🖨BlockDAG's Development Toolkit

BlockDAG’s testnet rollout brings a range of development tools for users to explore. Here's what’s available:

1. BlockDAG Explorer

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

2. BlockDAG Faucet

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

3. Smart Contract IDE

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

4. Contract Wizard

The Contract Wizard on the BlockDAG network is a streamlined tool that simplifies smart contract creation and deployment. Built into BlockDAG IDE Pro, it allows developers to generate custom contracts like ERC20, NFTs, stablecoins, and more, without writing code from scratch.

• Easy setup: no coding required

• Multiple templates: ERC20, NFT, stablecoin, and more

• MetaMask support: quick wallet connection

• One-click deploy: fast contract deployment

• Verify in IDE: built-in contract verification

• Custom options: add mint, burn, roles, voting, etc.

Node Setup for Testnet

Running nodes on the BlockDAG testnet is essential for maintaining network stability and testing real-world scenarios. It allows developers and validators to simulate transactions, monitor performance, and contribute to a more secure and decentralized environment.
