BlockDAG News: X1 Native Mining Goes Live, Vesting Pass Launches

BlockDAG News: What the New Native BDAG Mining Update Means

Today's BlockDAG news brings two product-level announcements rather than another deadline reset: native BDAG mining has gone live inside the X1 app, and a new purchase option called the Beat Vesting Pass promises buyers 100% of their BDAG unlocked on launch day, skipping what BlockDAG now confirms is a standard four-month vesting schedule.

Native BDAG Mining Goes Live on X1

Per BlockDAG's official X account, the X1 app now supports mining "New Native BDAG" alongside its existing Legacy BDAG mining function, within the same application. Stated details:

• 4M+ X1 users, per BlockDAG's own figure

• 200K+ daily mining sessions, per the same post

• Users can mine both Native and Legacy BDAG from the same app

• A referral system boosts mining power for users who invite others

• Access via the X1 app, downloadable at blockdag.network/product/blockdagx1

The X1 app's user count is worth some historical context: it has grown in a fairly traceable line over the past year and a half, from roughly 500,000 users in early 2025 to 800,000, then 2 million, 2.5 million, 3 million, and 3.6 million across successive months. Today's "4M+" figure is broadly consistent with that trajectory rather than an outlier jump, which distinguishes it from some of the other claims in BlockDAG's recent announcements that this outlet has flagged as repeated or inconsistent.

The "Beat Vesting Pass" Reveals a New Detail

The second announcement introduces a purchase option BlockDAG calls the Beat Vesting Pass, offering:

• 100% of purchased BDAG unlocked on launch day

• No four-month vesting period

• No staggered release

• Tied to the same stated price of $0.0000007 per BDAG

• Each qualifying $100 purchase also counts as one entry into the ongoing $3M USDT raffle

This announcement is notable for what it confirms rather than just what it promotes: it's the clearest direct statement yet that standard purchases are subject to a four-month vesting schedule with staggered release, rather than being immediately liquid. 

Prior BlockDAG posts in this outlet's coverage have referenced "no vesting, direct coins" language in some campaigns, which sits in some tension with today's confirmation that a four-month vesting default exists that buyers now need a specific pass to bypass. Readers should treat the vesting terms on any individual purchase as dependent on which specific promotion or pass applies, rather than assuming a single universal rule across all of BlockDAG's recent campaigns.

One Thing That Didn't Change Today

For the first time in several days of coverage, BlockDAG's promoted BDAG price held steady rather than moving again. Both of today's posts reference the same $0.00000007 figure used in yesterday's "final 24 hours" and buyback announcements, rather than introducing a new number.

Price consistency across two consecutive days is a small but real change from the pattern this outlet has tracked over the past week, where the promoted figure moved on nearly every update.

BlockDAG News: Price Action and Standing Risk Context

BDAG's actual open-market price continues to sit well above the promoted entry figure. As of this writing, BDAG trades at approximately $0.00001960, per CoinMarketCap, down 4.02% over the past 24 hours. Other current metrics:

The standing risk context remains unchanged: a investigation into alleged funding discrepancies and breach-of-contract allegations remains unresolved, with a warning banner still pinned directly on BlockDAG's CoinMarketCap page.

Conclusion

Today's BlockDAG news is more product-focused than recent posts — a genuine native-mining feature launch inside X1, and a new vesting-bypass option that, in the process, confirms standard BDAG purchases carry a four-month vesting schedule. The X1 user count appears to be a consistent extension of real historical growth rather than a repeated or inflated figure. The promoted price, at least for now, has stopped moving day to day — worth watching whether that holds.

Product features, vesting terms, user figures, and pricing are project-sourced and have not been independently verified. Allegations referenced from prior investigations are serious but remain allegations, not court findings; BlockDAG's denial is also part of the public record.
