FAQs

Exchanges, Trading & Market Access

Some platforms have set up their own trading environments without our liquidity or market makers. This leads to thin order books, bot activity, and erratic pricing, and that's entirely on those platforms, not us. LBank going live ahead of April 8 was coordinated and aligned with our rollout. Stick to exchanges that are officially aligned with our rollout for reliable trading conditions.

Yes, deposits are open on select exchanges. The chain is running, deposits are live, and the rollout is on track.

BDAG will be relisted on both LBank and BitMart as part of the planned exchange rollout strategy.

Timeline:

30 May: Pre-open trading begins on both exchanges.
30 June: Full trading opens across all scheduled exchanges.

The relisting is designed to ensure stronger liquidity, improved market stability, and coordinated trading across multiple global platforms. Further details on deposit opening, trading pairs, and exact timing will be confirmed once the relisting schedule is finalised.

The exchange rollout is being executed in phases, not all at once. Smaller, faster-moving exchanges were brought on first because they have shorter operational timelines and require less coordination. Larger exchanges such as LBank and BitMart require more time due to compliance requirements, liquidity commitments, package negotiation, and coordinated marketing.

The phased sequence is:

Phase 1: Initial market access via faster-moving venues.
Phase 2: Controlled liquidity and order book stabilisation.
Phase 3: Larger exchange listings (including LBank and BitMart).
Phase 4: Broader price discovery under mature market conditions.

This is a deliberate strategy to build outward in stages, not a sign of settling for lower-tier outcomes.

Trading was paused on LBank to prevent price formation under conditions that could distort the market – specifically: incomplete transfer functionality, inconsistent deposit access, and fragmented user reach across exchanges.

The pause was about managing market structure, not abandoning the exchange. Relisting will proceed when the following conditions are met:

Sufficient liquidity depth.
Balanced deposit and withdrawal access.
Consistent arbitrage flow between exchanges.

LBank remains part of the planned exchange rollout.

Deposits and withdrawals will open once the team confirms the market is ready to support:

Sufficient cross-exchange liquidity depth.
Balanced order books across venues.
Functional arbitrage flow to prevent price distortion.
Full operational readiness across all active exchanges.

Once full transferability is enabled, price gaps between exchanges will compress rapidly. The team is sequencing this carefully to avoid a disorderly market during the rollout phase. Full transferability is the goal, not a permanent restriction.

Once deposits, withdrawals, and fuller exchange interoperability are enabled, the market should move toward more natural alignment across exchanges. Until then, the team’s focus is on preventing disorderly pricing from defining the project’s real market value too early.

Fair price discovery requires the following conditions to be in place simultaneously:

Enabled deposits and withdrawals across all active exchanges.
Consistent liquidity depth on each venue.
Functioning arbitrage flow to align prices between exchanges.
Reduced market fragmentation.

The team is working toward this connected market structure. Fair price discovery is the outcome once these conditions are met.

Yes. Market-making support is part of the exchange and liquidity strategy. This is standard practice for launch-stage markets. The purpose is to create:

Tighter bid-ask spreads.
Deeper order books.
Improved trade execution for users.
Reduced volatility during the early market phase.

Because we are controlling the rollout.
We already have trading active across multiple exchanges. Others are opening deposits and preparing liquidity ahead of April 8.

Uncontrolled launches destroy projects.
We are doing the opposite — staged rollout, proper market making, and structured liquidity.

That’s how you protect 151,000 holders — not gamble with them.

Why are some exchanges behaving differently?

Because not all exchanges operate the same way.

Let’s be clear:

Some have open deposits (preparing for April 8)
Some are trading normally
Some are not aligned with our market-making strategy
Some are running bot-driven environments

We are not supporting platforms that distort the market. We are aligning with exchanges that support long-term liquidity and real price discovery.

Price right now is early-stage discovery.

And early discovery, when fragmented, can look messy.

That’s exactly why:

We control liquidity
We phase exchange access
We align market makers

The goal is simple:

Sustainable price discovery — not artificial spikes.

This is the part most people underestimate.
We are building:
NFT Marketplace
DEX (swap, lending, borrowing)
Smart contract builder (open source)
Full ecosystem infrastructure
On-chain USDT integration
Developer tools and hackathons
Trading is just the entry point.

Wallets, Dashboard & Access

During TGE, BDAG is issued directly on the BlockDAG mainnet. Wallets must be connected to the BDAG network to:

View your BDAG balance
Interact with on-chain contracts eg; allocation and vesting contracts
Send and receive transactions

BDAG is primarily supported by major EVM-compatible wallets for storing, buying, and interacting with its ecosystem.

