BlockDAG is entering August with serious momentum. The Layer 1 blockchain project has now raised over $361 million in presale funding, sold 18,000 ASIC miners, and attracted 2.5 million users via its X1 mobile miner app — all while preparing for its GLOBAL LAUNCH release on August 11. The pace of expansion is extraordinary, and with a target of $600 million in total presale funding, BlockDAG is rapidly approaching territory typically reserved for top-tier projects like Solana and Avalanche. What sets BlockDAG apart is not just funding or user numbers — it’s the pace of infrastructure deployment and the strength of its technology stack. Powered by a hybrid DAG + Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus, BlockDAG combines high-speed transaction processing with decentralized network security, offering a compelling alternative to traditional blockchains reliant on Proof-of-Stake. Infrastructure Live: 18,000 Miners Sold and Trading Tools Active One of the biggest milestones for BlockDAG is the sale of 18,000 ASIC miners , which will secure the network through real Proof-of-Work validation. This gives BlockDAG a serious edge in decentralization, as its miner base will be globally distributed — avoiding the centralization risks commonly associated with PoS validators. Simultaneously, BlockDAG has launched its Demo Trading Platform , where users can buy BDAG coins live at the current $0.0016 price and practice selling in a risk-free demo environment . This tool provides early access to the trading experience ahead of exchange listings later this year, when BDAG will debut at a confirmed $0.05 listing price , marking a potential 3025% ROI for presale buyers. While the trading demo is live now, the real launch moment is the GLOBAL LAUNCH release on August 11 , when the ecosystem formally transitions toward listing and mainnet activation. The tools are not promises — they are live now, helping to onboard over 200,000 BDAG holders before public trading begins. Strategic Partnerships and Visibility: Inter Milan Joins BlockDAG BlockDAG’s growth isn’t confined to product rollouts. In July, the project announced a major partnership with Inter Milan , one of Europe’s top football clubs. This sponsorship signals BlockDAG’s intent to reach a global mainstream audience , leveraging sports marketing to drive visibility and user acquisition. Combined with the massive reach of the X1 mobile app — already used by 2.5 million+ people worldwide — BlockDAG is building a network effect before even listing its token. The strategy is clear: scale the user base, activate the community, and deploy tools that position BDAG as a real utility token from day one. At the heart of BlockDAG’s value proposition is its hybrid DAG + Proof-of-Work model . This architecture enables the network to process 2,000 to 15,000 transactions per second (TPS) , with tests showing up to 10 blocks per second already. Unlike traditional blockchains that struggle with bottlenecks or high fees, BlockDAG’s DAG structure allows parallel transaction processing , ensuring scalability. Meanwhile, the PoW component ensures network security and true decentralization . This approach avoids many of the centralization concerns seen in newer PoS chains, while still achieving speeds comparable to Solana — but without the downtime that has plagued Solana’s network in the past. The technical foundation has drawn interest from over 4,500 developers , with 300+ dApps in progress and a live testnet already supporting contract deployment. Combined with EVM compatibility and a low-code smart contract builder , BlockDAG is inviting both experienced and new developers to participate — an ecosystem designed to scale. With BlockDAG’s current price at $0.0016 and listing price set at $0.05 , many are now speculating on long-term valuations. Given the infrastructure, user base, and aggressive exchange strategy ( 20+ confirmed listings ), some analysts see $1 BDAG as a realistic mid-term target. This would represent over 60x returns from the listing price — but with the presale entry point, early buyers could see 625x ROI if BDAG reaches $1. These projections are speculative, but they reflect growing confidence as BlockDAG continues to deliver. 10 BTC Auction Adds Urgency Adding to the momentum, BlockDAG is running a 10 BTC Auction Pool until August 11. Every BDAG purchase during the final presale phase qualifies for the auction, with larger purchases earning a bigger share . This promotion is driving significant volume and encouraging large-scale participation — a strategic move as the project nears its $600M presale goal. BlockDAG isn’t just preparing for launch — it’s already operating. With live tools, a massive user base, global partnerships, and technical innovation, the project is setting a new standard for Layer 1 launches. August is shaping up to be a breakout month, and with the GLOBAL LAUNCH release on August 11, the clock is ticking. For those watching the evolution of blockchain ecosystems, BlockDAG may be the most important project to watch in 2025 — and the race to $1 has already begun.
