While new Layer 1 networks often gather funding first and developers later, BlockDAG presents a different case. Backed by $360 million, with a user base of more than 2.5 million and its presale nearing completion, BlockDAG has already attracted more than 4,500 developers and has over 300 dApps currently in progress. This traction isn’t coincidental. With Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility, an intuitive low-code contract builder, and live access to its testnet, BlockDAG provides the resources developers need now, not just after launch. Add to that developer grants, hackathons, and DeFi features in the pipeline, and it’s clear the network is being shaped as a development-first environment. Here’s why so many developers are committing to BlockDAG even before BDAG is publicly traded. EVM Support Makes Transition Seamless BlockDAG’s full compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine means developers can deploy existing Solidity smart contracts with minimal or no changes. This makes transitioning to BlockDAG quick and frictionless. Tools like MetaMask, Remix, and Hardhat work immediately, allowing current DeFi and NFT projects to move to BlockDAG with ease. They also benefit from faster transactions and reduced fees compared to Ethereum. Rather than competing with Ethereum, BlockDAG enhances it by offering better performance with familiar development tools. This approach encourages adoption through familiarity and improved efficiency. Low-Code Tools Expand Access to Web2 Developers To involve a broader range of creators, BlockDAG provides a low-code smart contract builder. This tool uses a drag-and-drop system that simplifies smart contract creation and deployment, especially for those with little or no coding experience. With built-in templates for NFTs, governance, token launches, and staking, developers can quickly prototype and launch dApps. This accessibility encourages entrepreneurs and traditional Web2 developers to participate without needing to master blockchain coding. By making development easier, BlockDAG expands the developer base and accelerates dApp growth across the network. Live Testnet & Incentives Attract Early Builders BlockDAG’s active testnet lets developers deploy contracts, test transaction speed, and experiment with node operations. The system processes up to 10 blocks per second using a hybrid DAG and Proof-of-Work model that balances performance and security. To motivate builders, BlockDAG has launched grants and hackathons, aiming to support 1,000 dApps by 2026. These programs give developers not only a testing ground but also funding and recognition. Thanks to its clear six-week launch roadmap, developers know when tools will become available and how to incorporate BDAG features like staking and DeFi from day one. Built-In Infrastructure Sets Up Projects for Success BlockDAG goes beyond contracts and wallets, it includes working infrastructure ready for real use: Cold Wallet compatibility for secure BDAG storage and seamless dApp interaction The X1 mobile mining app with over 2.5 million users bringing utility to the chain A Demo Trading Platform where users can buy BDAG or test selling Confirmed BDAG listings on over 20 exchanges after launch With these tools already in place, new dApps launching on BlockDAG will enter a live environment with users, liquidity, and utility, not just empty promises. Why Developers Are Confident in BlockDAG’s Future Although BlockDAG is still in presale, it already offers developers a full suite of tools, a live audience, and funding incentives. With 4,500+ builders already participating, the foundation is being laid before mainnet goes live. In a sector where many networks launch with inactive chains, BlockDAG’s strong developer-first approach could be its biggest advantage. For those building in Web3, the message is clear, BlockDAG is already moving, and so are the developers.
