As new Layer 1 networks emerge, developer activity often lags behind funding. BlockDAG is breaking that mold. With $359 million raised, over 2.5 million users, and a presale nearing its end, BlockDAG has already attracted more than 4,500 developers, with over 300 dApps in progress.
This early success isn’t a coincidence. By offering EVM compatibility, a low-code contract builder, and live testnet access, BlockDAG has enabled developers to start building now, rather than waiting for post-launch tools.
With grants, hackathons, and upcoming DeFi infrastructure, BlockDAG (BDAG) is solidifying itself as a builder-first ecosystem, driving long-term growth before its token even hits the market.
EVM Compatibility: Seamless Onboarding and Migration for Developers
BlockDAG is fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which means that smart contracts written in Solidity can be directly ported to BlockDAG with little to no modification. This compatibility makes it easy for developers to migrate their projects without any friction, giving them a familiar and proven environment to work in.
Tools like MetaMask, Remix, and Hardhat already work seamlessly with BlockDAG, and existing decentralized applications (dApps), especially in DeFi and NFTs, can deploy on BlockDAG and benefit from faster transaction speeds and lower fees compared to Ethereum. Rather than competing with Ethereum, BlockDAG extends its ecosystem, offering developers familiar infrastructure with new performance capabilities, making adoption easier and faster.
Testnet Access and Builder Incentives: Empowering Developers for Growth
BlockDAG’s live testnet provides developers with the ability to deploy and test smart contracts, validate transaction throughput, and explore node operations. With a hybrid DAG + Proof-of-Work model, BlockDAG processes up to 10 blocks per second, ensuring both scalability and security, crucial for the growth of any Layer 1 network.
To support developers, BlockDAG offers grants and organizes hackathons, aiming to fund the creation of 1,000 dApps by 2026. This approach ensures that early-stage developers are not only experimenting but also receiving the resources to build at scale. Coupled with a transparent six-week launch plan, developers are equipped with clear timelines on when tools will go live and how to integrate BDAG into their projects, ranging from staking to DeFi.
Beyond just smart contracts, BlockDAG is providing real infrastructure: Cold Wallet integration for secure token storage, an X1 mobile miner app with over 2.5 million users, and a Demo Trading Platform where users can make live BDAG purchases. With over 20 exchange listings confirmed post-launch, dApps built on BlockDAG will launch into a fully operational ecosystem with real users, liquidity, and active utility tools.
Quick Breakdown
BlockDAG is still in its presale phase, but it has already established the toolkit, audience, and incentives necessary to build and scale a thriving ecosystem. With over 4,500 developers onboard and growing, the platform is taking shape ahead of the mainnet launch, ensuring a dynamic and engaged environment right from the start.
In an industry where many projects launch with empty chains, BlockDAG’s early focus on empowering builders stands out as one of its most strategic moves. For developers, the message is clear: BlockDAG is not waiting, and neither are they.
