## BlockDAG’s Latest AMA: A Bright Look Ahead
BlockDAG’s recent AMA was more than just an update; it offered a sneak peek into a rapidly expanding project with a clear strategy for 2025. With over 800 participants, the session shared exclusive insights about the upcoming March 2025 beta test net launch, introduced a $30 million grants program, and showcased new talent eager to propel BlockDAG’s vision forward. The event also celebrated the success of BlockDAG’s presale, which has already amassed over $197 million, with more than 18.5 billion BDAG coins sold. Currently, BDAG coins are priced at $0.0248, reflecting an impressive 2,380% return since the presale kicked off.

## Fresh Talent Steering BlockDAG’s Growth
A highlight of the AMA was the introduction of key new team members, each bringing valuable expertise to BlockDAG’s ecosystem. Marcus Xavier, the new Head of Learning, will spearhead the BlockDAG Academy, a comprehensive educational initiative. With a background in educational leadership and blockchain technology, Marcus has previously developed some of the first accredited blockchain qualifications worldwide. He aims to create a three-tiered curriculum that ranges from basic crypto knowledge to advanced BlockDAG network development.

His focus on hardware innovation and community engagement aligns perfectly with BlockDAG’s mission to make mining accessible and scalable. These new appointments underscore BlockDAG’s dedication to building a knowledgeable and capable team to guide the project through its next phases.
## Beta Test Net Launching in March 2025
The March 2025 beta test net launch is poised to be a significant milestone for BlockDAG. Jeremy, the Chief Technology Officer, provided detailed updates on the performance testing framework and the preparations in place to ensure the network is stable, scalable, and secure.
