BlockDAG Presale Surges Past $232M With Layer-1 Scaling Narrative
BlockDAG ($BDAG), a Layer-1 protocol leveraging DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) architecture, continues to be one of the highest-funded presales of 2025. With over $232 million raised, the project has attracted significant attention from investors looking for scalable blockchain alternatives outside of Ethereum or Solana ecosystems.
The BDAG protocol is designed for:
- Parallel transaction validation, enabling high TPS (transactions per second)
- Energy-efficient consensus
- Support for DeFi and low-latency dApps
Although community members speculate about Tier-1 exchange listings, as of May 15 no official confirmations have been made. The project remains in its pre-launch phase, with the testnet rollout expected before Q3.
Analysts suggest a conservative post-listing valuation range between $0.12 and $0.18, assuming exchange support and protocol readiness materialize.
Solaxy ($SOLX): Solana’s Layer-2 Star Hits $36.2M with Live Validator Growth
While BlockDAG attracts early-stage capital, Solaxy ($SOLX) is quietly building substance within Solana’s ecosystem. As of May 15, Solaxy has raised $36,208,017.02 in its ongoing presale, now priced at $0.001724 per SOLX, with a price hike expected within the next 8 hours.
Unlike hype-driven Layer-1s, Solaxy is a fully modular Layer-2 protocol built to enhance Solana’s speed and usability. It supports:
- Optimistic rollups
- MEV protection
- Cross-chain router tooling
- Native compatibility with Neon EVM, expanding Ethereum developer access
Solaxy also powers a live validator testnet with 100+ nodes and is backed by staking contracts already holding 90M+ SOLX — a sign of early commitment by long-term participants.
Live Ecosystem Stats:
- Total Raised: $36.2M (confirmed)
- Current Price: $0.001724
- Staking Live: Yes
- Audits: Coinsult
- Buy Options: Card, Crypto, or Solana wallet via Web3Payments
Solaxy is integrating with multiple DeFi protocols and oracle feeds, targeting predictive finance, NFT indexing, and decentralized tooling.
Market Outlook
Solaxy’s early community and tooling growth suggest solid listing potential later in 2025, with analyst projections ranging from $0.015 to $0.022 post-listing. Long-term potential could exceed $0.035 if staking APYs and validator participation scale in parallel.
Its real-world metrics — from actual wallet growth to developer SDK adoption — give it an edge in a crowded Layer-2 field dominated by Ethereum clones.
Final Thoughts
BlockDAG is riding a strong wave of speculative interest backed by a $232M presale and a unique architectural pitch. But until exchange confirmations and protocol milestones go public, it remains in “potential mode.”
Solaxy, by contrast, is executing visibly and consistently — with validators running, presale live, and over $36 million raised without overreliance on hype cycles.
For risk-calibrated investors, Solaxy’s real activity and live staking ecosystem may represent a more balanced opportunity versus headline-driven alternatives.