The recommended wallets include MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Bitget Wallet, and Plus Wallet.

These wallets connect via WalletConnect to the BlockDAG platform. For other wallets you should contact your wallet provider support direct.

It is important to note that BlockDAG does not provide support for third party wallets. We do however provide the critical details for you to connect to the BlockDAG Network. See above.

Here are some generic steps you can use:

Metamask:
https://mainnet.blockdag.network/mainnet/wallet-setup#metamask

Trust Wallet:
https://mainnet.blockdag.network/mainnet/wallet-setup#trust-wallet

Cold Wallet:
https://mainnet.blockdag.network/mainnet/wallet-setup#cold-wallet

If the network or token does not appear automatically in your selected wallet of choice, you may add it manually.

General steps:

Open wallet settings.

Select “Add Network” or “Custom Network”.
Enter the official BlockDAG network details.
Save the network.

Use only the verified BlockDAG mainnet parameters below when adding the network manually.

Here are the official Mainnet Details to connect your wallet to the BDAG Network

Network Name: BlockDAG Mainnet

RPC URL: https://rpc.bdagscan.com

Chain ID: 1404

Explorer: https://bdagscan.com

Chain Type: EVM- compatible

https://purchase3.blockdag.network

You will be required to connect your wallet so that the dashboard can retrieve your data and history
This is simply a matter of clicking Connect Wallet button, and follow the prompts.

NOTE: You must use the wallet that you identified when you purchased your BDAG as this is where you BDAG has been allocated to at TGE.

If you have changed your wallet since TGE, then you will need to move the assets (inc BDAG) into the new wallet.

If this is the case and you did not effect a change with BlockDAG before TGE then you will not see your BDAG in the new wallet.

The easiest solution is to move your old crypto wallet to the new one, by either importing your secret recovery phrase (seed phrase) into the new wallet app/device or by transferring assets via blockchain transaction. Using the 12-24 word recovery phrase restores all your addresses and balances instantly.

Using Your Seed Phrase (Restore/Import)

This method makes the new wallet an exact replica of the old one.

Get your seed phrase: Locate the 12/18/24-word recovery phrase from your old wallet.
Open the new wallet: Install and open the new wallet app or device.
Select "Import": Choose the option "Import Wallet," "Restore," or "I already have a wallet".
Enter words: Carefully enter the phrase in the correct order.
Set PIN/Password: Create a new password for the new device.
Verify: Your funds should appear, as the new wallet is now authorized to manage your keys.

NEVER share your seed phrase with anyone, ever.
Ensure you are using the official wallet software.

Base Wallet is a Smart Wallet and is not compatible with the BDAG Network. Our team is working on a solution for you to be able to claim your coins. We will update you as soon as that is done and tested.

At TGE, allocations are done in batches so if you have set up your wallet and connected successfully to the BDAG Network then you may need to be patient whilst your batch is processed. All batches will be processed prior to Listings go live.

Your BDAG is allocated to the wallet that you nominated when you purchased your BDAG. The allocation contract will send your BDAG here ONLY.

Claims & TGE

The BlockDAG mainnet goes live and the ecosystem becomes operational, validating real transactions and creating on chain verifiable blocks.

What users should do:

1. Ensure you retain access to the wallet used during presale or the wallet linked to your  dashboard.

Via: https://purchase3.blockdag.network

2. No claims or BDAG will be allocated on Day 1. Mainnet Launch

BDAG claiming opens via the BlockDAG dashboard.
Circulating supply is released in line with the published vesting schedule.

What you should do:

Log in to the BlockDAG Dashboard https://purchase3.blockdag.network
Connect the same wallet used during presale. Select “Claim BDAG”.
Confirm the transaction in your wallet. You will need to sign the transaction in your wallet that you used as part of the presale process. (You will be prompted to sign / verify the transaction so follow the prompts) This will ensure that you are the reciprocate to receive your presale purchase allocation of BDAG.

Claims are executed on-chain.
Tokens are sent directly to your connected wallet.
Only the portion unlocked at TGE is claimable. Based on the vesting contract allocation and your presale parameters. (Default vesting is: 40% then 20% per month over 3 months.)
Any remaining allocation is released automatically according to vesting.

Additional Notes:

BlockDAG does not charge claim fees.
Users pay only standard network gas fees.
Claims do not expire and can be completed later if needed.

