Bitcoin still remains the leading PoW blockchain with a market cap of $383 billion. After Bitcoin and Dogecoin, Ethereum Classic (CRYPTO: ETC), Litecoin (CRYPTO: LTC) and Monero (CRYPTO: XMR) are ranked third, fourth and fifth in terms of largest PoW blockchains.

In terms of node count, however, Dogecoin ranks sixth behind Bitcoin, Zcash (CRYPTO: ZEC), Filecoin (CRYPTO: FIL), Monero, and Litecoin, as per data from Chain Parrot.

According to Dogecoin developer Timothy Stebbing, the DOGE community can help grow this metric by installing DOGE nodes of their own.
