BlockDAG Launches ‘Awakening’ Testnet as Presale Tops $410 Million

Key metrics come from project disclosures reported in sponsored articles.

Overview

  • The live testnet supports EVM smart contracts with EIP‑4337 features including smart wallets, transaction batching, gas sponsorships, and social recovery.
  • Two test dApps, Reflection and Lottery, are operating alongside tools such as a no‑code builder, an open‑source IDE, an NFT explorer, and a CSV‑exportable block explorer.
  • The project reports a shift to an account‑based design with runtime upgradability and claims test throughput of about 1,400 TPS.
  • Presale figures are cited at over $410 million raised with roughly 26.4–26.5 billion BDAG sold at a batch price of $0.0013.
  • Coverage frames BlockDAG as delivery‑focused compared with sentiment‑driven tokens, though independent corroboration of operational metrics remains limited.
