How these dates are worked out
Recent pace is the average time per block over the last 2,016 blocks. Target spacing is the protocol's own block time. Both are simple extrapolations from the chain tip: a halving lands when its block is mined, whatever the calendar says.
Dogecoin stopped halving in 2015: it issues a fixed 10,000 DOGE per block for good. Ethereum never halved and has no mining reward at all.
