🖨BlockDAG's Development Toolkit
BlockDAG’s testnet rollout brings a range of development tools for users to explore. Here's what’s available:
The BlockDAG Block Explorer is a web-based tool that offers users a transparent and organized view of blockchain activity. It allows anyone to track real-time transactions, view detailed block information, and interact with smart contracts directly from the interface.
View live transactions and recent blocks
Check full transaction details, including sender, receiver, and gas fees
Explore and verify deployed smart contracts
Monitor overall network stats in one place

The BlockDAG Faucet is a simple tool that gives users free testnet BDAG tokens for testing and learning purposes. By entering a testnet wallet address, users receive tokens they can use to deploy smart contracts, run transactions, and explore the network without spending real money.
Helps developers test smart contracts before mainnet launch
Useful for learning blockchain basics in a risk-free way
Allows validators to simulate network conditions

The Smart Contract IDE on the BlockDAG network is a full-featured platform that helps developers easily write, test, and deploy smart contracts. It includes tools like syntax highlighting, autocompletion, a real-time compiler, and a built-in debugger to simplify the development process. With direct deployment options to both testnet and mainnet, the IDE makes contract creation more efficient and beginner-friendly.
Write and test smart contracts in one place
Get instant error checks and code suggestions
Deploy contracts directly from the IDE
