In 2025, Toncoin became one of the most talked-about coins in the market. Its direct link with Telegram pushed it beyond $7, with millions of active wallets and a spot in the global Top 10 rankings. However, new attention is now on BlockDAG, which has entered the post-launch stage with powerful traction.
Unlike most projects that take years to build user bases, BlockDAG already has over 3.5 million miners and has secured nearly $430 million in funding before its full launch and the upcoming AMA session going live on Binance. With over 27 billion coins sold and Batch 31 now priced at $0.0015 for a short time, many are asking if BlockDAG (BDAG) can match or even outperform Toncoin. The answer depends on its infrastructure, adoption, and growth potential.
Toncoin Growth Fueled by Telegram’s Integration
Toncoin’s performance this year has drawn attention for good reason. Its price surged past $7 after integrating with Telegram’s wallet and bot systems, creating a spike in user activity. Daily transactions passed 2.5 million, and the number of active wallets rose sharply. At its highest point, Toncoin broke into the Top 10 coins by market cap. This growth was not built on promises alone but came from real utility and high throughput.
The key driver was its direct connection to Telegram, one of the world’s largest social platforms. This integration meant Toncoin had immediate access to a global user base and strong usage incentives. Market confidence pushed prices upward, supported by both retail demand and larger financial players.
Any new project hoping to follow this kind of momentum must deliver more than temporary hype. It requires actual usage, robust infrastructure, and consistent user engagement from day one. Without these, sustaining long-term adoption would be nearly impossible.
BlockDAG Launches With Real Infrastructure and Utility
Unlike many new launches, BlockDAG comes prepared with active users and strong technical delivery. More than 3.5 million people are already mining coins through the X1 app, while over 20,000 hardware miners have already been sold. This network uses a hybrid Proof-of-Work plus DAG design, scaling from 1,000 to 15,000 transactions per second. This matches or even exceeds Toncoin’s current performance.
As of Batch 31, BlockDAG has raised nearly $430 million in presale and sold 27 billion coins. For a limited period, users can secure coins at just $0.0015 with the TGE code. This code also provides early access and special rank-based airdrops.
Airdrop distribution is tiered based on user rank:
- •1– 300 Rank: Instant Airdrop
- •301 – 600 Rank: Airdrop after 30 min
- •601 – 1000 Rank: Airdrop after 60 min
- •1001 – 1500 Rank: Airdrop after 2 hours
- •1501 – 2000 Rank: Airdrop after 4 hours
- •2001 – 5000 Rank: Airdrop after 6 hours
- •5001 Rank: Airdrop after 24 hours
Beyond mining, the system supports both EVM and WASM, making it easier for developers to bring in apps from Ethereum and other platforms. With Smart Account groundwork (EIP-4337), a Stratum Protocol for syncing miners, and a UTXO-free structure, BlockDAG offers speed and efficiency. Its blockchain explorer, live Dashboard V4, and features like Buyer Battles and Referral Leaderboards show a working ecosystem, not just future plans.
BlockDAG is also about to take the global stage with a Binance AMA on October 24, at 3 PM UTC, unveiling insider updates and roadmap announcements leading to Keynote 4: The Launch Note and GENESIS DAY.
Could BlockDAG Reach the Top 30 by Market Cap?
Toncoin’s rise to the Top 10 came from Telegram’s strong support. BlockDAG, however, builds from the ground up. Its focus is not on riding one major app but on creating an independent, active ecosystem. The X1 app ensures millions of participants mine coins daily, while its smart wallet features add direct user incentives. Already, more than 312,000+ holders are engaged before full exchange listings.
Analysts note that if BlockDAG reaches a $5 billion market cap after launch, it would sit within the top 30 rankings. Toncoin peaked between $20 and $25 billion, but BlockDAG has something Toncoin lacked at the start: deeper funding. With nearly $430 million already raised, BlockDAG enters the market with strong liquidity and early strength.
Future growth could be accelerated by CEX listings, which have not yet been officially announced but are widely expected. These would likely boost daily trading volumes, pushing BlockDAG higher in CoinMarketCap rankings.
Importantly, BlockDAG isn’t trying to copy Toncoin: live miners, airdrop rewards, and working infrastructure power its growth. If momentum continues across mobile mining, smart accounts, and exchange partnerships, a Top 30 position is highly possible. Its 2,940% ROI from Batch 1 to Batch 31 proves demand is already strong.
Summing Up
BlockDAG and Toncoin both highlight how different paths can lead to major growth. Toncoin’s success was built on its Telegram connection, which delivered instant global reach and daily activity.
BlockDAG, by contrast, focuses on infrastructure and user ownership. With over 3.5 million miners, presale nearing $430M, and over 27 billion coins sold, its foundation is strong before full-scale launch. The special Batch 31 price of $0.0015 further increases attention.
While Toncoin reached the Top 10, analysts suggest BlockDAG could realistically enter the Top 30 if adoption and exchange listings continue. Its community-driven model and working systems make it more than just a presale project. BlockDAG may not chase Toncoin’s exact path, but it is clearly building momentum for its own powerful rise.
