BlockDAG completes leadership restructuring, core network development progresses smoothly, token may launch in February

【Crypto World】BlockDAG has recently undergone an important personnel adjustment. Nick Vandenberg has officially taken on the role of CEO, Jeremy Harkness has joined as CTO, and founder Gurhan Kiziloz has shifted to focus on fundraising and regulatory work.

From a technical perspective, progress has been made. Harkness revealed that the core network architecture and ASIC mining are already running in the development environment with good performance. However, staking functionality and auditing work are still in progress and have not been completed yet.

Regarding the launch schedule, the current plan is as follows: BlockDAG pre-sale will close on January 26, followed by the token generation event one week later. The official token launch is expected to occur between early February and mid-February.

It is worth noting that this blockchain has chosen a special launch mode. It adopts a partially centralized design, initially using closed mining methods, with hardware deployment phased in, and a community oversight committee established to participate in ecosystem operations. However, more details about subsequent governance rights distribution and decision-making mechanisms have not been announced yet.
