BlockDAG’s Keynote 3 Shocks Crypto World: While TRON and Cardano Talk, 750K Users Just Tapped In

Not all crypto projects are built to engage the everyday user—and that’s where most fall short. While Cardano and TRON have spent years refining their infrastructure and scaling their ecosystems, BlockDAG is doing something different: it’s making adoption feel effortless. From Cardano’s academic foundation to TRON’s content-driven mission, both platforms have made notable progress. 

Yet, BlockDAG’s approach—gamifying mining through its Tap Miner game and drawing over 400,000 users—shows that accessibility can drive real traction. With over $208 million raised in its crypto presale and a 2,380% ROI since batch one, BlockDAG is proving that simplicity might be the real breakthrough.

Cardano: A Research-Driven Blockchain Evolution 

Cardano (ADA) was founded in 2015 by Charles Hoskinson, a co-founder of Ethereum, with a mission to create a third-generation blockchain focused on scalability, interoperability, and sustainability. Developed by IOHK (Input Output Hong Kong), the platform emphasizes peer-reviewed research and formal methods to build a secure and resilient infrastructure. 

From 2015 to 2017, Cardano conducted a multi-phase ICO, raising about $62.2 million, with token prices beginning at just $0.0024 per ADA. The platform officially launched in September 2017 with basic ADA transaction support. Cardano’s two-layer design—CSL for transactions and CCL for smart contracts—runs on the Ouroboros consensus, a Proof-of-Stake protocol known for efficiency and security. 

Since its launch, Cardano has steadily grown in both technology and adoption. As of March 26, 2025, ADA is trading at $0.7456, up 13.63% from a year ago, with a daily trading volume exceeding $1.1 billion. 

TRON: Empowering Decentralized Content Sharing  

TRON (TRX), founded in 2017 by Justin Sun, set out to revolutionize digital content distribution by removing intermediaries between creators and consumers. The project raised around $70 million in its September 2017 ICO, just before China’s ban on token sales. TRX initially launched as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum but transitioned to its own mainnet by June 2018. 

TRON’s architecture is divided into three layers: Storage, Core, and Application, each supporting decentralized applications and smart contracts. It uses a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism, relying on 27 elected Super Representatives to validate transactions and maintain the network. Since launch, TRON has maintained strong momentum, especially in Asia. 

As of March 26, 2025, TRX is trading at $0.12, representing a 20% increase from $0.10 a year ago. Its 24-hour trading volume sits around $800 million. TRON’s focus on speed, scalability, and content ownership has helped secure its position among leading crypto platforms.

BlockDAG Turned Gamified Mining Into a 400K-User Success Story

BlockDAG didn’t just launch a mobile game—it launched a movement. Specifically, the Tap Miner game, integrated into Telegram, has pulled in over 400,000 users, with more than 100,000 playing every single day. It’s proof that crypto doesn’t need to be complicated to be compelling.

By turning mobile mining into a play-to-earn experience, BlockDAG eliminated barriers that usually deter everyday users—no technical setups, no hardware headaches. Instead, Tap Miner gamifies mining with a viral loop: mine, earn, upgrade, repeat. The results speak for themselves.

Antony Turner, BlockDAG's CEO, summed it up: “The results of this play-to-earn game have been phenomenal.” And that’s not hype—it’s backed by stats. Over 750,000 people have joined the X1 Miner App ecosystem overall, many starting through the Tap Miner game.

This push toward accessible mining tools is fueling BlockDAG’s meteoric rise. With over $208 million raised in its presale, more than 18.9 billion coins sold, and a current batch 27 token price of $0.0248, early believers are already seeing a 2,380% ROI since batch 1.

In effect, BlockDAG is building behavior. The Tap Miner game isn’t a side project; it’s a user acquisition engine, onboarding hundreds of thousands in a way crypto rarely manages. It’s fun, it's addictive, and it’s working.

And with the mainnet around the corner, these early users might just be tapping their way into something much bigger.

Accessibility May Be the Real Catalyst

Cardano and TRON have each carved out distinct roles—Cardano through its methodical, research-led approach, and TRON via direct creator-to-consumer engagement. But BlockDAG is pushing a different kind of momentum—one built on usability and viral reach. 

Its ability to attract over 750,000 users through tools like the X1 Miner App and Tap Miner game, while maintaining strong crypto presale numbers and delivering a 2,380% ROI, speaks to a model that prioritizes participation over complexity. If the next phase of crypto is about who gets involved and how easily, BlockDAG might be setting the pace, not following it.