The community overwhelmingly supported the application of a vesting contract which essentially means that where vesting is applied to your coins, your initial allocation will be 40% of your total coins with a further 20% made available to you each subsequent month for three months. So your initial allocation should be 40% of your total allocation.

Vesting schedules determine when tokens become liquid, when they can be traded, when they enter circulation. Get this wrong, and you create instability – sudden supply shocks that can crater value and punish long-term believers. Get this right, and you create a stable foundation for sustainable growth that rewards patience and aligns everyone's incentives toward the project's long-term success.

These two figures measure different things and will not always match.

Your Total BDAG Balance includes:

Allocated BDAG from all purchase rounds.
Bonus allocations.
Wallet-linked balances.
Any other account-level totals.

Your Claim Screen shows only what is currently claimable, which is limited to:

The current active claim batch.
The vesting-unlocked portion.
Tranches supported by the currently deployed claim contracts.

A lower figure on the Claim screen does not mean coins are missing. It means not all allocations are active in the claim interface simultaneously. The interface is being updated to display a clear visual breakdown of each allocation category.

Presale allocations are released in staged batches, not all at once. The claim infrastructure has been built specifically to support multiple vesting rounds.

Current status:

Some allocations are already claimable.
Others remain locked by vesting rules or batch sequencing.
Claim availability expands as additional contract rounds are activated.

Locked allocations are not being withheld arbitrarily. They are subject to a defined staged unlock architecture.

The allocation system automatically applied the bonus structure that was active at the time of your purchase. The split between core BDAG and bonus BDAG was calculated and recorded by the system at the point of transaction. Once recorded, this split cannot be edited manually.

The coins are present in your account. The issue is one of display classification, not missing funds. Support cannot alter the recorded allocation structure after the transaction has been processed.

You are not paying this fee. BlockDAG’s relayer covers the gas cost on your behalf.

The figure displayed – 500,000 – is denominated in wei, which is the smallest unit of BDAG.

To be precise: 500,000 wei = 0.0000000000005 BDAG. This is a negligible amount. BDAG transaction fees are lower than those of any other Layer 1 blockchain for transfers, claims, and general transactions.

At TGE, allocations are done in batches so if you have set up your wallet and connected successfully to the BDAG Network then you may need to be patient whilst your batch is processed. All batches will be processed prior to Listings go live.

Your BDAG is allocated to the wallet that you nominated when you purchased your BDAG. The allocation contract will send your BDAG here ONLY.

Yes.

BDAG is:

Minted
Distributed
On-chain
Already trading

What varies right now is:

Where you can deposit
Where liquidity is active
Which exchanges are fully open

That’s rollout — not a limitation.

Supply, Liquidity & Tokenomics

The tweet was part of CMC's official verification process — not a random update or manipulation. CoinMarketCap requested updated supply figures from us as standard procedure during verification and data alignment. The updated circulating supply, total supply, and max supply figures you saw were simply our response to that request, so CMC can display accurate data on their platform.

The After-Sale allocation comes from the project’s treasury and designated distribution allocations – funds that were always earmarked for ecosystem growth, launch-phase distribution, liquidity strategy, and market expansion.

It does not come from staking rewards. Staking rewards are a separate pool reserved exclusively for protocol reward distribution and ecosystem participation. After-sale coins and staking rewards are funded from entirely different allocation buckets.

Early exchange liquidity was funded through project-controlled arrangements: specifically, treasury-designated allocations and market-making support structures. Order books were intentionally seeded to make trading possible from day one. They were not expected to form organically at launch.

This is standard practice for launch-stage markets. The priority going forward is for those liquidity pools to evolve into open, organically driven markets over time.

Live circulating supply data is available at: https://supply.bdagscan.com/circulating-supply

A single headline number is misleading without context.

The supply should be understood across the following categories:

Liquid market float: claimed and unlocked user holdings actively tradeable.
Locked staking: coins committed to staking contracts and not in circulation.
Vesting-controlled allocations: presale and other allocations still subject to unlock schedules.
Exchange liquidity: coins deployed to exchange order books.
Treasury and ecosystem reserves: project-controlled funds not in open circulation.

The team is working toward a live dashboard that shows each of these categories transparently.

Total exchange liquidity allocation: 4.5 billion BDAG.

The allocation wallet address can be verified on-chain: https://bdagscan.com/address/0x4938DF5b0eaF8130CA128e480812c2cc5c70b6c4

A full percentage-based breakdown of supply categories – exchange liquidity vs. treasury vs. ecosystem reserves – will be published as part of the transparent supply dashboard currently in development.

