BlockDAG has launched its testnet, offering developers expanded capabilities including EVM support, MetaMask integration, and NFT creation.
BlockDAG Testnet with EVM and NFT
The launched BlockDAG testnet already provides developers with real-time testing capabilities. They can develop and deploy EVM-based smart contracts, mint NFTs, and test transactions using a faucet. MetaMask support allows users to connect quickly using known tools.
Accessibility of Development Tools
Developers on BlockDAG can use Solidity to deploy contracts and connect through MetaMask, simplifying the process and eliminating the need to learn complicated new platforms. In contrast, Cardano requires developers to use functional programming languages, increasing the learning curve.
Understanding User Growth and Trust
BlockDAG is showing strong growth, backed by community support. With more than 200,000 holders and over 2 million users engaged on the platform, its user base is actively involved in the ecosystem. Cardano, while boasting a multi-billion dollar market cap and a high number of deployed smart contracts, faces slower growth and less accessible tools for developers.
BlockDAG demonstrates developer-friendly tools and active user engagement, while Cardano struggles with the accessibility of its solutions. BlockDAG's strategy of providing tools and the ability to test them in advance may offer it competitive advantages.
