BlockDAG Raises $325 Million in Presale, Announces 100 Million BDAG Airdrop

BlockDAG, a pioneering blockchain project, has successfully raised $325 million in its presale, marking a significant milestone in the cryptocurrency landscape. The project has also announced a 100 million BDAG airdrop, designed to reward builders, testers, and early participants who contribute to the network before its official launch. This airdrop is structured to incentivize meaningful engagement and development, setting it apart from typical publicity-driven token distributions.

The airdrop is divided into four tracks: Testnet, Presale, Social, and Referral. Each track is tailored to drive specific types of engagement. For instance, the Testnet Quests focus on utility, encouraging users to interact with the live, EVM-compatible testnet, report bugs, and deploy dApps. The Presale Quests, on the other hand, reward users who purchase BDAG at the current special price, download the X1 Miner app, or commit to mining rigs. Social Quests aim to increase visibility through actions like follows, retweets, and group joins, while Referral Quests incentivize viral growth by rewarding users who onboard active participants.

BlockDAG’s approach is not just about distributing tokens; it is about creating a functional ecosystem. The project’s testnet is already operational, and its Smart Contract Builder is live. Miners are set to begin shipping in July and August, and the mainnet rollout is scheduled to start four weeks ahead of the listing. This proactive approach ensures that the network is being built by its earliest users, not just observed by them. The airdrop serves as a distribution tool tied directly to contribution, making it a stress-tested rollout in motion.

With $325 million raised in the presale and over 23.3 billion BDAG coins sold, BlockDAG has already garnered significant traction. The project’s current price is $0.0080, well below its Batch 29 tag of $0.0276 and its confirmed $0.05 listing level. The GLOBAL LAUNCH release allows users to complete three $0.0080 purchases and then unlock $0.0017 for any buy until August 11, bringing back batch 1 value. This price gap implies massive ROI potential from current levels, but what sets BlockDAG apart is its structured approach to delivering this upside.

The launch format is clear and timed. The mainnet goes live four weeks ahead of listing, community mining pools activate three weeks out, and 40% of presale coins are airdropped two weeks before listing. Lending tools, oracles, and other DeFi components go online alongside them. These are not promises but timestamps, ensuring that the project values readiness over marketing. The airdrop itself is backed by 100 million BDAG coins and driven by measurable action, paired with a pending U.S. sponsorship campaign and 2 million X1 miners, BlockDAG is building momentum from the inside out.

BlockDAG’s strategy is a departure from the typical crypto project that delays infrastructure until liquidity appears. By creating traction from within, long before the public market gets access, BlockDAG ensures that builders, testers, and early participants are not sidelined but rewarded. This structured distribution to those actively shaping the network’s future offers a second shot to earn by doing, similar to the UNI drop in 2020. For those who missed out on that opportunity, BlockDAG provides a chance to be part of a network that values contribution over noise.
