I'm following this BlockDAG and things are really getting interesting. The pre-sale has already surpassed $438 million, which is quite significant for a project of this size. The people involved in market making are talking about a launch range between $0.38 and $0.43, well above the $0.0078 of Lot 33 where it is now.
What really stands out about the BlockDAG is this hybrid system that combines Proof of Work with DAG, something we don't see every day. It also has compatibility with EVM and the public audits from CertiK and Halborn, which add legal credibility. Many are comparing it to Solana and Avalanche in their early stages, given the progress it's making.
Meanwhile, the market is moving. Stellar is far from that $0.80 target that was projected, now trading much lower around $0.17. Ethereum also took a significant hit, testing $2.32K instead of the support at $3,300. But the BlockDAG remains on the rise, with the pre-sale still ongoing until February 10.
The momentum of BlockDAG feels different, you know? The community is engaged, the project has a clear roadmap, and external audits provide security. If that launch projection comes true, it could be an interesting move to watch. At least BlockDAG is moving while other projects are under pressure.
