If a coin has no supply cap, does its supply just keep growing until it becomes worthless? The total supply cap field for $DOGE is indeed blank: one block is produced every minute, with a fixed reward of 10,000 coins per block, adding about 5.256 billion coins a year. CoinGecko's circulating supply at 02:18 UTC on November 11 was 156.68 billion coins.
The 5.256 billion coins added each year is a fixed amount, but its share of the existing supply gets smaller every year. As the denominator keeps growing, the same increase is spread across a larger pool. A design with a hard cap takes a different path: $BTC maintains scarcity with a cap, while $DOGE uses a fixed increase to dilute the supply more gradually year by year.
The block reward has been 10,000 coins per block since 2015. That figure hasn't changed in eleven years.
