Speed and innovation mean nothing if developers can’t build easily. Hedera Hashgraph and Internet Computer have big visions—Hedera is for scalable enterprise systems, and ICP is for decentralizing the Internet. But here’s the reality: both struggle to lower the barrier for the everyday builder.
Meanwhile, BlockDAG is flipping the script with its live Beta Testnet “Primordial.” It’s not just about promises—delivering hands-on deployment tools, an integrated dev portal, and EVM-ready infrastructure already attracting serious attention. While others pitch the future, BlockDAG is inviting developers to start building it.
Hedera Hashgraph: Enterprise Speed, But Still Not Plug-and-Play
Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) uses Hashgraph technology—an alternative to blockchain that delivers fast, energy-efficient consensus through asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance (aBFT). It is designed for enterprise-grade applications and supports high-throughput smart contracts with low, predictable fees.
Processing over 10,000 transactions per second, Hedera is ideal for supply chains, payments, and digital identity. Governance is managed by a global council of leading corporations, giving it a reputation for institutional reliability.
As of March 29, 2025, HBAR trades at $0.17—up 51% from $0.112 a year prior. The rise highlights steady growth and increasing confidence in Hedera’s enterprise-first approach.
Internet Computer: Revolutionary Tech, But Market Struggles Continue
Internet Computer (ICP), by DFINITY, aims to host apps and data directly on-chain, bypassing cloud providers. Its Chain Key Technology enables canister smart contracts that run automatically at web speed and scale. Developers can use its protocol .
ICP powers computation, storage, and governance. But while the tech is impressive, market traction has been uneven. As of March 29, 2025, ICP trades at $5.45, down 59% from $13.30 a year ago. Despite this, development continues, and the platform still holds long-term promise for decentralized infrastructure.
BlockDAG Beta Testnet Is Live—and Devs Are Rushing In
BlockDAG’s Beta Testnet, codenamed “Primordial,” isn’t just live—it’s gaining serious traction. It’s a fully operational, EVM-compatible network tailored for rapid dApp deployment, with real tools, live incentives, and architecture ready to support mass adoption. For developers hungry to build without red tape, BlockDAG delivers a launch-ready playground—and it’s already turning heads across the ecosystem.
From day one, developers gain access to:
- A seamless dApp deployment portal
- An in-browser contract generator and wizard
- Full technical documentation at docs.blockdag.network
- A working IDE designed for hands-on, real-time testing and deployment
- Leaderboard-based incentives, where the top 10 builders, miners, and wallet holders earn $2,000 in BDAG each, valued at $0.05/token
What sets it apart? These aren’t testnet tokens—these are real BDAG rewards, offering meaningful value for meaningful effort. Developers aren’t just experimenting—they’re earning.
Even more compelling, the testnet isn’t a side project—it’s a mirror of what’s coming. Over 110,000 wallets are being loaded into vesting contracts, replicating the live distribution logic of the upcoming mainnet. These contracts unlock in stages—40% at activation, followed by 20% each week for the next three weeks—ensuring a full-cycle stress test of the vesting system. Token tracking, unlock visibility, and automated validation are all managed via BlockDAG’s smart contract stack and user-facing wallet dashboard.
And while all that’s happening on the tech side, the numbers are surging on the funding front. $210 million raised. Over 19 billion BDAG sold. A 2,380% ROI since batch 1. Batch 27 is live at just $0.0248 per BDAG, and presale momentum is only accelerating.
This isn’t just another testnet—it’s a launchpad. And BlockDAG isn’t waiting around—it’s bringing the builders in now, arming them with tools, capital, and a clear runway to deploy the future of Web3.
Why Access Beats Ambition, & Why BlockDAG Is Winning
There’s no shortage of big ideas in crypto. Hedera brings speed and structure. Internet Computer offers an entirely new internet. But here’s what they’re missing: ease. Devs—new or experienced—can jump in and build today.
BlockDAG’s Beta Testnet proves that they’ll show up if you give builders tools, documentation, incentives, and a low-friction environment. It’s not just a testnet—it’s a call to action. While others are still setting the stage, BlockDAG is giving devs the keys to the kingdom.
With everything from a working IDE to smart contract rewards and full EVM compatibility, BlockDAG isn’t asking developers to wait for “someday.” It’s telling them: Your future is already live. Based on the explosive presale traction, thousands are answering that call.
