BlockDAG Raises $337.5 Million in Presale, 2,660% Growth for Early Investors

BlockDAG, a Layer 1 blockchain project, has introduced a hybrid model that combines Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) scalability with Proof-of-Work (PoW) security. This innovative approach aims to achieve both decentralization and high transaction speeds, addressing a common challenge faced by many Layer 1 chains. The hybrid system allows for parallel processing, ensuring trustless performance at scale, which is crucial as Web3 expands globally.

Recently, BlockDAG launched its limited BEAT VESTING PASS, a significant move that allows buyers to unlock 80% of their tokens on the first day. This departure from the usual slow release schedules demonstrates the project's confidence and encourages new participants to join. The BEAT VESTING PASS is available for a five-day period, during which all BDAG purchases receive an 80% token unlock at the current price of $0.0016. This offer is set to expire on August 11th, coinciding with BlockDAG’s GLOBAL LAUNCH release.

BlockDAG’s hybrid model stands out because it integrates PoW within its DAG system, ensuring decentralized mining and avoiding the centralized checkpoints that have plagued other DAG projects like IOTA. This model provides the combined benefits of DAG speed and Bitcoin-level security, making it suitable for real-life demands in finance, IoT, and supply chains. Unlike traditional blockchain systems, which add blocks sequentially and face bottlenecks during high usage, DAG networks enable multiple transactions to be validated simultaneously, improving speed, scalability, and decentralization without costly setups.

BlockDAG’s presale has been one of the most successful in recent years, raising over $337.5 million with 23.8 billion BDAG coins sold so far. Early participants have seen significant growth in their funds, with a 2,660% increase since batch 1. The project’s target of $600 million now seems within reach as market enthusiasm continues to build. The recent unlock feature, paired with a clear presale end date and an upcoming mainnet transition, has driven one of the highest conversion rates seen this year.

Beyond its technological advancements, BlockDAG is building a robust ecosystem and culture. Its testnet is operational, and the X1 Miner App has gained over 2 million users. Additionally, more than 18,000 ASIC miners have been distributed globally. BlockDAG has also partnered with major sports teams, including the Seattle Seawolves in rugby and the Seattle Orcas in cricket, integrating Web3 technology, NFT releases, and fan engagement content. These partnerships, along with earlier collaborations with UFC champion Alex Pereira and Inter Milan, demonstrate BlockDAG’s wide marketing approach and its aim to become the first truly global DAG-based Layer 1 network.

The upcoming GLOBAL LAUNCH release is not just about token listings or immediate liquidity; its full rollout details remain undisclosed. However, it marks the beginning of BlockDAG’s move from presale to operational deployment. With presale completion near and the BEAT VESTING PASS active for only a few days, this is a key moment for the project. BlockDAG is establishing itself as a practical Layer 1 chain, with a secure DAG-PoW architecture, active infrastructure, expanding user base, and cultural partnerships, rather than a mere speculative project. Timing matters as much as price in this space, and the window for securing these benefits is closing rapidly.
