BlockDAG Sells 18,000 Miners Pre-Launch, Expands Network

BlockDAG, a Layer 1 project that integrates Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) technology with Proof-of-Work (PoW) security, has made significant strides in its infrastructure development. The project has already sold over 18,000 mining rigs to early adopters, demonstrating a tangible and growing physical network even before the mainnet launch. This physical network is a clear indicator of the project's progress, as opposed to mere price speculation.

BlockDAG has confirmed the shipping schedules for its X10 and X30 miners, with deliveries set to begin in June and July 2025. These deliveries will not only expand the network but also reinforce its decentralized foundation. The project's inclusive approach to mining is evident in its mobile-first model, which started with the X1 Miner App. This app has garnered over 2 million users who earn BDAG through daily engagement activities such as tapping, referring, and staying active. Many of these users are now upgrading to hardware mining, indicating a strong transition from mobile to hardware participation.

The new X10 and X30 units are compact ASIC devices designed for everyday users. They do not require specialized power sources and are optimized for BlockDAG’s hybrid DAG plus PoW algorithm. These miners can process thousands of transactions simultaneously, adding speed and resilience to the network. By combining mobile and hardware participation, BlockDAG is setting up a mining ecosystem that supports wide-scale engagement from day one.

One of the biggest challenges in crypto mining is the lack of transparency around delivery. BlockDAG is addressing this by providing a structured rollout. The X10 Miner, ideal for individual users and small setups, will begin deliveries on August 15, 2025. The X30 Miner, designed for higher-capacity operations with increased BDAG output, and the X100 Miner, built for large-scale mining and institutional use, will both start shipping on July 7, 2025. This phased launch allows the network to grow steadily, enabling hardware users to become the earliest contributors to the system before mainnet activation.

Selling more than 18,000 mining units before launch is a significant indicator of market confidence in BlockDAG’s long-term potential. These buyers are not chasing short-term gains but are building infrastructure before the asset is even listed on exchanges. In the broader crypto space, BlockDAG stands out by relying on a decentralized model grounded in Proof-of-Work and DAG, similar to Bitcoin and Kaspa, while delivering faster and more scalable performance. With its live testnet, EVM support, and a no-code smart contract builder already in place, BlockDAG is launching a full-stack ecosystem from the ground up.

Four weeks ahead of the projected token listing in Q4 2025, BlockDAG’s production mainnet will go live. At that point, all pre-sold miners will connect to the functioning network, providing real-time mining from X10 and X30 hardware, community nodes and active staking pools, DeFi tools including a DEX, bridge, and oracles, and no-code dApp deployment for developers. With 40% of the presale supply set for airdrop during Week 2 of launch, and over 23 billion BDAG already sold, the network will go live with both infrastructure and participants fully in place. This connection between early ownership and active contribution could help BlockDAG avoid the slow starts that many 2021–2023 projects experienced post-launch.

In an era where many crypto projects focus on hype before substance, BlockDAG is doing the opposite. It is delivering hardware, building its base, and inviting users to help shape the future. With over 18,000 mining units already sold and more shipping this summer, the foundation is already taking form. This isn't just a presale; it's the formation of a working network powered by its own community. With BDAG priced at $0.0020 for now, those joining the miner network also gain access to one of the best entry points available, ahead of the mainnet launch, the airdrop, and the exchange listings. Simply put, BlockDAG isn’t waiting for momentum; it’s building it right now.
