When a crypto project releases a keynote, it often stirs excitement—but not every update holds up under review. BlockDAG’s Keynote 3 came with major reveals: the launch of its testnet, a new mobile app called X1, several announced partnerships, and a refined roadmap. With more than $216 million collected, 19.3 billion coins distributed, and a 2,380% increase since batch 1, BlockDAG (BDAG) had a lot to show. Now in batch 27 and priced at $0.0248, the pressure was real. So, did the keynote meet expectations—or was it just a smart rollout?
Testnet Launch—Real Rollout or Early Glimpse?
Leading up to Keynote 3, the testnet reveal was the most talked-about update. For weeks, BlockDAG users waited to see if the network’s technical side would finally go live. During the keynote, the team showed working demos of real-time transactions, synced nodes, and active user activity. This wasn’t just slides and concept art—it looked like real code in action.
That said, the version shown was still in early stages. The current testnet is not open for wide validator use or third-party wallet connections. So while it gave a much-needed peek into what the platform is building, it’s not yet ready for full public use.
Even so, the progress is clear. The team isn’t just selling a dream—they’re showing working parts. This version might be basic, but it sets the base for wider launches in the near future. If BlockDAG continues building at this pace, a full network launch could come sooner than expected. The early access gave users something real to engage with, but many are still waiting to see how fast the platform can go from test phase to live performance.
X1 App—Real Utility or Just a Visibility Boost?
BlockDAG’s X1 mobile app made waves at launch, grabbing attention for its user-friendly approach. Built to let people “mine” BDAG coins using their phones, the app was introduced as a link between everyday users and the wider BlockDAG network. Keynote 3 gave a full walkthrough—showing the app’s design, user steps, and its connection to the testnet. Though the mining setup is more of a simulation than a technical process, it does well in pulling in new users through rewards and referrals.
The timing also plays a key role—releasing this tool during the presale brings added visibility and could attract more participants. Still, some observers say the real usefulness of the app depends on how well it connects to the mainnet later on. Right now, the X1 app functions more as an entry point than a full-featured tool. But it’s a calculated move that seems to be working. Keeping users engaged is the focus—and in that area, BlockDAG appears to have made a smart bet.
Roadmap and Partnerships—Clear Plan or Just Name-Dropping?
One of the most discussed parts of Keynote 3 was the announcement of new partnerships. While several names and logos appeared, there was a clear lack of detailed terms or confirmed deliverables. Many of these partners are early-stage blockchain platforms and Web3 startups. They show potential but haven’t yet led to real integration. On the other hand, the roadmap offered a stronger sense of direction. With set timelines for mainnet launch, validator features, and ecosystem apps, the revised roadmap looked more focused and structured than earlier versions.
Still, meeting these goals on time is what will matter most. The team is working with tight deadlines and high expectations. What gives the roadmap weight is the strong presale performance, with $216 million raised so far. That adds confidence in funding and planning. Even so, regular and clear progress updates will be essential to keeping the community informed and engaged as the project moves closer to full release.
Final Take
BlockDAG’s Keynote 3 wasn’t all show—it delivered tangible, trackable progress, particularly with the testnet and user interaction via the X1 app. However, not everything lived up to the hype. Some partnership announcements lacked substance, and while the testnet works, it’s still in the early stages.
Even so, few presale projects offer this level of transparency and access. With over $216 million raised, a 2,380% return, and the token now at batch 27 priced at $0.0248, BlockDAG has laid a solid foundation. The key now is execution. Those watching closely have valid questions—but they also have good reason to keep an eye on developments.
