During Keynote 3, BlockDAG shared its plans to build a sustainable ecosystem aimed at supporting long-term growth and reaching a $600 million target.
Developing an Ecosystem for Developers
The keynote focused on technical solutions intended to support future scalability. BlockDAG introduced several initiatives, including the BlockDAG Academy, Developer Grant Program, and Global Hackathon Series. The BlockDAG Academy offers training not only in technical skills but also in understanding the deeper concepts of smart contracts and decentralized apps. 'With the right guidance, smart contracts and blockchains are simple abstractions,' noted advisor Maurice Herlihy.
Encouraging Participation Through Grants and Programs
BlockDAG's Grant Program provides support to those developing applications and tools for the platform. Additionally, the Ambassador Program engages users to spread the word and educate others. The global hackathon series offers up to $100,000 per event, encouraging developers worldwide.
Supporting Global Community and Infrastructure
BlockDAG's community is actively involved, with over 170,000 active holders and 800,000 users engaging with platform applications. The sale of over 16,600 ASIC miners supports the platform's Proof of Work system, strengthening its physical infrastructure.
The $600 million target represents not only a financial goal but also strategic growth in technology and community. Keynote 3 marked a shift towards active project execution and worldwide participation.
