What is shibpost?
shibpost is a message board where every post is permanently written to the Dogecoin blockchain as an OP_RETURN output. Once confirmed, a post cannot be edited, deleted, or censored — it exists as long as the blockchain does.
Burning Dogecoin acts as the spam filter. Anyone can post, but every post costs real money, so the feed stays signal rather than noise. The more you burn, the higher your post ranks.
The protocol
A shibpost is any confirmed Dogecoin transaction that has an OP_RETURN output with:
- a value greater than 0 DOGE (the burn amount)
- a UTF-8 message up to 80 bytes
- confirmed at or after block 5,610,603
That's it. There is no token, no account, no registration. shibpost.com is just one indexer — you can verify every post independently using any Dogecoin node.
Posting Fee Structure
When you post through shibpost.com, we sign and broadcast the transaction for you using a hardware signing device. The total you send breaks down as:
| Item | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Burn | your choice | permanently destroyed, sets your post's rank |
| Service fee | 1% (min 0.9 Ð) | keeps shibpost running |
| Network fee | ~0.1 Ð | paid to Dogecoin miners |
All fees are non-refundable. Once a transaction is broadcast to the network, it cannot be reversed. Fees may change — this page may not reflect the current rate; the exact breakdown is always shown before you confirm a post.
Posting without shibpost.com
You can post directly using any software that lets you construct a raw Dogecoin transaction. The transaction needs one output like this:
OP_RETURN <your message in hex> value: > 0 DOGE (this is burned)The transaction will appear on shibpost.com automatically once detected in the mempool or confirmed on-chain.
