BlockDAG has successfully raised $430 million in its presale, positioning itself as a potential solution to the blockchain trilemma of scalability, security, and decentralization. The project boasts a processing capability of up to 15,000 transactions per second and has distributed 27 billion BDAG tokens to over 312,000 holders. The presale, currently in its 31st batch, offers tokens at a final price of $0.0015, with audits conducted by CertiK and Halborn. This development comes as Aster (ASTR) experiences an 18% drop this week due to concerns over data accuracy and transparency. In contrast, Zcash (ZEC) has surged over 400% in the past 30 days, driven by increased demand for privacy-focused cryptocurrencies.
