<p>Cosmos and Algorand are widely recognized Layer 1 platforms that began with deep academic backing and major tech promises. Both aimed to fix major blockchain issues like interoperability, speed, and scaling. Their technical efforts have made some progress, but both projects still struggle with wider adoption and consistent market growth.</p>

<p>BlockDAG (BDAG) has gained steady global traction—not just through upgrades, but through solid actions in delivery, clarity, and public engagement. With over $209.5 million raised in presale, BlockDAG shows what it means to actually move forward in the Layer 1 space.</p>  
<h2 id="cosmos-focused-on-linking-blockchains">Cosmos: Focused on Linking Blockchains</h2>  
<p>Created in 2014 by Jae Kwon and Ethan Buchman, Cosmos was designed to solve problems around connecting different blockchains. It secured $17 million in 2017 through an initial coin offering and launched its mainnet, Cosmos Hub, in March 2019—marking a big step in its mission.</p>  
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter"><a href="https://blockdag.network/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> <img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdbb4jxCknTivLZhC3PHM_fhoqaQEtnT53mpcqDhJdI0DVPF2LJn4wnA71xNba09idZuG9F4fk5AprOvf9ho8857AvTwrcyb_AP4ErkoBuLkwihJXEMWMG8Pm2PiYqmfAUGRufu1g?key=oaeiFnpq3GNRBxUDtHZ7CWkA" alt=""> </a>

<p>Cosmos also received notable financial support, such as a $55 million Series B led by Paradigm in 2019 and a $10 million boost led by 1confirmation in 2020. By late 2024, its native coin ATOM had a staking rate that moved between 54.1% and 65.71%, ending with 232.16 million staked. The market cap ranged from $1.43 billion to $5.5 billion, closing the year at $2.43 billion.</p>  
<h2 id="algorand-built-for-speed-and-decentralization">Algorand: Built for Speed and Decentralization</h2>  
<p>Silvio Micali, an MIT professor, founded Algorand in 2017 to improve blockchain speed and reliability. The mainnet and its native coin ALGO went live in June 2019, with ALGO initially priced at $2.40 during its coin offering.</p>  
<p>Technically, Algorand uses a Pure Proof-of-Stake system, making transactions fast and minimizing the amount needed to participate—helping decentralize the network. By June 2024, Algorand had completed over two billion transactions, including a record-breaking 43 million on January 1, 2024. The first quarter of 2024 had 403 million transactions, up 288% from the previous quarter, and user accounts reached 35 million, averaging 800,000 monthly active users.</p>  
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter"><a href="https://blockdag.network/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> <img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXerdUbIJ1Gou4G5_WK8UhjJBp5UgdC_sa-99x3NlovFP0Qi9bTTQeiDhyN_PQFfZP9vg5L_eNJIPi4vGadHX3URU80pKvXYkfDfTp_7GY_moVZtEIR-hXkR37mnx-gsPYt59MeLog?key=oaeiFnpq3GNRBxUDtHZ7CWkA" alt=""> </a>

<p>Still, ALGO's market stats haven’t been strong. On March 26, 2025, ALGO was priced at $0.21—a 22.38% drop over the past year and far from its 2019 peak of $4.77. Market cap stood at $1.84 billion.</p>  
<h2 id="how-blockdag-has-already-raised-over-209-5m-and-keynote-3-leading-to-new-highs">How BlockDAG Has Already Raised Over $209.5M and Keynote 3 Leading to New Highs!</h2>  
<p>BlockDAG’s massive $209.5 million presale wasn’t about hype—it came from actually delivering. While many projects rely on buzzwords, BlockDAG puts in the work. It shipped almost 10,000 X-series miners, reached over 800,000 users on the <a href="https://blockdag.network/product/blockdagx1" style="color:inherit;text-decoration:inherit" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">X1 Miner App</a>, and drew in more than 400,000 <a href="https://t.me/BlockDAG_Tap_Miner_bot" style="color:inherit;text-decoration:inherit" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TG Tap Miner</a> game players. People can see what BlockDAG is doing, not just hear about plans.</p>  
<p>Currently, BlockDAG is in presale batch 27, with the coin priced at $0.0248. That’s a 2,380% rise from batch 1, showing how early supporters backed a project that keeps meeting expectations. Over 19 billion coins have been sold, proving strong and growing interest.</p>  
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter"><a href="https://blockdag.network/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> <img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfBKRI-vcuY-2PQHzZb8fFWDMEQExHMuKggkRgdR2Myv6Tl6mkZBpMinufE1QEey66EtEtVkZPDjktDT_4G7wNJzycZifrQ5P2wH1KwehxsaRzEDr7HsaSmxkWG-4-GxqeGHK7xyg?key=oaeiFnpq3GNRBxUDtHZ7CWkA" alt=""> </a>
 <figcaption class="wp-element-caption">

</figure>  
<p>The real strength behind this is its community. With more than 100,000 members involved in testing, mining, and building, BlockDAG’s support base isn’t passive. Their involvement helped the presale not only succeed but thrive.</p>  
<p>This isn’t just another big funding number. It’s about people choosing something real. Not based on big promises, but because BlockDAG keeps showing up—on schedule, at scale, and with results that matter. That’s what makes this presale stand apart.</p>  
<h2 id="wrapping-up">Wrapping Up!</h2>  
<p>Cosmos and Algorand have made big strides in technology, shaping ideas on how Layer 1 platforms can evolve. Yet, their paths show that solving tech problems isn’t enough—results, user support, and progress people can track are just as critical. This is where BlockDAG clearly leads.</p>  
<p>Its $209.5 million raised, over 19 billion coins sold, and an active ecosystem aren't just figures—they show follow-through. In a space full of promises, BlockDAG reminds everyone that what really counts is showing up and getting it done.</p>
