DOGE.

The difference is about 79 blocks, or approximately 790,000 DOGE, rounded to 800,000. The daily totals are estimates derived from a weekly average, rather than a count for a specific 24-hour period. The figures do not mean every block took 63.5 seconds.

That average is 3.5 seconds longer than the target. Over a fixed 24-hour period, a longer average interval yields a lower estimated block count. Multiplying that count by the per-block subsidy shows why estimated daily issuance changes even though the reward for each block does not.

A separate sample on Oct. 28 also showed an average above target. The 628 block intervals ran from 4:00:21 a.m. ET (8:00:21 UTC) to 3:03:40 p.m. ET (7:03:40 UTC), a span of 11 hours, 3 minutes and 19 seconds. Across that window, the average interval was 63.37 seconds.

Dogecoin’s one-minute interval is a target, not a timetable that guarantees a block every 60 seconds. Miners use proof of work to find blocks, while the network recalibrates difficulty after every block to keep production near its one-minute target. Individual block intervals can vary around it.

Dogecoin’s issuance schedule sets a subsidy of 10,000 DOGE per block from block 600,000 onward. The reward is tied to each block, rather than to a clock or daily quota. When fewer blocks are found within a measured period, fewer coins are issued during that period; the subsidy for each block stays at 10,000 DOGE.

The weekly average and the Oct. 28 sample cover different measurement windows. They describe observed block production during those periods, without changing Dogecoin’s 60-second target or its per-block subsidy.
