The tracker has 64 rows. Each one represents a single, verifiable public commitment made by BlockDAG Network, its founders, or its official channels. The methodology below is the rubric we apply to decide what makes the list and what status each promise gets.
What counts as a "promise"
- Made publicly — Telegram, X, website, AMA, whitepaper, press release, investor materials
- Made by the project, its founders, its official channels, or a person presenting as a representative
- Specific enough to be verified or falsified — "we will list on Binance" qualifies; "we want to be the best L1" does not
- Has a deadline (explicit or strongly implied)
Status definitions
- Broken — deadline passed, commitment not met, no credible re-commitment within reasonable window
- Partial — delivered late, downsized, or modified from the original commitment
- Pending — deadline not yet passed; we track but do not score
- Kept — delivered against the original terms by the original deadline
Sourcing
Every row links to a primary source. Telegram quotes are preserved as screenshots and where possible cross-checked against archive.org. X posts use archive snapshots even after deletion. Whitepaper claims cite version + page. On-chain claims include transaction hashes. Legal documents are filed in the evidence library by case ID.
Reassessment cadence
The tracker is reassessed every 14 days, or sooner if the project makes a public statement that materially affects a row. Status changes are timestamped in the row history (visible on hover; full diff log available on request).
Corrections
We correct mistakes promptly and conspicuously. If we have miscategorized a promise, send a correction to contact us with a primary source. Corrections are logged at the bottom of every affected row and announced in the newsletter.
