Not a wrapper. Not an EVM “DOGE app layer.” Not Qt.
Full Dogecoin Core (1.14 DNA) node + wallet. Consensus (AuxPoW, subsidy, scripts) is untouched.
Latest release: v1.14.106
Dogecoin Core Pro · v1.14.106 · ImGui desktop · Client / Server / Hybrid
You run one dogecoind. It speaks the same mainnet as official Core. Other wallets and miners do not need our GUI.
The desktop is ImGui (dogecoin-pro-gui). dogecoin-qt is not shipped.

| Piece | What it is | What it is not |
|---|---|---|
dogecoind |
The node. Validates blocks like everyone else. | Not a second coin. |
| ImGui GUI | Wallet / Fast Sync / Arcade over localhost RPC | Does not run consensus on the render thread |
| Operator TUI | Server / Hybrid ops | Does not rewrite consensus in Go |
corepro-launch |
Native Windows launcher + Hybrid picker | Not a PowerShell/cmd window |
CDN (sync.doge.gopastearth.com) |
Static HTTPS files for Fast Sync | Not your live database. Not RPC. |
Two nodes on one datadir corrupt the databases. Installers never do that.
Download v1.14.106.

The installer asks how this machine is used (same question on Linux apt):
| Role | You get | Datadir | Node start |
|---|---|---|---|
| Client | ImGui desktop | %APPDATA%\Dogecoin / ~/.dogecoin |
GUI starts dogecoind if needed |
| Server | TUI + service | Linux: /var/lib/dogecoin-core-pro |
Windows service / systemd |
| Hybrid | Both UIs, one node | Same as Client on desktop | Service + native picker |
Hybrid: Start Menu Dogecoin Core Pro opens corepro-launch.exe (no black console). Default is ask which UI — Desktop GUI or Operator TUI — unless you check Remember. Change later in Options → Hybrid or TUI Settings → H. Dogecoin Core Pro Testnet (green coin) starts the same launcher with --testnet.
Each new install gets a unique RPC password on 127.0.0.1 only. See RPC-CREDENTIALS.txt in the datadir.
Close / tray: window X (and Hide / Minimize to tray) hide the UI. The node stays up. There is one tray icon — the Desktop GUI's. File → Exit and that icon's Quit and stop node RPC-stop dogecoind, wait for flush, then stop the OS service (DogecoinGPENode / systemd dogecoin-core-pro) so it cannot auto-restart. Core Pro will not attach to official dogecoin-qt / a foreign dogecoind. Hybrid: the same icon can Show Desktop GUI or Open Operator TUI.
Operators: same Windows packages on Dogecoin-GPENode v1.14.105-gpenode.
Linux apt:
curl -fsSL https://apt.dogecli.gopastearth.com/pubkey.gpg \

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/gpenode.gpg] https://apt.dogecli.gopastearth.com stable main" \

Most of a full node’s disk is blocks/blk*.dat (raw blocks), not the UTXO database.
| Data | Engine today | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| UTXO / block index | LevelDB default | Same class of store other Core nodes use. |
| Optional hot engine | MDBX | Empty dir + -dbengine=mdbx, or -migratedb=mdbx then -migratedb=mdbx -swapdb. After swap the ENGINE stamp is enough. Do not flip a live LevelDB folder in place. |
| Wallet keys | Berkeley DB wallet.dat |
Unchanged. |
| Raw blocks | Flat files | prune=5500 is the real size win. |
| Pruned history | Optional archive | -archivepath= copies finalized blk/rev before delete. |
Cloud is a pipe, not a live database.
- Fast Sync CDN = download a snapshot file, SHA-256 fail-closed, then validate locally.
- Consumer clouds (OneDrive, Drive, iCloud, Dropbox, …) are refused as the live datadir.
- Operator file stores (
/mnt/vfs, NFS) are OK for archive / snapshot dest only.
Download an attested UTXO snapshot from HTTPS → verify file SHA-256 → load near height H → your node still re-proves history over P2P.
Default CDN: https://sync.doge.gopastearth.com/latest.json
| Hash | Meaning |
|---|---|
| File SHA-256 | The .dat was not truncated or swapped |
hash_serialized |
UTXO set at H (compiled in mapAssumeutxo) |
Prefer an empty datadir. Do not Fast Sync a folder that is already mid-IBD + prune. You can always sync from peers instead.
dogecoind — the node (consensus, wallet DB, P2P, RPC)
dogecoin-cli — RPC client
dogecoin-tx — raw tx toolkit
dogecoin-pro-gui — ImGui desktop
corepro-launch — Windows launcher / Hybrid picker (no console)
gpenode-tui — operator TUI (Server / Hybrid)
gpenode-ops — service host + operator glue (not consensus)
| Port | mainnet | testnet | regtest |
|---|---|---|---|
| P2P | 22556 | 44556 | 18444 |
| RPC | 22555 | 44555 | 18332 |
Testnet: Start Menu / desktop Dogecoin Core Pro Testnet (green coin icon), or corepro-launch.exe --testnet, dogecoin-pro-gui --ui gfx --testnet, gpenode-tui --testnet, dogecoin-cli -testnet. ImGui uses Matrix (green); the TUI is green with a TESTNET header; dogecoin-cli prints a green banner on a TTY. Datadir is testnet3. The mainnet service is not started. Stop mainnet first (one dogecoind). Details: html/docs/pages/testnet.html.
Never expose RPC to the public internet.
Consensus rules, AuxPoW, subsidy schedule, “make DOGE an EVM chain.”
Settlement that matters is native DOGE on Dogecoin L1.