Treasury and special-purpose wallets are reserved for specific operational and strategic uses:

Exchange liquidity provisioning.
Ecosystem growth initiatives.
Strategic partnerships.
Market-making support.
Operational runway.
Developer incentives.
Long-term network expansion.

These wallets are not free-circulating supply. They are strategic reserves. Funds are deployed according to project needs, partnerships, and launch strategy – not released to the open market on demand.

The long-term health of the BDAG economy depends on multiple mechanisms working together:

Controlled unlocks and staged vesting schedules to prevent sudden supply spikes.
Staking participation, which locks supply and reduces liquid float.
Treasury discipline, ensuring strategic reserves are not released to the market without purpose.
Utility demand generated by ecosystem products: NFT marketplace, DEX, launchpad mechanics, and dApp participation.

The goal is to build genuine demand for BDAG through utility – not to rely solely on supply restriction.

Staking & Rewards

Staking BDAG means locking your tokens on the BlockDAG mainnet to earn rewards from block emissions. Your BDAG stays locked while it is staked.

Step 1: Connect

Access the official staking dashboard:

https://staking.bdagscan.com/

Step 2: Commit

Lock your BDAG directly on the mainnet.

Step 3: Earn

Receive rewards derived from network block emissions.

Once active, your BDAG begins working immediately.

IMPORTANT: Currently staking is ONLY available using a Metamask Wallet

Why Stake?

Emission-Backed Rewards
Earn BDAG directly from protocol-level issuance.

Infrastructure Alignment
Support operational stability and ecosystem strength.

Long-Term Incentive Design
Structured to reward committed holders over short-term speculation

Direct On-Chain Participation
No custodians. No intermediaries. Native mainnet interaction.

Rewards begin accumulating as soon as your stake becomes active.

However, rewards can only be claimed after 4 weeks of continuous active staking. If you unstake before completing 4 weeks, rewards will not be eligible for claim.

Staking rewards are drawn from a defined, finite rewards allocation pool. The model is not open-ended inflation. Emission is participation-sensitive: as more coins are staked, the same pool is shared across more participants, which reduces the effective APY per participant.

In plain terms: staking APY decreases as total staked supply grows. The total rewards pool does not expand to compensate.

When you request to unstake:

A 3-week cooldown begins
Your BDAG stays locked during cooldown
You still earn rewards until withdrawal
If you add more BDAG during cooldown, the timer resets

BDAG staking operates on 7-day epochs.
If you submit an un stake request during an active epoch:
You must wait until the current epoch completes before withdrawing principal and eligible rewards.
You continue earning rewards for the remainder of that epoch.
This epoch model ensures synchronized reward accounting, fairness across participants, and operational stability.

If your tokens are staked — they are earning.

Simple.

Any issues you’re seeing are:

UI delays
Dashboard sync issues
Claim timing inconsistencies

Not loss of funds.

Everything is on-chain.

Ecosystem & Roadmap

Yes. The roadmap is focused on building a full on-chain ecosystem, not just exchange listings.

Planned development includes:

NFT marketplace.
Expanded staking mechanics.
A DEX for on-chain swaps and liquidity.
ERC-20-style token launches on the BDAG network.
BDAG Turbo launchpad.
Broader developer ecosystem activation.

BlockDAG is building an application layer, not only a trading layer.

Very clear:

April 8 → major trading unlock
More exchange integrations (including Tier 1s)
Miner rollout → decentralisation expansion
Ecosystem products going live
Liquidity deepening across markets

This is where structure turns into scale.

Mainnet is live, producing blocks, and processing transactions. Key performance highlights include fast finality, scalable throughput, and high block production rates.

For live, real-time metrics – including transaction counts, block height, and active addresses – the authoritative source is the block explorer: https://bdagscan.com/

Mainnet serves as the foundation for the next phase of utility, staking, marketplace, and DeFi expansion.

No. Right now, access is controlled for security, stability, and scale — not control.

We are operating behind infrastructure protections (including Cloudflare) because of the size and attention this project has.

Full decentralisation is coming through:

X30 and X100 miner rollout
Expanded node participation
Open network scaling

You don’t open everything day one and expose the system to risk. You phase it correctly.

Because we are delivering.

Not talking — delivering.

Mainnet → delivered
TGE → delivered
Token distribution → delivered
Exchange rollout → in motion
Ecosystem → being built

Most projects don’t get this far.

We are just getting started.
