While countless blockchain projects are making big claims with little to show, one Layer 1 stands out with actual delivery, mass participation, and sustained momentum.
BlockDAG, built using a Hybrid DAG + Proof-of-Work system, has now raised $209 million in less than 10 months. Its newly released Keynote 3 strengthened its position as a serious Layer 1 contender.
More than 19 billion BDAG coins have been sold, over 800,000 users are on the X1 App, and 170,000+ holders have joined. This shows that BlockDAG (BDAG) is not just progressing—it’s now among the most closely followed launches of the year, with interest growing fast as the mainnet launch nears.
From Vision to Reality: Keynote 3 Marks True BlockDAG Progress
While many Layer 1s focus on long-term promises, BlockDAG used its third keynote to display actual development and early-stage delivery.
“This isn’t a minor update—it’s a complete leap forward,” stated CEO Antony Turner at the start. “What we’re presenting today reflects months of hard work focused on improving decentralization, performance, and safety.”
The keynote included the debut of Beta Testnet V1, which has successfully handled more than 1.2 million transactions. The network is supported by over 100 active nodes, reinforcing its community-based foundation.
Thanks to its DAG structure, BlockDAG processes multiple blocks at once, unlike typical blockchains that operate sequentially. This reduces network congestion and speeds up confirmations. The Proof-of-Work element ensures strong security, making it an architecture that brings the best of both setups.
Importantly, the Beta Testnet is not only live—it’s already active and operational.
The keynote unveiled:
- An upgraded block explorer with new features
- A tool for creating tokens and NFTs
- WASM support for building complex smart contracts
- Account abstraction features for safer, simpler use
- Early dApps for public testing and feedback
Each of these features is either fully rolled out or in the weekly release cycle—there’s no vague roadmap here.
Security Built for Enterprise-Level Demands
As BlockDAG moves closer to its mainnet release, security remains central to its development—not an afterthought. This was underscored by Chief Security Officer Dr. Youssef Khaoulaj during his presentation:
“If the security fails, the chain fails. That’s why we’ve built BlockDAG with tough cryptographic systems and a truly decentralized consensus model to shut out weak points.”
With security frameworks such as MPC-backed treasury systems, audits by top firms like Certik and Halborn, and a proven Proof-of-Work system, BlockDAG is under constant review and testing. These steps have attracted not just the crypto space’s attention, but also recognition from technical experts and top-level developers.
Why Smart Buyers Are Rushing In Before the Next Price Surge
Currently in Batch 27, the presale price is $0.0248—up significantly from the initial $0.001 rate. That’s a 2,380% increase since launch, with growing traction indicating there’s more ahead.
More than 16,600 miners (X30 and X100 units) have been sold, and shipments are beginning soon. These devices will support the network’s hardware-driven consensus design. Meanwhile, the X1 Miner App now counts over 800,000 users, showing the widespread reach of BlockDAG’s ecosystem.
Another success has been the TG Tap Miner game, which already brought in more than 400,000 signups. This shows engagement is growing not only among crypto-savvy users but also with those new to the space.
“BlockDAG isn’t waiting for change. It’s already creating it,” Turner added.
The mainnet is expected to go live with:
- Full DeFi operations (swaps, staking, lending, bridges)
- Tools for token and NFT deployment
- Governance features for community input
- Listings across 10 or more major exchanges
This ensures the coin will enter a well-built and ready environment—not an empty chain.
Wrapping Up!
Keynote 3 was more than a presentation—it was a public demo of actual delivery. The BlockDAG chain is already running, expanding, and reaching users worldwide.
“We’re not just building a chain. We’re shaping a decentralized future,” Turner concluded.
Those planning to join before market listings and rising prices must act fast. With $209 million already secured in the presale and a $600 million goal in sight, BlockDAG is setting new standards.
Once the mainnet goes live, it won’t just be another project entering the market. It will be the launch of a full system that people are already starting to use.
