WelshIndependent BlockDAG infrastructure · Wales
One chain, run by the people mining it.
WelshDAG operates a public mining pool, RPC endpoint, block explorer and network map for BlockDAG chain 1404. No gatekeeping, no private endpoints — every number on this page is read straight from the stack that serves it.
Keep the servers running
Mining here is free and always will be. If you would like to put something in anyway, this is where it goes — servers, bandwidth and the archive node that keeps the chain’s history queryable. Not a salary.
One-off, in $25 steps. Every amount includes a month of member access — the rest is a gift, not a longer term.
Donating never puts anyone on a public list. Supporters choose whether to be named and what to be called, and can change their mind at any time. We never publish a wallet address or an amount.
Thank you
Point a miner at the pool
There is no registration and no account. Your wallet address is your username — shares are credited to it the moment your miner connects, and payouts go back to that same address.
Have a BDAG address
Any EVM wallet that can hold BDAG on chain 1404. Add the network below if you haven't yet.
Set the pool details
Use the server, username and password below in your miner's configuration. ASICs, GPUs and CPU miners all connect to the same endpoint.
Watch it appear
Your rig shows up on the live dashboard within a couple of minutes, with its hashrate, shares and earnings.
WelshDAG Miner for Windows
No miner yet? Download our free installer for Windows 10 and 11. It asks for your wallet address, sets up the pool details above for you, and mines with your CPU. No command line needed.
Download →Everything we run is public
The same endpoints and dashboards we use to operate the chain are open to anyone who wants to check our work.
Live mining dashboard
Pool hashrate, connected miners, block height, per-rig shares and earnings, and a country-level map of where miners connect from.
dAppsdApp library
Every dApp, token and NFT collection deployed on chain 1404, read straight from the chain rather than from a marketing list — searchable, with the projects we have identified by name.
ExplorerBlock explorer
Browse blocks, transactions, addresses and contracts on chain 1404.
RPCPublic RPC endpoint
Full-archive JSON-RPC at https://rpc.welshdag.trade — free to use for wallets, dApps and
node tooling.
Network map
A live census of the nodes we can see on the network: countries, client versions and peer counts.

These are the only network details you need. Anything claiming to be WelshDAG with a different chain ID is not us.

Community-run, and checkable
WelshDAG is not a company. It is infrastructure kept running by people who mine on it, and it is built so you never have to take our word for anything.
Public by default
Pool stats, node health, the network census and the chain itself are all open dashboards. What we see when something breaks is what you see.
Your address, your rewards
No accounts, no custody of your mining balance. Shares are credited to the address your miner logs in with, and payouts return to it.
Honest about downtime
When the node is resyncing or the pool is held for maintenance, the dashboards say so plainly, with what is happening and how long it is expected to take.
Welshdag does not provide any financial advice. Please do your own research.
Welshdag is an independent community node set up by the community, for the community.
Independence notice Hysbysiad annibyniaeth
WelshDAG is an independently operated node and mining pool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to BlockDAG or any associated company.
WelshDAG hosts mining for the BlockDAG engineering token only. It does not currently support mining on the BDAGScan network. Other pools may support that network; WelshDAG does not.
Two networks currently share Chain ID 1404 with divergent block histories. Before pointing hashrate here, please confirm you understand which network you are mining. WelshDAG makes no representation as to the present or future value of any token produced.
WelshDAG is a hobbyist project provided free of charge, as-is and without warranty of any kind. No guarantee is made as to availability, uptime, block discovery, payout timing, or the value of any token. Use at your own risk. WelshDAG is not a financial service, custodian, or investment product.
