Crypto mining has entered a new phase, and BlockDAG (BDAG) is taking the lead. Previously, mining meant expensive setups, endless energy bills, and long waits to break even. BlockDAG breaks away from this with a two-track system: high-powered ASIC rigs for advanced users and a mobile-first X1 app for everyday participants.
Currently, more than 2 million people mine using their smartphones, while over 18,180 ASIC machines have already been purchased. This mix has quietly created one of the most widespread mining networks in the space, before any BDAG coin has even gone live on exchanges.
Two Ways to Mine in One Expanding Ecosystem
BlockDAG’s mining setup brings in everyone. Power users are ready with the X10, X30, and X100 miners, scheduled to ship between July and August 2025. These machines are tuned for efficiency and made to operate within the upcoming BlockDAG mainnet.
But the game-changer is the X1 mining app , letting people earn BDAG directly through their phones. No need for expensive equipment or big energy usage, just a tap-to-earn system running on the Proof-of-Engagement model.
In less than a year, this approach has attracted over 2 million mobile users, far outpacing initial growth seen by other major Layer 1 networks. Now it’s not about who can spend more, but who chooses to participate.
How This Mining Structure Builds Urgency
There are several key reasons why this model is drawing rapid attention.
- Supply Still Locked: Coins mined by both mobile and ASIC users aren’t circulating yet, creating built-in scarcity.
- Decentralized Power: Instead of central control, BlockDAG’s model spreads hashrate through its wide community base, enhancing decentralization.
With 23.3 billion BDAG already sold and almost 200,000 unique holders, this project is up and running, not stuck in a draft.
Where It Stands Against Other Layer 1 Projects
Back when Solana debuted, mobile mining wasn’t available. Ethereum users waited years before easy-to-use mining apps came out. Kaspa has only recently improved mining tools for regular users. BlockDAG flips that timeline. Everything is already live, before listings even begin.
- Live testnet
- Smart contract builder
- Developer grant programs
- 20 CEX listings already revealed
- Over $323 million raised without support from VCs
Plus, with a mining base already earning and engaged, the real question is no longer why join? But how fast can I?
优势价即将截止
Yet, the bigger story is the momentum behind BlockDAG. The ecosystem is gaining traction quickly:
- A growing number of miners means more active users
- More users strengthen the network structure
- A stronger network increases BDAG’s overall demand
With no early unlocks, private allocations, or VC control, BlockDAG offers a level playing field that many Layer 1 projects lack. It’s not just aiming to become another Layer 1; it’s creating a shared economy. The X1 app shows that access can be simple, while the ASIC rig rollout builds the system’s future backbone. With early supporters already seeing 2,660% growth since batch 1, the next move is clear.
