BlockDAG’s Awakening Testnet takes the opposite route, syncing directly with hardware and live users. More than 19,900+ X10, X30, and X100 miners have already been sold, with new batches scaling weekly. These rigs are not theoretical; they will link straight to the testnet through Stratum integration, contributing real hashing power before mainnet launches. This is not just concept testing. It is real-time participation.
And the activity goes further. Over 3 million daily users are already engaging with BlockDAG through the X1 mobile mining app. That’s not simulated demand or automated test traffic, it is genuine traction.
Add to that real-time explorers, QA testing for stability, UTXO removal for leaner accounts, and early EIP-4337 groundwork, and the picture is clear. BlockDAG is not waiting until mainnet to confirm its ideas, it is running them now with live infrastructure.
