BlockDAG Beta Testnet vs Pi Network & GateToken: Wallet Utility, Airdrops, & User Involvement

BlockDAG Beta Testnet Turns Wallets Into Active Hubs as Pi Falls 70% & GateToken Reaches $2.6B

In today’s crypto environment, user interaction often begins—and deepens—with the wallet. While Pi Network introduced mobile mining with simplicity and GateToken focused on utility within its exchange, BlockDAG is shaping its future around wallets as interactive platforms. Instead of passive storage, wallets in BlockDAG’s Beta Testnet now act as gateways for mining, rewards, and live network testing.

With measurable performance and intuitive design, BlockDAG’s wallet-first focus presents an encouraging shift — one that places users right at the center of meaningful blockchain participation.

Pi Network: From Mobile Simplicity to Market Volatility

Pi Network entered the scene with a mobile-first approach, making it possible for users to mine coins directly from their phones. By using the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), Pi allowed transactions to validate without consuming heavy device power. Initially, mined coins stayed within a closed ecosystem, limited to in-app use.

This changed on February 20, 2025, when Pi launched its Mainnet, enabling external trading. Pi Coin hit $1.97 shortly after its debut, but dropped to $0.737 — a decline of 62.63%. By March 27, 2025, prices ranged between $0.84 and $0.85, marking a 70% drop from the February peak.

Still, the project’s user base kept growing. KYC-verified users rose from 12 million in June 2024 to 18 million by the end of that year. Despite price challenges, user interest remained strong.

GateToken (GT): Building Value Through Exchange & Supply Strategy

GateToken (GT) powers the Gate.io exchange, offering users discounts on trading fees, early access to new tokens, and other benefits. Launched in April 2019 at $0.40 per token, GT has delivered impressive returns—posting an ROI of about 58.09x in USD terms. In early 2024, it traded at $5.127, and by the close of that year, had climbed to $17.167—marking a 300% gain.

By March 2025, GT’s market cap exceeded $2.6 billion, placing it among the top 50 crypto assets. This growth ties back to Gate.io’s deflationary approach, including token burns every quarter. By late 2024, over 31 million GT tokens worth roughly $190 million had been removed from circulation, reducing the total supply to under 100 million.

BlockDAG Beta Testnet Highlights Wallet Utility & Incentivized Activity

With its “Primordial” Beta Testnet, BlockDAG is making the wallet much more than a place to store tokens. It becomes the starting point for every major interaction—from receiving airdrops to tracking mining performance, testing contracts, and monitoring vesting schedules. In the first 30 days alone, over 100 wallets are being actively reviewed to measure ease of use, transaction speed, and progress tracking.

Every presale wallet gets 10,000 testnet tokens automatically, distributed through a three-week vesting timeline. A built-in dashboard shows both locked and unlocked balances, making it easier for users to stay updated without needing technical expertise. At the same time, developers gain insights into smart contract activity triggered by wallet actions.

The rewards don’t stop there. Users with the top 10 transaction counts, most mined tokens, or largest holdings will each earn $2,000 in real BDAG coins at the $0.05 launch price—real rewards for real participation.

This focus on usability is supported by impressive financial traction. BlockDAG has raised $210.5 million across 27 presale batches. With the current token price at $0.0248, early buyers from Batch 1 have seen a 2,380% ROI. More than 19 billion BDAG coins have already been purchased.

In this setup, the wallet isn’t just a background tool—it’s the central command for every user action on the testnet, balancing simplicity for newcomers with depth for experienced users.

Wallet-Centered Networks Could Shape What’s Next

Pi Network emphasized mobile mining. GateToken offered solid exchange-based benefits. But while both platforms showed different paths to user growth, BlockDAG is focused on how people actually use their wallets—and how that activity can shape the future of crypto interaction.

By designing a system that tracks real use, ties rewards to behavior, and places the wallet at the heart of it all, BlockDAG moves past passive holding. It offers a more transparent and engaging path forward. For platforms looking to drive lasting participation, this approach could point the way to what’s coming next in user experience and blockchain utility.
